Inspection summary

Local Pizzaiolo has been inspected 2 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since March 10, 2026. The most recent inspection, on March 31, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.

None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 5 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pests, Food temperature control and Cleaning and sanitizing.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 31, 2026. For example: The premises is free of pests.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on March 10, 2026. For example: Potentially hazardous food is at a refrigerated temperature that keeps it safe to eat.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on March 10, 2026. For example: All equipment, food contact surfaces, utensils, dishes & glasses used on the premises are washed and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on March 10, 2026. For example: Operator of a food service establishment has approved written procedures to ensure the safe and sanitary operation of the establishment.

    We recently hired Local Pizzaiolo for the second time, and they once again exceeded our expectations. The service was superb from start to finish. The pizza and appetizers were absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. Carlo is incredibly nice and very accommodating, even with our last-minute changes. His staff was also friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. It’s clear they take pride in providing great service and quality food. Highly recommended!

    We had Local Pizzaiolo for our wedding dinner in July 2026 and this was one of our favourite decisions we made for our event. From start to finish, Carlo and his team were lovely to work with, communication was clear and prompt, they were able to accommodate for changing numbers and dietary needs, and it was incredibly low stress/fuss for us. On the day of the event they arrived on time and were fully self-sufficient! They prepare the pizza on the spot which our guests loved and the quality of the food was 10/10!! Such delicious pizza & appetizers and the quantity was perfect. Could not recommend this business enough.

    Last year on April 20th we had Pizzaiolo cater my wedding Everyone absolutely LOVED them!! The food was absolutely incredible, they were clean and efficient and very well priced to top it off. I couldn’t say enough good things about them They were very accommodating and allowed me to choose a couple extra flavours for the menu. They also brought gluten free bases for my guests with celiac The side dishes almost stole the show! The arancini and truffle fries kept flying off the table and my friends and family just loved it. These guys were so friendly and so fun and they kept making pizza after pizza! I’m so grateful to them for lending a hand in such a good memory and for feeding us amazing food and keeping my guests full! I highly recommend them as caterers I still dream about it to this day and my only regret is that i didn’t get to eat more!! 😁

    I saw so many phenomenal reviews about this place so I was really excited to try it! Unfortunately, I did not have a similar experience. I ordered the “Spicy Devil” pizza, which had absolutely no spice to it at all. The crust was awful, it was so hard to chew that it actually hurt my jaw to eat it. And lastly, the salami on my pizza had a strange grey colour to it, which is a good indicator that the meat they used was not fresh… and the taste reflected that as well. If you’re looking for top quality pizza, I would recommend Wild Flour in Burnaby or Spacca Napoli in Port Moody instead.

    Carlo and his team catered my wedding last weekend at the UBC Botanical Garden, and I couldn't be happier with their service. From the first time I inquired, Carlo was extremely kind, polite and professional. We stopped by the restaurant and they kindly hosted us for a tasting. Of course everything was delicious and we knew it would be such a fun idea to serve at the wedding. We were on a tight budget and the catering price is extremely reasonable. My communication with Carlo leading up to the event was pleasant, and the event itself went off without a hitch. The guests LOVED the pizza - everything tasted great. The staff were nice. The pop-up tent with the mini ovens on-site is really cool since guests get to watch them cook, and know that they are fresh from the oven. Carlo met a few of my requests like providing gluten-free pizza crusts, and bringing pizza boxes for extra pizzas to leave with us after we determined that my guest count had dipped below the minimum amount needed to book. THANK YOU - I'm so glad I found you guys, thank you for helping to make my wedding so special :)
