Zio's Pizzeria in St Albans

Thank you for a lovely evening celebrating a number of birthdays! The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Vegan cheese an added bonus!!

This pizza is the best in Harpenden. The restaurant is authentic with a warm atmosphere and great service.

Great meal out for 8 at last minute - really accommodating and food was fantastic

Absolutely great atmosphere, beautiful fresh pizza dough and ingredients! We had Calzone and plenty of fillings, best Calzone we’ve ever had! Friendly staff, very helpful and caring!

Lovely evening meal sat in, great staff and tasty food!

Such a lovely restaurant- staff made a fuss of my son on his birthday this week, and great that they cater for dietary requirements. One of the best pizzas with vegan cheese I've had - will be back!

Love this spot. So lovely, I absolutely love the vibe and the decor. Excellent service. Also so close to the station so perfect for just popping in from other spots around Hertfordshire. Good pizza, good wine. Highly recommend.

Love Zios, great service and great pizza!

Great pizza, relaxed and friendly service.

Fantastic venue. Warm, friendly and welcoming staff. Fantastic food, reasonably priced and fast service while allowing us to feel relaxed. They even threw in a tiramisu for my birthday free of charge! We thoroughly recommend this restaurant!!

Lovely restaurant. Great pizza, great staff. A gem of a find.

So lovely - the food was amazing,so fresh and tasty. The service was second to none. The decorations & all round atmosphere just brilliant. Loved the teapot for my green tea. We will be coming back!! Thank you

Best pizza in Hertfordshire and beyond!

Delicious pizza and great service! :)

We had a great meal. Pizzas are amazing.!! Great staff. Service was excellent.

Best pizza in town, delicious parmigiana, authentic pasta... Lovely service. A regular spot for my wife and I.

Very cosy, seated us with short notice. Food was a bit disappointing though. Meatball starter was tough and flavourless. I suspect it was literally just mince rolled into a ball. The antipasti classico starter was great but that was all food that doesnt require cooking or prep. Veeery soggy pizza base. Lastly the special chips were chunky frozen chips which I'd expect truffle grated over for 7.90 per portion. Instead it was advertised as truffle oil which you couldn't taste at all. I would come again but I would expect better the second time.

Really lucky to have this on our doorstep. We enjoyed our starters of calamari and focaccia followed by pesto pasta and pizza!

Best service and delicious pizzas

I need to say a few word about my second experience there. The foccacia, nice! The pasta, withought sauce and not like an italian taste. Also it seemed that it was prep made, even tho we waited for the pasta like half an hour. I mean look at the carbonara, I can do it 10 times more nice and with sauce.

Ordered: Gamberoni piccanti - 5 star Vegetereniana pizza- 4.5 star Linguine pesto con pollo- 5 star Good food, good service, lovely place, best place for the weather.♥️

One of the best Italian meals we have ever had - delicious and the service was spot on.

Fabulous food and atmosphere. That was our second visit and we’ll be returning. The kids said the chocolate cake was the best dessert they’d ever had in a restaurant. Thank you

Always excellent food and service! Thanks so much!

Really good pizza! We will definitely come back :)

The best restraunt in the world

Beautiful restaurant, wonderful food

Excellent meal, and outstanding service. I 100% recommend

Amazing pizza, the food was exceptional. Great wine and a legendary sound track. I will definitely come again.

Really cozy and atmosphere place.Recommend to visit

little cozy place with really great taste of Italian cuisine, meatballs as a starter looked like a main, generous portions, creamy chicken with mushrooms were delicious, will go back for sure

Great service, great food. Very romantic atmosphere. Totally recommend.

one of the best pizza/pasta ever ,thank you

Love this restaurant, stop by all the time!

Really nice service and lovely dinner. The waitress was amazing and she was quite chatty and friendly.

Best, authentic pizza in Harpenden. Lovely atmosphere and very cosy.

Brilliant impromptu birthday meal for our Daughter. Amazing food, great service and they made a real fuss of our young one on her birthday. Thanks and see you again

Great pizza and lovely atmosphere

On this night (Saturday) there was a rather loud group of lads celebrating a birthday and they enjoyed themselves....but you're only young once, right!? On any night this is a comfortable, friendly and (if you need one) romantic venue. Tonight we had all of these with added exuberance. The staff were lovely and their smiles were genuine, the servings were generous and tasty...we really enjoyed the evening.

Great pizza and lovely service from Martina 😊

A gorgeous little spot for delicious pizza and more, great spot and vibe lovely staff

Lovely evening, great pizza and fantastic service.

One of my all time favourite restaurants. Fair prices and absolutely lovely food. A really homely cozy environment to eat in. Loved the decorations too!!

Brilliant meal, lovely atmosphere and great service. We needed to be quick to get to the theatre and they made sure we were finished on time.

Fantastico - great fresh food , comfortable seating , warm & friendly staff . Definitely dining at Zio’s again .

Great local Italian. Always busy and nice atmosphere. Friendly service . Good food

Brilliant food and Giovanni’s tricks were amazing!!!

Amazing service, good food and stunning atmosphere

I had the best food, their pasta is the best and their pizza is tasty. The decor and overall atmosphere of the restaurant is 10/10 and one of the reasons I keep coming back.

