five star review by Stephanie B:

BEST PIZZA EVER. I never used to have a favorite pizza place until I had il Forno. The pizza is incredible. The Buffalo Chicken Pizza is the absolute best. I usually think Buffalo chicken is too hot - but not this one! It's perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Good for eating in or takeout.

Pizza always rocks!!! If you haven't tried the cheesesteak you are missing out. Finish off your meal with the funnel fries, everybody at your table will love'em.
