pie-tanza Review

One of my favorite pizza and pasta places in Arlington they have great lasagna, pizza, and tiramisu!!! Also great for kids!

I've been going here for years. Delicious food at a reasonable price. Something for everyone on the menu. Perfect atmosphere for families. Kind and attentive waitstaff.

I had the primavera pizza without zucchini. It was excellent. I think the tomatoes could be chopped a little smaller and the crust was cooked a little longer than it needed to be, but it hardly affected the taste or texture I was hoping for. Also, the pizzas are on the larger size, I split my pizza with a friend and three pieces left me satisfied.

I will definitely be back.

Great food! Brick oven pizzas and calzones are amazing!

Some of the best food you could ask for as well as the service!!!

When I'm looking for quick Italian food, this is the spot that I frequent. You must get the chicken farm entree! The chicken is so tender. The meat lasagna and sweet tomato penne are pretty good. The meat lasagna is sweet, but not overly sweet. The sweet tomato cream penne is good for someone who is looking for a pasta dish with a creamy sauce. The restaurant doesn't have an Alfredo chicken dish, so this is what I normally order. The antipasto salad is also a good choice with chopped up Italian meats, olives and banana peppers (yum!).

The service is pretty decent. I have never had any major issues there.

The restaurant has a rewards system that I would recommend if you frequent this spot. You have to download their App, which is called Cardagin. After accruing points, you can get rewards such as $5 off. When you pay for your meal, mention that you have the app. You will have to write your phone number down on your receipt so they can record your points.

For this season, they have a gift certificate promotion. If you buy a $50 gift certificate then you get an extra $10 off your next meal. For those that frequent the restaurant, it might not be a bad idea to buy these for yourself. Just saying...

Really busy. Can get crowded. Food is awsum!!!!!! I'm a vegetarian and loved the selection.cant wait to try he pizza

We had a pretty disappointing dinner here. The service was not the problem at all, this review is entirely about the food.

The calamari was bland and mushy. Obviously from a freezer bag and dumped into the fryer. It was served with both marinara and cocktail sauce, neither sauce was really anything to write home about. The marinara was especially boring, the cocktail sauce was probably a decent jar.

The main course was a wood fired pizza. It is infact a real wood fired oven which you can see when you walk in. (Nice!) But it was the least flavorful wood fired pizza I've ever tasted. Normally my favorite style of pizza, but this one was boring and phoned in. It tasted like a floppy delivery pizza with a wood fired crust.

I guess maybe I was expecting too much given the price point. The whole meal was inexpensive, but it also tasted cheap.

Their gooey cookie isn't much of a cookie. Go to the grocery store at the other end of the plaza for a better chocolate chip cookie.

Always good brick oven pizza. The lunch special is my go-to (individual pizza 2 toppings and a drink). Staff is friendly with for service.

Excellent fresh food, great service and reasonable prices. What more could you want?

The menu was a bit dense and difficult to read, but all the food was excellent. We primarily tried the meat pizzas, but I am sure the other options are just as good. The staff were very friendly and service was very fast.

I have eaten at pie-tanza three or four times. The pizza is good but very thin. I wish they were a little more generous with the toppings. They have several local beers available. The staff has always been friendly.

Great menu, great food with quality ingredients. Very gracious and friendly service, always warm and welcoming, courteous, and very fast. And so affordable. No wonder it's always packed with families of all ages. A great experience every time.

Staff was friendly and the food was delicious with good sized portions! I was disappointed that their signature Sangria is only 6oz when I've had double that much for the same price. The professionalism of the staff made me forget that, hence 5 stars.

This place is great. Pizza is solid, and I love their salad.

Had the chicken parmesan to go with a chocolate chip cookie -- all very good

Food is delicious and fast. Service was on point and courteous. Wait time was reasonable, restaurant was extremely crowded, but food and service more than kept up with the pace.

The food continues to be good here, apparently with their full menu despite the pandemic conditions. We had a goat cheese and grape salad and the fettuccine asiago, and both that our expectations. There are plenty of plastic partitions between tables, so we certainly felt quite safe for dinner.

Dinner was great. Kids loved the sausage pizza and my wife and I split the goat cheese and grape salad. We will definitely be back.

