Business Description from the Web
Il Vicino Pizzeria is a restaurant that serves guests Italian. Expect the average entrée to cost under $8.
Authentic Italian homeland style pizza served fresh and hot.
The gourmet pizzas at Il Vicino are baked in a European-style wood-fired oven.

The Margarita pizza is a classic. The spinach salad with pine nuts and red bell peppers are killer! The sandwiches are a huge portion and come with a side salad. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The place is always packed and the service is excellent. You can split a pizza and salad for under $20 for 2 people.

Even ex-New Yorkers agree that the pizza here is so worth a visit you shouldn't miss it when visiting Albequerque. If for some reason you are not a pizza lover, they also serve good salads and an excellent lasagna. However, do give the pizza a try, you will be happy you did!
Great prices and very child friendly atmosphere. The pizza is good and the salads are really great especially the spinach salad. The beer is made in town. The quantity of food is huge, we shared a calzone which was fabulous. The root beer they make is a favorite with my kids. Service is friendly.
