Authentic Wood-Fired Pizza & Italian Cuisine in Nantucket

Founded in 2001, Pi Pizzeria has been dedicated to preserving traditional Neapolitan pizza-making techniques while incorporating our own unique touches. Our commitment to authenticity begins with fresh ingredients: dough made daily, imported San Marzano tomatoes for our scratch-made sauce, and whole milk mozzarella grated fresh each day. The pizzas are cooked at 900 degrees in Nantucket's only commercial wood-fired oven, ensuring a perfect balance of char and flavor.

We emphasize local and seasonal ingredients in our nightly dinner additions, reflecting our deep connection to the island community. Our intimate dining room and lively Italian-inspired bar create an atmosphere where guests can enjoy both our culinary offerings and the warmth of shared experiences. With over two decades of experience, we continue to refine our craft while maintaining the traditional values that define our approach to Italian cuisine.

Being from NYC good pizza is hard to find outside of the city. Very good pizza, cool vibe, small portions for the money $$$$, ordered take out two pasta dishes 1 pizza $80+. Midtown prices you'd expect bread with your meal fellas. I will say their Ragu was delicious meatballs weren't bad.

Food was fine, a bit bland and pedestrian, but service was poor. Nice enough but completely inattentive. Took a half an hour to get get drinks, another half hour to get appetizers (upon request). Others served and gone while we sat and waited. No checking in on the table. Comped desert to climb back into favor which was an appreciated gesture. Maybe it was just an off night, but not a great dining experience.

I love pi!! The pizzas are so delicately made. The sauce is amazing, and the crust is crispy. They do not put too much cheese, but I
also love the "marinara" red pie. The salads are fine but not the best. The staff is helpful and friendly. I also love the Italian atmosphere. We have ordered pizza, pasta, and dessert here year after year and it is always delicious!!