I ve used Pie-Tanza for catering several times and it has been awesome. Food quality is fantastic, ordering is easy, and service has been great. They have some of the best meatballs I ve ever had outside of my own and I litterally crave them. Anytime we cater, I always break off a bunch of meatballs for myself to eat the next day. The pizza is really good and all of the pastas I have had have been great. I highly recommend.

Good family restaurant and the food is made with fresh ingredients. Always seems to be packed.

Great food at a very affordable price. I ate a chicken mozzarella and a tiramisu and both were amazing. Totally wil come back to this place

First time there - got table right in front of the pizza prep chef station - fun atmosphere, great service and great food at reasonable prices. Definitely will be back. Very family friendly.

Good service. Very family friendly place. Food is OK.

Really tasty food, reasonably priced, and generally excellent servers

The staff are all really friendly. This is a great place to bring your family, with friends, or just by yourself for a quick meal. I've been here so often that I've had almost everything on the menu at least once.

Appetizers: I love the goat cheese rounds, fried mozzarella, and the garlic bread.

Pizzas/Calzones: the goat cheese and arugula is my go-to

Pastas: the sweet tomato penne is easily my favorite item on the menu.

Desserts: the tiramisu is one of the best in the area.

Great food, friendly service, what else can you ask for

I love this place! I usually grab lunch here because I work nearby and the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy. Everything I've had here has been delicious. Great pizza, great sandwiches, and awesome salads. And it's extremely cheap compared to anything else in North Arlington. It's also pretty much the only place open between 2:30 and 5 in the Lee Harrison shopping center. Definitely worth a visit!

One of my favorite spots for a sit-down meal with friends. Good Italian food with generous portions. I love the sandwich and salad combos as well as the pasta and pizza choices! Casual environment with mood lighting that can make it slightly difficult for older eyes to read the menu, but adds to the ambiance of the place. Quick take out and delicious lunch specials are super convenient!

Great food! Horrible customer service! Waitress was extremely rude. The experience made my husband and I feel incredibly uncomfortable.

I've visited Pie-Tanza a few times. I normally get a simple pizza, but their appetizers and salads are great as well. (I haven t tried any of the entrees, but they all looked very good). They normally have a reasonable selection of wines and a few craft beers (only $5 corking fee if you bring your own wine).

It s a very kid-friendly casual family restaurant so feel safe bringing your young ones here for dinner out, the crowd is easy-going and jovial. The price point is very good for this part of Arlington. The parking is a bit crowded due to the strip mall it s located in, but I ve never been unable to find a spot. It meets all expectations for a nice family restaurant!

Pie Tanza is the best Italian place in town. Ziti was outstanding. Friendly waiters/waitresses. French fries are yummy

Jack is the best waiter I've ever and would love to come back next time I am in the Arlington area. 6/9/2018

Excellent salads. I got the Cobb Salad and since they couldn't do romaine lettuce with the out break then they addressed it and asked if I was okay with mixed greens. They have excellent pasta and sandwiches dishes as well.

I adore this restaurant a lot. theres a very special mood. The kitcen is exeptionaly good. the service is dynamic and the waiters are friendly. The price is honest. I warmly recommend.

Best spinach salad ever! Combined with one if the pizzas makes for a wonderful lunch.

Such a wonderful place. Family friendly, super good food! Our favorite place!

My favorite place for pizza and cannolis. Moved to the San Francisco bay area and still haven't found a pizza place that comes close.

Great pizza. Best pizza in the area. Nothing in the area can compete with pie-tanza pizza.

Pie Tanza is so good that I wish there was a 6th star. Most family restaurants are bleh. You go there for the kids. Pie Tanza is scratch kitchen and wood fired pizza. My wife and I loved before kids but love more with kids. The food is great but they also have dough, coloring for the kids and family friendly prices. They customize to the standards of the extremely picky kids. The wait staff is please and respectful. Like I said I wish there was a 6th star.

I ve been here a few times, the food and service is always good. This is a popular place for families, it seems most times I m here there s always a lot of small children. Likely because the menu has lots of inexpensive options that they enjoy. We always grab a half order of their fries as an appetizer, best in town. I m not sure if you can beat this place when it comes to food quality and cost.

