Isabella's Oven: One Great Pizza on a Saturday Night
Excellent pizza! I work in the Lower East Side and for my money it doesnt get any better. The place is run by a great family and the cook is from Naples. It does not get any better! Prices are very reasonable and service is quick. Overall A+

Pupster, I'm so sorry you had mediocre pizza at Isabella's. Adam K. and I also had lousy pizza there two weekends ago. We posted about it on our pizza tour post. The good pie man, Luigi, has gone back to Italy. The current pieman is nothing special, as you and I found out recently.

Sounds like pizzaiolo (pizza maker) issues to me...the hardest piece of a pizzeria. Pretty much have to do it yourself if you want to be as close to perection as possible.

Lousy. We had expectations after the rave from Levine. Now I know his opinion can't be trusted. We ordered multiple pizzas, and there were serious issues with crust and sauce. Ingredients were just so-so. On par with any neighborhood slice joints. Not even close to being among the top 10 in the city..

Must say, I'm a little surprised with the raving reviews... food was ok, but not great, and way overpriced. We ordered two pasta dishes and both came to the table appetizer-sized. The pizza was tasty, but the crust was soggy. I don't care how good it is, who wants soggy-crusted pizza? The service was mediocre. Our waitress was not very knowledgeable on what was AVAILABLE on the menu (turned out they were out of four items we wanted to order). We received a large attitude when we asked for change (by the way, it's cash only) and and even larger attitude when we caught a mistake on the check. Overall, the food was good but I would not return... with the money we spent we could have gone to a much better restaurant with better service and ambience. They have a lot of work to do in order to stick around for the long haul.

Have to disagree. I went for lunch yesterday with my mother who lives nearby. What we got was a re-heated crust with nearly nothing on it. For $21! The waitress said the day pizza maker was a different person. I'm never going back.

ate there tonight (7/24). it was a beautiful night. i was surprised to see the terrace was pretty empty around 8 pm. the ambiance of the terrace isn't quite as nice as described by others, but it is still nice to be outside. quite honestly, i don't know where people will sit once it gets cold. i didn't notice a lot of indoor seating. regarding the food, the house salad was fine...pretty pedestrian. the olives were tasty. but, the pizza was very, very good. i ordered a margharita DOC and it was top notch. highly recommended.

Gotta hand it to you Ed. Comparable to Una Pizza Napoletana. Love the outdoor patio. My daughter and I loved the Margharita DOC too.
