on Citysearch Jul 09, 2009I love Virgilio's food. It's a shame that people are allowed to make personal attacks as cowards in a post. I also see the last reviewer gave 5 stars to another pizzeria that is not very good. Virgilio's pizza is the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 16, 2009Virgilio's pizzeria may be the best pizza in the western U.S. The price is fair considering the quality of the moz they use and the other fresh ingrediants. I recently was offered a promotion by my company and I'm a bit... (more)
