Food: 4Value: 2Experience: 3.5Overall score: 3.17The Meatballs were very flavorful. It had hints of sweet and a little spicy. They were cooked in a crockpot rather than the woodfire oven so it was very tender. However the most outstanding part of the dish was definitely the sauce. It added much needed flavor to the otherwise bland meatball and also doubled as a dip for pizza crust.The pizzas here were a cut above most other pies I've had. Every single pizza did one thing right - the crust. It was airy, soft, and yet still maintained a small bit of firmness to it when I bit in. We ordered the 3 meat pizza and one pie of 1/2 Mustapha & 1/2 Triana. While the no-sauce pies were not really worth mentioning, the 3 meat pizza was a real winner. The sauce is sweet, spicy, and the meat + cheese provided a nice salty finish to the already flavorful base. Overall the 3 meat pizza was delicious and I would recommend ordering it if you are planning on eating here.The amount you pay is definitely more than the value of what you get, but for something like 'artisanal pizza' it's actually pretty standard fare. Admittedly, while I do see myself considering coming back for the 3 meat pizza in the future, the price tag will most likely curbstomp that craving. The meatball being 9 dollars for just one also does not particularly get me excited to order another in the future.Lastly, our server was super polite and extremely helpful. He heard us talking about which pizza to try and offered to let us do a half and half pizza. Good service all around but the wait had me peg the experience down half a star. I know pizzas take time, but the wait was longer than I anticipated

Finally some good f*cking pizza in the Sacramento area. Came here with my family. The place was a bit hard to find because there's not really a sign on the building, but it was nonetheless pretty packed. The staff was very kind and proactive in getting us a table when there was finally enough room.We ordered appetizers and drinks. The burrata and spinach was excellent. The rosemary bread and olive oil was lovely as well. This place has a relatively broad wine and beer selection.Onto the pizza: You'll probably see some reviews calling the pizza here bland. I can't help but suspect that those reviewers came here expecting American takeout pizza complete with overly processed cheese and meats. That is not what this place is. The menu is simple, the ingredients are simple. If you want American pizza, go somewhere else. The ingredients and simplicity of the menu speak for themselves.The Elisa was excellent. I was quite impressed with the crust, as it has that perfectly thin and rustic crisp consistency. The tomato sauce was simple (as it should be) and delicious. The Mustapha was a little plainer, but the prosciutto was excellent. My father, who doesn't typically like prosciutto, enjoyed it. I did not try the 3 Meats pizza that my father ordered, but he pretty much raved about it the entire ride home.Finally, the desserts. I didn't come to a pizza restaurant expecting that I'd be going nuts over the dessert, but I left surprised. The lemon posset was phenomenal. The flavor of the lemon was perfectly balanced and remarkably smooth. The chocolate pudding was doubly impressive, as it had that perfect dense cocoa flavor characteristic of good quality chocolate. Usually chocolate desserts lean more into the sugar than into the actual chocolate, but this place nailed it. It was rich and dark, reminiscent of a flourless chocolate cake. They are apparently made in-house, which is another plus. The service was excellent and casual. Just a fair warning to those expecting a quiet evening out: It's very loud in the restaurant, and you may have trouble hearing other people at your table. That shouldn't deter you, honestly. Definitely coming back.

The best experience I've had in Sacramento. I wanted to lick my salad bowl. The pizza was exceptional. The service was impeccable (Adam served me). Best part is that they are 5 mins away down my street. 10/10 I will definitely become a regular. Surpassed all other restaurants I've been to here. And the prices are accommodating.

Wood fire goodness.Just around the corner from home, the family and I have been meaning to try this place for a while but haven't had the chance to until a couple weeks ago.We've always heard great things about this place and after our first time there -- i can definitely agree with the reviews.As newbies we decided to get a trifecta of carbs, carbs and more carbs, none that we'd later regret.For starters we had the rosemary bread and dipping oil, it was about what you'd expect, the bread was moist and flavorful.The pizza itself was great, it was the right amount of everything promised -- don't forget to douse it in chili oil.The grand finale was the oatmeal ice cream sandwich with a nice hefty portion of Vic's ice cream in each bite it was a nice way to send us off.Overall, the food was great and delivered as promised. I will say that the prices are about what you'd expect for a downtown/midtown restaurant -- just comes with the territory.4-stars it is, go give it a try!

I'm so glad to live in Land Park and have this amazing neighborhood restaurant in my hood. The pizza and food in general is so well composed in taste and delivery. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I love being able to go during the 'off' hours when it's not packed with people. It's a true gem of a restaurant.

Yummy simple elevated meal. No complaints. Intimate but private atmosphere. Great spot for any occasion.

Come for the pizza and leave amazed! Quality: 5 Value: 3 Service: 5 Ambience: 5 Is it yet another wood-fired pizza place with high prices and unique flavors? Yes. Is it absolutely DELICIOUS and going to make you crave their weird flavors at all hours? Also YES.

Last year I was on a European cruise, and I happened to find myself in Naples, Italy at a restaurant called Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba, which according to Google, is wildly believed to be the world's first pizzeria. There was something so special about having and enjoying a slice of pizza at the world's very first pizzeria, and in the birthplace of pizza. And their pizza was absolutely incredible. There was no getting any more authentic or original than that. Which brings me to my point. Present day -- When I took a bite out of my slice of pizza at Masullo, I was instantly transported back to Italy to the world's first pizzeria. The familiar thin/light/chewy crust, and simple yet great quality ingredients. I think I have found my new favorite pizza spot. Service was an A+. Our waiter was so friendly, and was knowledgeable about the menu. He checked on us periodically to make sure everything was going smoothly, and made sure our glass water bottle was always full. It's pretty spacious inside with a very comfortable simplicity to the design and furnishings and with lots of natural lighting. We ordered two things, the first being the Rosemary bread with olive oil for dipping, and then the Eileen pizza. Rosemary bread with dipping oil (9/10) - it's hard for me to not score high on fresh baked bread with great quality olive oil lol. Bread came out piping hot. Rosemary flavor was perfectly subtle. Our waiter informed us that they get their olive oil locally from somewhere in Woodland, and that it's even available for purchase in the restaurant. After my first bite I immediately asked if I could purchase said olive oil lol. I give the olive oil itself a 10/10. Eileen (pizza) (10/10) - this pizza was absolutely delicious. It's a thin sourdough crust (amazing), with a cream sauce, and topped with mozzarella, crimini mushrooms, bacon, sage, and black pepper. There was literally nothing I didn't like about this pizza, and it makes me super eager to come back right away to try the other pizzas! Also, this has nothing to do with absolutely nothing, but it's next to Ann Phuong Law Offices Lolol.

We had dinner tonite at the restaurant and had a wonderful meal. The food was great but our waiter Ryan was outstanding. . He made our experience exceptional. He was so personable, and friendly and gave us great suggestions! It really made our evening enjoyable!
