Fodor's Review:

Festive rainbow lighting fills the spacious dining room of Piola, which has 20 restaurants around the world. But it couldn't feel less like a chain, as it bursts with character and Italian-Brazilian bonhomie. The entire kitchen staff was trained in Treviso, and the menu lists 60 thin-crust pizzas, from a simple tomato-mozzarella-Parmesan-arugula to the Brooklyn, which features broccoli, chicken, and Gorgonzola cheese. There are some fine pastas and salads as well, and delicious profiteroles for dessert. It's the perfect place to slake those late-night hunger pangs: Piola is open until 1 am Friday and Saturday and open until midnight all other nights.
