Figlio Wood-Fired Pizza

Figlio Wood-Fired Pizza "Pizza and pasta heaven otherwise known as Figlio" - The Columbus Dispatch Figlio Wood Fired Pizza was founded in 1991 by Peter and Laurie Danis. Food and wine.

Peter and Laurie first met at Ohio State University’s College of Law. Their courtship centered around cooking meals at Peter’s apartment before hitting the law books each night. Little did they know that they would eventually trade their law books for cookbooks and find happiness in the kitchen rather than the courtroom. Peter and Laurie graduated from law school and practiced law for a number of

years. On the evening of the birth of their first child, they decided to leave their successful legal careers to open a gourmet pizza/pasta restaurant in Columbus. Their decision was driven by a desire to experience the same passion and excitement on a daily basis as they felt that evening. For the next two years, they traveled throughout North America pursuing the art of gourmet pizza making. Their research included course work at the Natural Foods Cookery School in New York City. In November of 1991, they opened the first Figlio Wood Fired Pizza in Columbus and it was an overnight success. In 1996 Peter and Laurie opened their second location of Figlio Wood Fired Pizza in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington, which has been used as a prototype for additional restaurant development. Their newest Figlio location opened in Dayton in the fall of 2003. Figlio has consistently been named as one of the top ten restaurants by the Columbus Dispatch. Additionally, the Zagat Survey publication named Figlio Wood Fired Pizza as the top gourmet pizza in Columbus. Peter, Laurie and their staff have been featured as the cover story in the August 1992 and September 1999 editions of the international trade publication Pizza Today. Peter and Laurie’s passion for food and wine continued with the opening of Vinovino, a restaurant/winebar located next to the original Figlio in Grandview. Wine and food. And the two shall become one.....Peter and Laurie look forward to seeing you at Figlio or Vinovino tonight!

There’s something special about recipes that carry a little history. ❤️🍓

This strawberry shortcake is based on a recipe from my mother’s old wooden recipe box, featuring a sweetened buttermilk drop biscuit, fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and a vibrant strawberry sauce.

And the secret ingredient? A smile from Antonio, whose positive energy brightens up our prep kitchen. ✨

Watch the process and see how we bring this special dessert to life.

A summer special—enjoy it while you can! 🍓☀️

✨ Looking for a little magic in your life? We’ve cooked up two seasonal features that are bringing a little extra sparkle to every table. These creations are full of flavor and are sure to make your summer dining experience memorable.

🍕 Summer Chicken “Razzle-Dazzle” Pizza
One of our chefs made this pizza for our staff lunch the other day. He practically received a standing ovation! An olive oil brushed crust with tomato/corn salsa, grilled chicken and white Vermont cheddar. It’s the garnish of chopped avocado & the drizzle of basil pesto crème fraiche that gives it the razzle dazzle.

🍝 Asparagus Carbonara Pasta
Linguine in a spicy garlic cream parmesan sauce with steamed asparagus spears, roma tomatoes and chopped Italian capicola ham. One of our very best customers, Phil, drives in from Springfield with his wife whenever we feature this pasta!

✨ Don't let the magic disappear—available in Dayton through July 20th! ⏳

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

If you're feeling a little worn out after the holiday weekend, we get it. After all the grilling, hosting, traveling, and celebrating, you deserve a night off.

This week, skip the cooking, the dishes, and the "What's for dinner?" debate. At Figlio, you'll find great food, friendly faces, and the perfect place to unwind.

So come in, get comfortable, and let us take care of the rest.

Your table is ready. ✨🍽️❤️

A special pizza inspired by a special day! Our Total Eclipse of The Heart. Torn prosciutto, potatoes, white cheddar an charred red onions finished with sriracha aoili sauce to kick up the heat. And how fun is the "sun"! No special glasses needed to eat it (except maybe w**e glasses?!) Served through Monday, April 8th -- and not again until 2044!

The time has come for us to move on to new opportunities and make room for the redevelopment of the Golden Bear Center in Upper Arlington!
We will serve our last order of Chicken Diablo in Arlington on July 29th. After that, you'll need to reserve a table in Grandview or Kettering to get your fix!
You enhanced our lives in many ways and gave us the opportunity to work with such a great staff for 28 years. (Many of our staff will be transferring to our Grandview location!)
Great food, great service, great memories!
Thank you for being part of the Figlio Family!
