“ Loved their pizza! Reasonably priced for the size and quality. Very friendly stuff and quick service. Definitely will go back. ”
“ We celebrated my nephew's birthday at Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza in Albuquerque Heights, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a large party of 12 and arrived 15 minutes early, but they seated us promptly. The ordering process was efficient, with each party ordering separately at the front. Our family of five shared a delicious cheese pizza, salmon salad, and a specialty pizza with Alfredo sauce. The house wine was a great value, but I opted for the more expensive glass at 10, which was well worth it. Our family in the party also tried the lasagna, salad, panini, and tiramisu from the rest of the family's orders, and everything was top-notch. We also got complimentary birthday dessert! It was very nice! What truly made our experience stand out was our server, Grigori. He mentioned it was his first day, but you'd never know. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided exceptional service! I highly recommend Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza for special family events, date nights, or simply a delicious dinner out. We can't wait to come back! ”
“ More than 5 stars for service! We forgot to request "dressing-on-the-the-side" when we ordered our salad, so we asked someone later and they got the request in for us. Everyone was pleasant and they were attentive to refills. ”
“ This is a staple go to in my household. The pizzas are delicious and so many options. My current favorite is just a classic pep and cheese. My usual order is the hero sandwich though and a salad. It's great for sharing. They even have a fun dough ball they give kids to play with while you wait for your food. Would definitely recommend for families or friends ”
“ First time at this location, and was thrilled with the experience here! The staff here were SUPER fantastic and so welcoming and warm. All around great time here thanks to the staff! Food was fantastic, and when I ordered extra cheese on the pizza, they actually delivered unlike most places. The spicy oil “Olio Picante” is amazing, and super flavorful as always. Seating was plentiful, and you could chose anywhere to sit, like the other locations. Enjoyed this location a lot, and will be back! ”
“ Great experience, good place for a casual sit down lunch date meal. We had: Rustica, Campagnola pizzas and the Burrata, Caesar salads. Try the basil lemonade. Totally worth the Louisiana and Montgomery traffic! ”
“ Their HOUSE SALAD is the best in town. LOVE this ABQ icon. Their food is just totally delicious! Their service is fantastic. There may be a wait during the evenings. ”
“ Food was amazing they were very friendly and had amazing service. A bit different experience compared to other places but I would come again! Everything tasted fresh as well! ”
