This might be one of the best wood oven pizzas Ive ever had! The crust is light and airy, the cheese and sauce are both seasoned. The spicy oil is the perfect level of spice even for me who can’t handle spicy things. I would definitely come again whenever I’m in ABQ! The service and prices were both great as well.

Stopped by here because my husband wanted some pizza… I wasn’t even hungry. But the eggplant panini caught my eye and I thought, well, I’ll try it. SO GLAD I DID! That was probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the bread perfectly toasted yet chewy, and everything was SO fresh! I’m embarrassed to say I ate the whole thing! They serve it with a little side salad that was dressed with a delicious vinegar tasting creamy Italian…. Perfection!
Oh yeah - my husband got a pizza and it was great too… but that sandwich…. Will be back soon!

I am shocked that this was only $11. I ordered the "trufalino" pizza and it was so delicious. I'm usually scared to order mushrooms at a pizza place cuz sometimes they use old rotten ones and it's gross. But these were very fresh and tasted great. I also really love that they give you chili oil and REAL PARMESAN on the side, cuz I love a bit of spicy on everything. The prices are great for the quality you get. And the crust is good too. Good vegetarian options.

This place was decent. Prices were reasonable, easy paid street parking right in front, and the staff was great. They have a nice menu, and the atmosphere is very nice inside. The Penne Alfredo was great, but it seems it didn’t agree with my stomach. No big deal, we enjoyed our meals!

Damn good pizza here. Awesome staff and cool atmosphere. Will definitely come back. Food is quick and portions are pretty fair for the price. Only thing is the crust is too much dough. So you get less toppings.

Friendly stuff and best selection of the desserts 🤤 I already missed your Tiramisu.
I went there for our lil date night. Quality of the pizza is awesome and price is not bad at all 😎
The restaurant has smaller capacity. I don't know if they accept the reservation but I will double check with them.
I wish they have a mild taste white wine.
Will be visiting soon👍

Long time staple. Good is always on point. Modern classic. A trip down memory lane for my sweetheart and I. The 7 inch personal pizzas are PERFECT! 🍕

We just moved here and we are so happy to have come across this place! We’ve officially found our new fav spot!
We dined in and got 3 different pizzas and a glass of wine (Cab, from CA - DELICIOUS btw). All pizzas tasted great, but out of the 3, the veggie was was the absolute best and most flavorful! It has artichoke and I believe is Alfredo based, but it is to die for! I am excited to go back and try more!
All of the staff were friendly and attentive. You can tell just by being inside that this is a well run place. We really felt taken care of here!

Oh my gosh, where do I begin?! Super cute place. Very well decorated. We chose a "build your own pizza" with pepperoni, sausage and green chile. The pizzas are 10" so they are about 6 slices, enough for 2 adults. We ordered bread as well which was served with marinara sauce (5 pieces of bread, wish it was more). Pizza came out and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had!!! They don't have ranch but our server recommended their creamy parmesan sauce. WHOA! SUPER GOOD! They have a spicy oil on the table which is a MUST TRY! The oil was good with our bread as well as putting on the pizza. Our cannoli's came out after we finished eating and those were perfect too! Service was great. Food was delicious. I cannot wait to go back to Albuquerque to eat here again. I see now why they have wonderful reviews =D Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

We really enjoy going to this great little place right near campus. The pizzas are always hot and fresh with a fantastic crust and the staff is the friendliest group of people you're likely to find anywhere.

Last time...I did pickup. They were ready 5 min early. The hot food was hot & the cold food kept cold. Cannot ask for more than that...well, it tasted great, too. Get the chocolate silk cake.

Great first date spot at any location. Not pricey and the wait staff doesn't care how many first dates I take there. Lmao. Great spot for family first date or even to bring your children. Westside one is more modern. Central location has more of route 66 nob hill vibe to it.

If you want one of the best wood oven pizzas ever, try Il Vicino. We had the Testarossa and the Motorino. Such a lovely place for pizza, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! The 7in small is a perfect size, but if you're extra hungry, get a 10in. Their spicy oil is very tasty as well and perfect for the crust or as a drizzle on top. It's reminiscent of good chorizo spices. The tiramisu is divine, but it's a large portion, so you can share it.

Fantastic food and service. Really neat atmosphere.

I’ve enjoyed Il Vicino many times by Uber Eats especially during the Covid days. This is the second time coming to the restaurant many years later after the first time. The place is nice a cozy with a very friendly staff. They have Canteen brewery beers on tap which are great beers btw. I had the Calzone and my friend had a pizza both were delicious. When it comes to pizza in Albuquerque, this place is one of the best pizzerias to go to.

Busy place because people love it. The guy begins is in line was there just for their “homemade” rootbeer. Not, they will not take your order until there is a place for your party to be seated.
We chose this place because of the fantastic reviews of their pizza (which were all true). They also have other Italian items on the menu including many salads. I may try some on my next trip here.
Also, bring kid friendly-they bring out some of their dough for the little ones—to help keep them busy and in a good mood—excellent idea—-worked to perfection.
Super friendly staff. Very attentive, but not intrusive. You will love this place

Well this evening I decided it was time to grab some Italian food so I did a search and found that IL VICINO (Italian for “The Nearby/The Near) was nearby! The reviews seemed very positive so I ventured out and although being Sicilian I rarely try and eat Italian out, I was pleasantly surprised. No one can compare to one’s mothers sauce but it was tasty in the style it was made in. I ordered a vegetarian calzone and to see if this place was legit, a cannoli! The food I did enjoy, my only criticism was that the dessert came out before the main meal. The ingredients in the calzone were fresh and it was well made with a proper thin crust surrounding the filling. The diners at the table next to me invited me to try the Olio Picante, a chile infused oil and it was great on the calzone! The cannoli was properly made with the filling piped in when ordered and presented, thereby insuring a crispy and not soggy shell! The cheese filling was nicely sweetened and the chocolate sauce over the middle was a nice addition. Enjoyed both the food, great service and casual atmosphere! Don’t miss this one when in Albuquerque!
