About us
It has been many years that the likable Elio and his wife Nina from the province of Avellino close to Naples have opened the doors of Restaurant Elio Pizzeria. We must say that this restaurant is not just a simple pizzeria, Elio and family offer to their North American customers typical Neapolitans Home Style dishes. During all these years, Restaurant Elio has served numerous and faithful customers. When the restaurant first opened in 1964, it had the ability to serve only 18 diners. Today, Elio and family are proud of being able to accommodate more than 700 individuals due to their two reception halls (Buffet Anna Maria). With a gentle smile, Elio and Family wish you a great home style food experience, one you won't surely forget.

Je trouve que les sourires manquent. J'allais à ce restaurant dans les années 80 & l'ambiance était fort agréable. La semaine dernière c'était comme si on les dérangeait. Pas de sourires... Pas de bonjour... Par contre la pizza était bonne.

Bonne cuisine. Portion généreuse & excellent service. Les prix sont très abordables.

First time there but my waiter Phil made me feel like a regular. He suggested the prosuto pizza with buratta that is not on the menu. Calamari & eggplant as entrés & the rest is a party in your mouth. Water gents buzzing around filling your glass. As we left at avout 18h30 on a Friday, regulars were gathered at the door to be seated. If you want & like classic Italian food made & served with passion/care, you cannot go wrong with Elio's. They do thin crust or thicker crust as you wish.

It has been a very long time that I haven't had a bad restaurant experience… But Elio broke the charm :/
Food was ok but not worth it.
We have waited for an hour -no exageration- for our main course. Explanations from the server when we reminded him of… …us waiting; our food came out after the food of the group.
I could understand that type of situation but with a head's up & with a real conflict of orders ; that group had arrived way after us, so we were not happy with the explanations!

We got the Abbondanza & Peppelonata to go. The pizza was super satisfying - smoky, cheesy, & absolutely delicious! The Abbondanza was really meaty & perfect if you love that rich, slightly indulgent flavor.
you'll be full in no time!

Food wise it is not what it used to be. The pizza is bland & uninspired. This place used to be the best pizzeria in town. Unfortunately now the pizza is really nowhere near the Italian standard. Sad to see such an institution of the community arrive to this point. Pizza needs a lot of work.

Magnificent hand made gemelli pasta just wow! Will be traveling from Toronto for more 11/10

The Good:
- Simple & delicious Italian Menu
- Their pizzas has a thicker crust with a nice chew to it
- Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente & the meat sauce had a rich flavor with perfect acidity
Things to Improve:
- The decor is outdated
- Cutlery need to be changed to newer ones
- Waiters can be more attentive

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée tout était délicieux. Heureusement la cuisine ferme plus tard que le reste de restaurats aux alentours. Nous reviendrons sûrment

Delicious food & outstanding service! Our meals arrived perfectly hot & at the same time. The service was flawless, with water promptly refilled without us even needing to ask.

Update for Oct 2025
I agree with those who say that it used to be better - I mean the food quality
My updated grades are 4 stars (used to be 5).
One of the best gourmet experiences I ever had! The Pizza in the name & the location may not sound attractive, but I'm so happy that my airbnb & the reviews got me there.
Git a mix of pasta & pizza & loved it (I was smart enough not to eat too many of the complimentary rolled & butter on the table.
I don't eat meat, so this is definitely a great place for vegetarian, but looking on other people dishes - not only for those.
The got a generous patio, which is great these days.
Highly recommended!

My husband & I were guests at the restaurant last night for a birthday party.
We were greeted by Denzel & he took care of the entire event. He was extremely friendly & polite & very attentive. He made the evening most enjoyable. The food was excellent & the service was fantastic. Kudos to Denzel & Elios!!
