Maialina Pizzeria Napoletana opened in early 2013 born out of an obsession with wood-fired Naples style pizza and the beauty and art of handmade pasta. Italian food and wine is steeped in tradition and history and in the love of place. The centerpiece of our kitchen is our oven, imported from Italy made from refractory cotto brick which cooks pizzas at 900 degrees. We stretch our mozzarella by hand, obsess daily about our dough and make it with a starter we’ve had since we opened. We studied at one of three Vera Pizza Napoletana certified schools in the world to learn how to preserve the traditional Naples style techniques. During the summer our magical piazza-style patio overflows with growing basil, tomatoes, herbs, corkscrew willow trees planted in wine barrels, and the laughs of friends. Our local farmers, ranchers, growers make what we do possible. We believe in the history and tradition of local agriculture and local, healthy food. Which is why our eggs, pork, beef, and many weekly hand truckloads of produce comes from straight from Moscow area family farms. We know our farmers. We’ve been to their farms. We love what they do for our community and we see it as a great honor to prepare and serve these lovely things to you, so we can all share in tradition and love of place.
“We just moved to Moscow and have been trying different restaurants for our date nights. We really enjoyed our food. We had both the specials. Mine was so delicious; the shrimp linguine and my husband had the gnocchi. But our experience was amplified by Amanda. I had read some yelp reviews mentioning her and was so excited when she was our server. She was a rock star. She was so knowledgeable and helpful and checked on us the perfect amount. We can’t wait to go back.”
“Amazing dinner as always!!!!! We got pasta tonight and the shrimp scampi dinner special was delicious, so good that the camera definitely didn’t eat first. Our server, Brook, helped me pick out a great wine, and was so so nice. It was my first time having the soup and it will become a regular order. Can’t wait until next time!!”
“Got in there first thing on a Sunday (11am) ordered first before 2 other tables. Food was delivered fast to the table, by a food runner. The dough is flavorful and crispy. Had to remind the waiter about a refill. We had a toddler with us so we were hoping to be in and out and we were out of there in about 45 minutes. Highly recommend. Higher priced, but well worth the price. When we're back in town we will definitely visit again for the pasta, salad etc.”
“This restaurant was a great surprise in the little town of Moscow Idaho. My Sister and Brother in law took me here, as it is their favorite restaurant in town, and actually they live in Pullman WA so they drive a short distance to come here for date nights. I love the atmosphere and they have a great menu. The spinach artichoke dip was sooooooo delicious. It honestly was my favorite dish of the night. The bread that accompanied it was lightly salted and drizzled in olive oil which made it all the more delicious! The pizzas were tasty and creative. My favorite pizza was the smoked salmon. The salmon was perfection! The pizza was delicious. I did feel that it was under seasoned and could have used some fresh elements like fresh dill or another fresh herb, but it was still delicious. We also had the Spicy Sausage Potato pizza and that one needed a little work, but was also still tasty. It was also under seasoned and needed a little extra cheese, but the spicy sausage was phenomenal, and actually spicy which I really appreciated! The beet salad was delicious and I loved the vinaigrette they used for it. It really complimented the earthiness of the beets. The tiramisu was absolutely Divine! So moist and well balanced! Do not leave Maialina without trying it! All and all Miailina was a great experience. The staff is awesome and very attentive. I will definitely be going back to try some more of their dishes. I especially look forward to trying some of their pasta dishes! I should note that if there were different eating options other than whole numbers, I would give Maialina a 4.5 out of 5.”
“Great selection of wood fired pizzas. The toppings are requisite. Go on your EXACT birthday for a free pizza of your choosing! My go to is the Dolce Verde with the roasted grapes, leeks, and arugula (cream base!). The service we had on this particular night was pretty slow and inattentive to the refills of our water. Sat outside and we had to go in after 20 minutes to find someone to come take our order. Waitress was nice but was unsure of the drinks for someone in our party. She thought one thing but it was another and we taught her about caffeine in certain drinks. Spacious inside and outside and dog-friendly on the patio. Love that it’s on a corner too. A bit on the pricier side, but it’s a fancy pizza place.”