The sausage onion and green pepper pizza is fantastic. I have never been disappointed and I've ordered it over 10 times. Pasta dishes are not as great to me but still passable. Can be busy at dinner time and parking often a hassle.

Good wood fire pizza. Nice then crust all the begs are fresh and cut to small eatable pieces

Love this place!! Visiting the area and just happened to find it. The prices are great and even better, the food is amazing! Great service too!

Pie-tanza serves good pizza and pasta dishes. It's a good place to take the kids, and you will see lots of little ones there. The wait between 6 did 7 on Friday can be over 30 minutes ao go earlier or later.

I have visited several times with my two girls and my friend. All staff friendly and great food. Atmosphere is nice and restroom is clean! Kid friendly!

One of the best family friendly restaurants around, not to mention their food and expert catering services. If you need food for your party or wedding, or are just looking for an excellent dinner out, this is your spot. Great pizza, great staff, good prices; what more do you want?

We sat down at 5:30, ordered 2 salads and 2 kids pizzas. By 6:15 all 3 tables around us were seated after us and already had their food. Waiter kept saying "just 5 minutes...". By 6:30 after not getting food nor a visit from manager, we left.

The place offers a fantastic range of delicious food. I loved dining here. Employees are always kind, rates are fair and the place is always neat.

Love their pizza margherita with fresh basil and the mini cannolis for desert. The picture is actually of the spinach and artichoke pizza. We decided to try something new this time.

They have recently opened up indoor seating again so it is a good place to go for a date as the weather gets colder.

I have some food allergy issues so I really appreciated Allison's efforts to check on what I could eat safely. Great service.

Very good Italian restaurant. Portions are huge so good for sharing.

If you love a visibly loving environment, visit this establishment. Everyone there face will be accompanied with a smile. It s very clear when people are truly enjoying a place and the food. There were very few empty seats and everyone busy happy. I throughly enjoyed my visit and would recommend it to anyone who adores good vibes and lives to create great memories

Good pizza, fast service. Somewhat crowded tables and a bit noisy, though ther lunch special gives you great food for a great price. I recommend for anyone in the Lee-Harison area to stop in and see for yourself

Always fantastic food. Salads are fresh and innovative. The calamari fried to perfection with a zesty marinara. The pizza is thin and crispy and always perfectly cooked. My kids love the brownie sundae. It is a relaxed family run place with friendly staff and a nice feel.

Terrible service, bad portions make the pretty good food not worth it

Family pizza restaurant at Lee Harrison Center. This place is usually teeming with kids, strollers, and families. It's great if that's what you're looking for... Not so great if you want to hear your table talk.

The pizza is pretty good, service is excellent, and the location is nice bc you can grab dessert or groceries in the same shopping center.

Their pasta dishes are great (haven't tried all though), sandwiches tasty and their pizza is too. Not happy with their salads. Had the Chicken Caesar twice...very disappointing & switched this time to the Chicken and Walnut. Again disappointing. Presentation is everything even with a carry-out....lettuce, lots of lettuce thrown in a clear container sprinkled with cheese, some raisins and some chicken. I myself like to see lettuce at the bottom with all the wonderful topping on top in plain site. You should definitely try them for all their other items.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Awesome for kids. If two adults want a satisfying meal that won t overfill, split one pizza and one salad. They will divide salad orders on two plates. That s the winning combination. The off-menu chicken and walnut salad is spectacular.

Been here many times. Go to family dining Italian restaurant in that it has a lot of children. As for the food, the wood fired pizza crust is great, the toppings are pretty good too. Beer is about average for the area, but there is no happy hour. Salads have been pretty good if your into that.

To be honest I used to go to the one in falls Church city when I worked next door at Starbucks. Then I moved and found out you all closed that location , I actually cried a bit (I as also pregnant with serious craving for the Italian sausage pasta) . Now I am pregnant again and just found out your Arlington location is still open!!!!!! Tears of joy joy joy . That's my destination today with the family! Ed the owner I remember being such a great guy and always so kind to the Starbucks staff and anyone he came in contact with. So glad this location is still alive and kicking!

One of the best pizza places in Arlington. Great soups too. Nice cozy vibe and reasonable prices.
