It’s a small restaurant but the food and service is excellent . Had the chicken wings which are made in the pizza oven - superb (not the frozen fried types) the pizzas also very good . They make both the bar pie and the napolitana . Such small restaurants should be supported and encouraged.

Hands down one of the best pizzas my boyfriend and I have ever had (and trust me we are foodies). Everyone is so friendly and service was great. We started with the phyllis salad which was great and got the fra divalo and Margherita pizza. Both were out of this world and beyond delicious. We also had to split the tiramisu which was to die for. We got into a conversation with the owner and staff about the restaurants history. Such a beautiful story and family dynamic. Will definitely be coming back.

Came here for the first time with my husband for dinner and absolutely loved it! The pizza was delicious - light, flavorful, and perfectly made. Service was fast and incredibly attentive; our pizzas arrived just a few minutes after ordering. The place itself is cozy and inviting. We had the Hot Julia and the special of the day, and both were fantastic. We’ll definitely be back!

I went to Emilio’s Wood Fire Pizza right after a Pokémon Go event, and the experience was amazing from the start. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and seated right away. We ordered two pies a pepperoni and a cheese and both were fresh, hot, and delicious. The owner’s mom even came over, told us she also plays Pokémon Go, and gave us some cute little Pokémon magnets, which made the visit extra special. The restaurant has a very welcoming, family friendly atmosphere, and it’s definitely kid-friendly with fun touches like the magnets. I’ll be coming back soon to try the wings, like I promised them!

Emilio’s is a true community gem. It’s a family-run spot, and you can feel it right away – everyone in the family is working together, which adds a nice personal touch to the whole experience. There’s a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back. The pizzas are very good, with a creative selection that goes beyond the usual options. They’re a little larger than your typical Neapolitan style, which means the crust edges can be tricky to pick up without flopping over – but the flavors and quality more than make up for it. The toppings are fresh, and the combinations are well thought out. We also tried the meatballs, which were good. The meat was of good quality, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.
