Pizzaiola - Oceanside

I'm sorry to have to leave this review because we've been a customer of Pizzaola for 20 years, but there's something serious about the staff behind the counter. I'm just talking about the short bald guy. With more scams than one, he was awfully rude for my family and we were nothing but friendly, loyal customers. He has such an attitude and every time we go in there, he takes it on us. After our third bad interaction we, who ignored us when it was our turn, had to wait and not reacted with as much as a **** when we thank you for the pizza, we decided we had enough. Who treats their customers in this way? This disgusting behavior seems specifically directed at certain customers. We heard the same staff member who was nice to others who felt even worse. Although the pizza is really good, in principle we will not eat again. We also said that the staff of Pizzaolas is disrespectful and we may suspect racists. Such a shame, but a business should honestly take care of disgruntled employees and be nice to their customers. I wonder if someone else had similar interactions? Please like this review if you have. I'm curious.

Ate at Pizzaiola last Monday. The food was delicious but when I went to get bread out of the bread basket, I was shocked to see mold on it. The waitress insisted it was charred. Charred is black and this was green. Will not be going back. Just glad I had already eaten my dinner bc when I saw that, I lost the rest of my appetite!

I've been here for pizza because they have a vegetable pizza out of this world. I decided to try dinner with my husband. There was a small seating problem, but it was my fault because we arrived when the eating sections were being closed and cleaned for closing time. My bad! Along came Diane! Diane was awesome. She apologized for the misunderstanding and got to work to ensure we were well taken care of. I ordered linguine De Mare. It was so delicious that I returned two days later with my husband and daughter. They were also impressed with the service and the food. This is now my go-to Italian restaurant at oceanside. Thanks to the owner for having great servers, managers, and bus boys.

I had banned this place a few years back after the food and service were getting progressively worse and my family also encountered something unsanitary happen behind the counter a worker licking his fingers as he was putting peeperoni on a pie. I decided to give it another try tonight after a couple of years and the pizza crust was like a cold wet noodle, chewy cheese and bland can sauce. Now a half a pie going in the garbage and I feel sick. Re banned.

High quality slice! Their speciality slices are fantastic and the crust is perfect. The chicken bacon ranch slice had a bit too much ranch and not enough chicken, but amazing otherwise!
