We had dinner at this pizzeria one evening and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pizzas. The dough, thin and crispy, was perfectly cooked, with a texture that was both soft in the center and slightly golden on the edges.🤗 The ingredients were fresh and tasty, with a particular emphasis on the quality of the products, which was felt from the first bite.😋We also appreciated the warm and relaxed atmosphere of the place, as well as the welcoming service. An excellent address for lovers of authentic and well-prepared pizza 🍕!

I just had one of the best pizza experiences in Balgowlah, thanks to Joe and his amazing team at Cielo Pizza. Wife and I placed an order for 3 pizzas and a pasta take away, which was delicious around the family table! Joe threw in a bottle of wine for free (after our Baby arrives) 🤩 thanks Joe!

The owner is an old bold guy who is annoying and screaming all the time. Worst place ever. Feel sad for all the workers there who had to live that hell everyday and for all the poor delivery drivers who come waste their time for the old guy to tell them to leave. FAKE ITALIAN

My sons and I always stop here and eat in when we feel like treating ourselves. The pizza is first class and SO much better than any of the normal competitors. We like eating in because it's small and cosy, and there is often another family or two in doing the same. I will be back time and time again! The owner was not in tonight but his staff were just as good (don't tell him I said that). 😀 Try the greek salad with your meal, it's really good.

Really poor pizza. Home delivery. Very burnt crust on all three pizzas. Lamb no flavour and way too much cheese. All three soggy in the middle. These pizzas don’t travel well. Owner can’t take criticism and blames me for ordering home delivery. Everyone else can deliver a hot pizza. He’s the one that burnt it, not the delivery company. What a piece of work. Photos don’t lie. 🤮

Unpretentious pizzeria. Simple. Good. Good homie vibe. Friendly staff. Diavola was hot, maybe too much, but that's a personal taste. Capricciosa was good too. Give this place a shot 🤙

One of, if not, the most delicious pizza I have ever had. Service was exceptional by an owner and his staff. The owner even provided a complimentary wine and Lemoncello. A delightful man - very personable and generous.

We had so much fun dining in with the owner at the table next to us! Our two boys were so spoilt, commenting “this is the best dinner ever”. We had to agree… the food was delicious, the pizza light and the salad so fresh and full of flavour! Definitely worth a visit or an order online, you won’t be disappointed

Order two pizzas. Got made quickly and picked up in 15 mins on a Monday night. Got home and one was not the ordered pizza. Called back and either they don't speak English or they deliberately tried to avoid conversation. Not a great experience. Shame as the pizza was actually quite tasty.

Best pizza & people in the northern beaches! We get dinner from here every week and absolutely needed to for our son’s bday party. Joe, the owner, knew we needed it as soon as he opened, so made sure himself that everything was perfect. And it was! 100% would recommend. Thanks again Joe & team!

Joe makes amazing pizzas and pastas, the dough and toppings are exceptional. He is a great host and makes you feel at home in his restaurant. Pizzas were that good we came back the next night and ordered takeaway. Definitely worth a visit if you are up this way, we will back for more pizza.

The delivery was incredibly late, and when the pizza finally arrived, it was cold. The cheese seemed like it had been sitting out for too long, resulting in a rubbery texture. The sauce was overly sweet, and the overall experience was far from what I expected from a pizza shop. I wouldn't

If you’re looking for a genuine Italian pizza with a great Italian atmosphere Cielo Pizza is your place! We were driving back from the beach and thought we would pop in for a pizza… we were so happy we did! Best pizza we’ve ever had! The owner/manager was also pretty sweet to put on my son’s favourite show to give us a little break. We can’t wait to return… even though we live an hour away…worth the drive!

My journey with friends at Cielo Pizzeria was nothing short of extraordinary. The pizzas were a testament to the artistry and passion of the Pizzaiolo "Joe", delivering a symphony of flavours that will linger in my memory for a long time. The pizzas featured great combinations that showcased a deep understanding of flavour pairings. The Pizza is light & does not give you that bloated feeling after the third slice, as a matter of fact we didn't realise how much we were eating. If you're a pizza connoisseur seeking an unparalleled gastronomic experience, Cielo Pizzeria is an absolute must-visit.

I went there at 4.25 pm to order a pizza and they told me sorry the oven is not ready yet, so why you open at 4 pm for? Last note why I have to hear thay music in a pizza shop?

Dropped in on a Sunday afternoon. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Joe the owner is a great guy! I also noticed he spoke to multiple other customers in their language. Nice touch. I could see how happy they were with the whole experience. As were we! Food was so delicious. Pasta and Pizza very impressive. I recommend this place to everyone. We will be back for sure! Top marks!!

Highly recommended✨. We traveled from CBD to Balgowlah because we knew the place, and as always, it has been a great experience. Joe welcomed us very kindly from the moment we entered. We ordered the Prosciutto pizza, undoubtedly the best I've tried in Sydney. For chocolate lovers, I recommend the Nutella Calzone🇮🇹 a true delight, an otherworldly dessert. Joe generously shared an excellent wine and delicious Limonchello with us. Without a doubt, visiting this place is a fantastic experience⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On Saturday night we had a wonderful family dinner at Cielo Pizza, having never been there before but meaning to as it is well known in the area for being fabulous. I can definitely confirm that Joe (the owner) and his team make the most delicious, authentic pizzas in Sydney. The restaurant has a great family vibe and the staff were lovely and friendly. We will absolutely go back and can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you for such a wonderful night! Six stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
