What People Are Saying About Pizzitola's Bar-B-Cue

Nondescript exterior and kitschy decor don't detract from some famously delicious hickory-smoked brisket and Texas-style barbecue.

ribs melt in your mouth
by girlseatmeattoo at Citysearch
Now the outside may be plain but the inside is full of character and satisfied men enjoying their meals..not too many women there but why? I wasnt shy to dig into the ribs and let myself go! They were great and the service was wonderful. We will be back for the brisket..the dark outside is the best seasoned meat ever! It was a fun experience and awesome food followed by simply great homemade dessert!
- Pros: awesome ribs and brisket
- Cons: none!

Wow, what a disappointment
by newtrigger at Citysearch
After having passed by many times and seeing it just packed I was lucky enough (I thought) to be going by there just after opening. It was already busy and the waitstaff were very friendly. I order the rib plate with cole slaw and potato salad. The potato salad was unremarkable as was the cole slaw and the ribs were a bit tough and just not all that impressive. The sauce was different that anything I have had in the past but was actually not a bad experience but would be a staple in my cupboard. Not one to be rude I finished my meal, paid and left disappointed.
- Cons: unremarkable food

BBQ like no other place on earth!
by seamrippstress at Citysearch
BBQ plain and simple! Must try their brisket which is absolutely delicious! Everything is grilled and smoked the old fashioned way over brick pits. They cook and smoke 24hrs a day making the whole neighborhood smell good.
- Pros: hands down best brisket on earth!
- Cons: easy to pass up heading north on shepherd
