Pizza Restaurant In - Lincoln, CA – NOT OPEN COMING SOON

Authentic Wood-Fired Pizza – Il Pizzaiolo

For over a decade, we’ve been serving up true Naples-style pizza—made entirely in-house using traditional methods and flour imported straight from Italy. Now, we’re proud to fire up the ovens in Lincoln.

Il Pizzaiolo is the brainchild of Brooklyn-born Peter Lostritto, with family roots tracing back to Naples and Bari, Italy. That heritage is in every single pie we bake. Everything starts with the dough. We mix it fresh and let it slow-ferment for 48 to 72 hours. From there, the pies go straight into an 800° wood-fired oven for about 90 seconds. The result is what true Neapolitan pizza should be: a soft center, a beautifully blistered crust, and a light char.

What You’ll Find At Il Pizzaiolo In Lincoln

True Neapolitan & Detroit-Style Pies We don’t hide our dough under heavy toppings; we let the crust speak for itself. Whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout, our Lincoln menu features everything you’ve come to expect from our kitchens:

• Wood-Fired Pizzas (Rossa & Bianca): From a classic Margherita to the Prosciutto and Arugula-topped Napoli.

• Detroit Pan Pizzas: Thick, pillowy crusts with caramelized cheese edges—try the Detroit Carnivore or the hot-honey-infused Sfincione.

• Italian Sandwiches & Calzones: Made on toasted, housemade focaccia.

• Pastas & Sides: Spaghetti marinara, fresh salads, and our hand-rolled meatballs in sauce.

• Desserts: Traditional cannolis, gelato, and our housemade tiramisu.

The Craft Shows Every Day We’ve spent the last 11 years perfecting this craft, gathering thousands of positive reviews and ranking as a top-ten pizzeria in the Sacramento area along the way. We bring that same standard to Lincoln. Clean ingredients, balanced flavors, and a technique that puts the crust first.

We are open Tuesday through Saturday starting at 11:30 AM (closed Sunday and Monday). Come grab a table, order a Peroni, and taste the difference of honest, wood-fired pizza.
