Reviews
We ordered some items from the happy hour menu to share – the cheese pizza, the Brussel sprouts, and the bruschetta. The cheese pizza was a good size – more than enough for the four of us to share along with our other items. It was a pretty good pizza – nice flavor overall with just the right amount of cheese and sauce and a nice texture to the crust. I’d definitely order a pizza here again.
The brussel sprouts were ample but bland and I was disappointed. Same with the bruschetta- the bread was nice but it was surprisingly bland for a bruschetta. The portions are very generous, especially given that these were off the happy hour menu, but I wouldn’t get these again.
They have some booth seating available circled around a bar area – the vibe is mostly cozy pub style mixed with a little sports bar feel. They also have a banquet hall separated by a small thin wall – there was a large party going on that was very loud so it was a tad challenging to carry on our convo. But it’s the holiday season and it contributed to a festive, lively vibe overall.
Service was a tad slow and the servers seemed stressed and maybe overwhelmed- possibly by the large party in the banquet room?
Prices were very good – especially for the area. I didn’t see any parking lot – there’s free street parking in the area but it gets crowded easily.
I’d come again to meet up with girls since it’s a good location for us – definitely a good spot for holiday parties and other gatherings.
Obsessed with their pizza, pasta and desserts.
What I got:
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Alfredo Chicken Pasta
Mozzarella Sticks
Ceasar Salad
Tiramisu
Lunch Portion Beef Lasagna: Lasagna made from homemade meat sauce, ricotta cheese, and topped with parmesan cheese. Served with garlic bread and salad (Caesar shown). Meat sauce is so good. Tastes like nonna made it, fully of flavor! Lunch portion was pretty hearty with garlic bread and salad. Caesar dressing was a little light, maybe more anchovy?
Personal 10” Chicken Pesto Pizza: Pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, sliced tomato, artichoke, mushrooms, and garlic. Personal size was larger than expected. Full of pesto flavor and garlic!
Carbonara: Creamy spaghetti with cured pork, pepper, and Parmesan. One of the best carbonara I’ve ever had. The cured potk they use to make this dish is outstanding! I couldn’t stop eating it!
super hot (temp) and stayed that way for awhile.
price was amazing – two dinner lasagnas and two sodas – $46+tip.
service got 3 stars – not gonna lie: she forgot an appetizer we ordered, she didn’t come around and check on us/refresh our beverages and the other servers were very busy with their phones. parking was tricky being street only but we had found a spot after a go-around. chairs had some padding which is rare these days.
Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. Perfect for a relaxed weeknight dinner for enjoying comfort food in a friendly setting.
Small parking lot in the back, easy to find street parking.
Our server, Jenifer, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure our semi-private party was taken care. The food was delicious, especially the ravioli and chicken fettuccine Alfredo, which everyone loved.
The service, food, and overall atmosphere were perfect for celebrating such a special milestone. Thank you to the entire team at Pinocchio Pizza for helping make my daughter’s 21st birthday so memorable. We highly recommend this restaurant for celebrations and events!
