About Folino's Pizza

Folino's Pizza creates Vermont Artisan Pizza, voted the best in the state for 4 years in a row. We specialize in naturally leavened, sourdough pizza. All our components are made from scratch from our sauce to our sausage to our ranch. We pride ourselves using high quality ingredients on our hand stretched dough. We offer a small and precise menu with a few additions to our pizza like fresh salads and appetizers.
