When I don't want chain delivery pizza (which is frequently), I always turn to Cafe Pizzaiolo!This is the closest thing I've found to New York pizza nearby (and yes, I've had real New York pizza)....

This pizzeria is a little gem. The pizza is great. My friend says it tastes just like what she knows from NJ. (I grew up on NYC pizza.) The appetizers are impressive. My minestrone soup was made...

It's obvious that they're trying, but I was not amazed by Cafe Pizzaiolo. Months after opening they're still disorganized, to which the clumsy service attests. The pizza was among the best I've had in...

It's a small place but great for pizza. Do not order the spaghetti and meatballs because they taste like Spaghetti-Os. Stick with what they know. I ordered a meatless pizza with tomatoes and cilantro....

This is one of the best pizza delivery in the Crystal City area, the prosciutto arugula pizza is one of my favorites. We always ask from Pizzaiolo for our traditional Friday pizzas.

The pizza here is ok. The topping is good but the crust is-- a bit too crunchy. So crunchy that it breaks if you fold it. I ended up with cuts in my mouth.
