Pizzeria Sofia draws a broad mix of opinions, with many guests praising the pizza and pasta as consistently delicious and well presented, along with a warm, festive atmosphere and attentive service when crowds aren’t overwhelming. Frequent favorites include classics like Insalata Cesare and various seafood pastas, and gluten-free options have earned praise from some, though there are cautions about cross-contamination and guests with celiac disease. Prices are repeatedly noted as high, especially for drinks and wine, and water is often charged separately, which irritates several diners. Noise levels are a common complaint when the restaurant is busy, sometimes making conversation difficult, while service speed and attentiveness vary by night and staff, occasionally leading to disappointed experiences, particularly on busy weekends or with reservations mishandled. Overall, Pizzeria Sofia is seen as a stylish, wine-and-pizza destination ideal for date nights and group dinners, but potential visitors should expect higher prices, be prepared for a lively ambiance, and consider booking in advance.
Great pizza! However, the owners believe it to be normal to offer no free water when seated. They prefer to ask staff to offer bottled water & charge customers. Very wrong & possibly not legal..
Very few pizza options & even less options of pizza for vegetarians. The options they gave you is to take out the meat & charge you extra for more vegetables. They don't offer tap water... You have to pay for bottled water even if you drink other stuff. & the price of drinks... over the roof. The pizza were good but the sides were burned to charcoal for one of the pizzas. The staff was great & the decor was stylish. My recommendation: Just walk over Pizza 900 it's close by.

Pizza & Pasta are amazing. However, the service was Awful!! With a reservation, we waited 15 minutes at the door to get seated. Don't forget to bring water bottles since they charge for water & don't serve tap water!
This is the best Italian pizza you will find outside of Italy, ive been looking for years for REAL italian pizza, this is it. Crust, sauce, toppings 10/10.
My family & I hosted a baby shower here. Service & food deserve 5 stars. We loved the lamb chops, black truffle Mac n cheese, pizzas & the burrata salad. Everything was served hot & packed with plenty of flavor. Definitely recommend adding their chili crunch to the pizzas. The pizza ovens are huge here & each pizza had the perfect crispy crunch. When you enter there's plenty of indoor seating & a large bar. I loved the high ceilings & open kitchen concept. Upstairs is reserved for private events & there was a nice outdoor patio. Highly recommend coming here for some quality Italian.

This restaurant is so good & better than Moretti in my opinion. They are vegan friendly & have excellent food. The prices are decent for the quality of the food. The place looks nice & the service is good.
One word to describe them: Greedy. Firstly they don't provide any tap water & want you to buy a $7 water bottle. Secondly, the old man at the bar is totally unfriendly, looks like he hates his job because he is underpaid. Service takes a very very long time. The only reason people still go there because nearby restaurants are either closed or full.