Lovely family dinner. Friendly staff and food was great. Who knew the waiter was also a magician :-).

Fantastic pizza lunch with my daughter. Clearly best pizza in the area. Judging by my daughter licking the bowl after the ice cream is really good as well!

Amazing wood fired pizza. Delicious calamari.

Went on a weekday night so was not hugely busy. Food did take some time but was decent. Waitress was very polite and helpful. Decent selection of pizzas and Italian dishes and pizzas made in a proper wood fired pizza oven too. Calzone was very decent.

A really enjoyable pizza, authentic and fresh. Lovely service whenever I go to collect them to takeaway to! A little gem!

A wonderful midweek lunch, very quiet but delicious food and friendly staff - thank you Zios!

A real gem of a restaurant! Very authentic Italian restaurant - the decor is beautiful, the food was very fresh and absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. Very, very impressed - we will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Make sure you book as the restaurant is very small, proper Napolitano pizza

Amazing pizza great service would highly recommend

The loveliest food and our server Giovanni was perfect. My new spot for sure!

The food had a great taste, amazing atmosphere and location

Food was amazing, Darcey the waitress really looked after us, Highly recommended !

Lovely food & ambience. Authentic oven based pizzas - brilliant

Perfect. Absolutely perfect. The BEST pizza we've ever had!

Enjoyed a lovely meal here! Music was live, food was tasty and staff were friendly. Special mention to Millie who was very attentive😊

Always excellent service and food. If you want an authentic Italian pizza, this is the place to come. Hidden gem in Harpenden.

Very beautiful place and the food was amazing and delicious !! The service was so kind and friendly.

Great food and the service was above and beyond, with a lot of banter

One of the best Pizzas in UK , the dough is so perfect ( alla napoletana ) , light and so delicious. I strongly recommend ! Must try if you nearby.

Delicious rustic pizzas in a lovely setting. Staff very attentive.

Great wood fired pizza's, lovely small restaurant with nice wooden decor.

Lovely authentic pizza with friendly service.

Absolutely love the pizza and pasta here.

Kindly found a table for us on a busy and fully booked night. Good pizza and quick service.

Came here for a Father’s Day meal, first time for two of us out of the four of us. We had an amazing meal and the service was fantastic. Our server was really interactive with us - doing magic tricks and keeping us entertained! The food was really tasty, we all got pizzas and had antipasto for the starter to share and we loved it. Would definitely return, good value for money and good location.

Very delicious Italian pizza. This is the only place I go now whenever I crave for pizzas and it never disappoints. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with beautiful interiors. If you're there, try the tartuffo pistachio for dessert. 100% would recommend!

Lovely warm staff with quality fresh and reasonably priced food

5* service and delicious food! Lovely decor and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely little place and delicious stone baked pizza 👌

Delicious food. Clean, nice, and cosy place. Great service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's intimate, it's eclectic, but wow, what amazing pizzas! maybe no more than 25 covers and personally it's a pizzeria so order pizza and I promise that what you get is as close to what you'll get in north Italy as possible. Yum- Yum, can't wait o go back.

Our first visit was wonderful. Good food good service. I will definitely come back.

The pizza was extraordinary. Thank you Teo Gertler from Slovakia

Thank you to Darcy for looking after us!

Beautiful authentic food in lovely atmosphere

Sadly Disappointed. Despite this being open for almost two years I'd never managed to get there. And I won't be back in a rush. Why not? Well, we were given a table for 90 minutes, which should have been fine but everything was just too slow. First ask for drinks order was about 15 minutes. Starters.. the calamari was good although lukewarm.. parmagiana was hot and good. Main courses were almost an hour after we arrived, and weren't as ordered. When I pointed this out, there was an indifferent shrug. The calzone was somewhat undercooked. We left it under a napkin as by now we had decided we would finish, pay, and leave. When we asked for for a set of cutlery and some chilli oil (two sets of cutlery delivered for three people) the waitress walked straight past the chilli oil and reappeared literally about 3 minutes later with a knife and fork and said "oh you've got some chilli oil". I'd gone and got it myself. There was no table check at any point. When the waitress was clearing our starters she asked if we wanted the dessert menu. And the icing on the cake was an incorrect bill where we were charged for a bottle of prosecco when we'd had a bottle of rose. What a shame. What a disappointment. First time in a long time we've left a zero service charge/tip/gratuity. In a town with a choice of (Italian) restaurants I think they need to do better.

Amazing home made Italian food.

Won't be back in a rush. Service not good, food not right, over charged bill. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to going there.

Really lovely food. Pizza is amazing, cooked in a proper wood oven. Mille was really kind and brilliant!

A perfect lovely place, come in off the cuff, staff are friendly and the food was perfect.

Excellent. First visit but what a treat!

Went for an impromptu dinner out and Zio’s did not disappoint! The starters were fresh and a very decent size portion. The mains came out promptly and were absolutely delicious. So light but filling. We finished off our dinner with three massive profiteroles that were hard to finish. Everything was fab. The house red wine was really nice and the espresso was velvety smooth. 10/10 from us.
