Il Pizzaiolo in Barking and Dagenham

I walked in with a client 21.27hrs and then a member of staff stood up from a table with 3 ladies abs find me myself that they are no longer serving food. As I was about to leave the 3 lady's on the table then decided to abuse me to leave and the member off staff was laughing with them, please check your CCTV as I will be making a bigger complaint on this.No need to being abused when being turned away for food and when you close at 23.00

Not good. Not the food, nor the service.First, I asked the server if the tuna in the Salad Nicoise was fresh. He said yes but it wasn’t, it was canned and it took half an hour to be served. It had no dressing. I asked for dressing and they gave me olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dress it myself.Then, the penne quattro formaggi was bland. I wanted to cancel the order but apparently the chef had started making it. It had no taste. The food was definitely not worth the wait.The portion size is good hence two stars, but the taste…skip this place.

Food took waay too long to come out, despite not being crowded. The food was a bit bland, overall okay

Bruschetta is meh, skip it. Sadly, Margherita pizza wasn't a real one. Just greasy cheese and one small basil leaf.

Genuine, authentic, family run Italian. We actually just walked past this place and it looked so good that we gave it a try. Pizzas were beautiful and clearly freshly made and hand stretched. Totally reasonable prices too, especially for this part of London. Give the chain restaurants a rest and try this place, you won't regret it. The pasta bowls we saw coming out were enormous and there were lots of smiling faces enjoying them. Lots of Italian nationals in there so that's usually a good sign too. Don't be put off by the basic looking menu, the food itself is great 👍

Fabulous hidden gem of an Italian restaurant. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints.

I loved this place. It was fresh and reminded us of small pizzerias in Italy.Perfect crust, sauce, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil.I want to reconstruct it are home!

Great central location, outdoor sitting, but hardly any traffic, as it is located in the "dead end" street, so no fumes and you can enjoy your food outside. Beautifully decorated inside of the restaurant. The freshly prepared authentic food will certainly please your taste buds. The restaurant is not too big and not too small by London measures. The prices are surprisingly affordable again as pee London measures. Great service, you'll get noticed right away you enter. We will definitely visit again.

The REAL Italian pizza. This is the best pizza in the UK and I can say it as I tried a lot of pizzas in the last 3 years living here. And I also ate pizzas in Italy. So... good food, good price, nice staff. I highly recommend to eat here. I come here with my family (2 daughters and wife) to have a lunch.

In my opinion is the very best cost-value restaurant near Oxford Street. We had a lovely dinner at "Il Pizzaiolo" and everything tasted authentic and delicious. I would definitely go again when in the area!Great pizza, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff.
