Their pizza, especially the cracker thin crust is delicious; we had cheese and pepperoni to go and tried their tiramisu, all were super delicious. Their tiramisu is on the super caffeinated side so be aware! Their pizza is delicious! Will definitely have it again

When you're in North Beach, it's your moral imperative to enjoy the best possible pizza. Capo's will transport your taste buds to Chicago, and you will have the most amazing deep dish, authentic Chicago style pizza that you can find in the Bay Area. Everything is made in house, and while they offer a variety of different crust, go for the deep dish! You're here for a good time, so make delicious choices! I love the fact that the pizza dough taste like perfection, and the deep dish pizzas are made in cast-iron. You don't get more authentic than that! There are literally more than a dozen pizzas on the menu, not to mention the rest of the incredible menu, and you can order almost any possible combination that you see. Each one sounds more incredible than next. We went for the burrata pizza. Why?! Because I wanted cheesy, gooey, yumminess, and Capo's truly delivered. This pizza place in the big leagues and after your first bite, you'll see why. The sauce taste like Nonna made it, and combined with. The layered crust, and all of that cheese, it doesn't get better than this. This place is always busy. Always. Don't let that deter you. This is your sign that you need good pizza! The staff is super friendly, but the wait time will feel like it's insane. On the average a deep dish when they aren't busy, takes around 35 minutes. With a crowd, we learned that 45 minutes is closer to reality. I don't mind because they're our adult libations to be had, a great atmosphere, followed by the perfect pizza.

We ordered the "Johnny Torrio" deep-dish pizza, which is loaded with Italian beef, Italian sausage, hot giardiniera, and peppadew peppers. The pizza was excellent; the generous amount of red sauce kept it incredibly flavorful without being dry. The mozzarella was perfectly chewy--not too wet--which really complemented the overall texture. I also loved the peppers, as they added a great spicy kick to the dish. Overall, it's an excellent spot! It's a smaller restaurant and we had a 40-minute wait for the pizza, so I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation to ensure you're seated quickly.

Stop looking, stop reading reviews, and come to Capo. Yeah yeah yeah the pizza was amazing and first rate, but this is north beach... who cares. The ambiance and service here is second to none. Everyone from the host to the busser takes extreme care in making sure their guests are laughing, smiling, and having a grand time. Grace and Rowan changed this experience from great to unforgettable. Grace was so funny and gave us so many wonderful recommendations. Rowan was extremely attentive but not over bearing. Even the busser was cracking jokes. Capo feels like a home, not just a meal. You will not regret spending time here. PS: Not written by AI

What can I say? If you want to feel like you are the most loved at a dinner location then head over to Capos. They treat you and seat you like family. All Pies can be shared, for real, the sizes are insane! You cannot go wrong starting off with a Crisp drink from the bar, which is themed towards high crafted cocktails, and a full bar that specializes in whiskey! For starters, order the garlic bread, 7.5/10 or meatball appetizer 11/10, either way, you will be FULL JUST FROM THE APPS. Moving to entree, if you aren't getting a Detroit style pie, please order the thin cracker crust Margherita!!! It's unmatched, so good! The pizza isn't just pizza, it's beautiful and delicious 11/10 There is no room for dessert ever, but if you eat it family style, anything is possible!

The overall rating for this restaurant is a 4 but the food specifically is closer to a 3 or 3.5! The service was good so that was nice and we like the ambiance that was also a plus. It gave an old school Italian joint vibe like many places in that area, booths, tables bar and arches. We finally decided to try a deep dish pizza after years of saying no, unfortunately its not our thing & not even close to matching NY style pizza or Square pizza bummer. The one thing on the deep dish I enjoyed was the crust it wasn't too thick & had good crispiness/ flavor. Pasta bake was bland and absolutely tasted like something I make at home all the time. It needed less chunky cheese and more finesse. The two apps were good but not super flavorful or stand out. The only thing I really enjoyed was the artichoke dip and that was a bit runny. It was fun trying a different spot but not likely to return.

Spaghetti

Great restaurant! Came on Memorial Day weekend and didn't have to wait in a long line. We ordered the Caesar salad and got the anchovies on the side. I ordered the meatball pasta which was very good the pasta noodles themselves were terrific, and then we ordered the spicy vodka pasta which was also great. The portions are very large so I say you could definitely share because we all ended up eating maybe about half of our meal and then taking the rest home. The plates are a bit pricey, but you are getting a large portion. The inside is very nice. It is a narrow space so it creates a more intimate restaurant atmosphere and the service was great, but if I was coming here again, I would definitely share a plate and be very satisfied.

Great restaurant but limited in non-pork options! We visited Capo's for our friend's birthday dinner, having made a same-week reservation. The interior had a classic vibe with a metal tile ceiling, red leather booths, and a bit of a mafia theme. For drinks, we got a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was solid. We also ordered a Caesar Salad to share, which was phenomenal. Every piece of romaine lettuce was evenly coated in dressing and parmesan cheese. For pizza, I wasn't quite sure what to get. I wanted to branch out from the classic Margherita, but almost every pizza had pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto as a topping. I tried to order the Dillinger (no bacon) in a cast iron pan, but was informed that the crust contains pork lard and only Detroit-style would be an option. The server also did not allow us to make any other modifications, which was fine. The Detroit Style Dillinger was a HUGE meal. I liked the way the flavors came together, especially the marinated chicken and the cream sauce, but Detroit style is just way too much crust for me. I couldn't eat more than one slice! My friends loved their Cracker Thin Little Italy and Cracker Thin Bootlegger, which looked way more manageable. At least we had plenty of leftovers for the following day! They also brought the birthday boy a complimentary Cannoli, which was tasty. Overall, worth the visit, especially if you don't have dietary restrictions!

Best. Deep Dish Pizza. Ever. I have had Capo's bookmarked for years and finally visited for the first time. Walking in Capo's is like being transported to the days of prohibition with Al Capone. An old school speakeasy that is mafia themed, with photos of old mob bosses and well appointed bar & dining areas. There's also seating available outside to enjoy the nice summer weather in North Beach. But how was the food? Old Chicago Deep Dish: the crust at Capo's is the best I've ever had in a deep dish. The meatballs, red sauce mixed with the ricotta was creamy, comforting, and hearty. The combination of textures and flavors made it the best deep dish pizza I've ever had. Thin crust tavern style pizza: crispy, thin crust with a nice thin layer of red sauce and cheese. Nice, light, tasty, and crispy pizza. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Top notch service and it was great to meet Tony. A must eat spot for deep dish and if you are in North Beach.

Lasagne
Alison V.

Despite having a reservation, my time at Capo's felt a little rushed. We were done and dusted in just over an hour. I ordered an Italian soda but I suspect it was just sparkling water with some syrup added to it. The lasagne was quite bright and acidic, with lots of tomato sauce. The chicago style deep dish was the same - similar to Blue Line. If you love that flavor profile, you'll love it here.

Paige G.

Very solid Italian food!! We came here once for pizza and the second time for pastas. Staff were great. They have a good happy hour too which I love! I got the vodka pasta and it was a huge portion. Like this one dish can feed multiple people or provide many meals for leftovers. I think one thing I would prefer is for the vodka pasta to be creamier but I do think it being more tomato based makes it lighter, so depends on what you like. It's a solid spot and I will be back!

Inside decor
Monica G.

Hands down best pizza I've ever had. The service is what made it. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Originally we were told there was a 1.5 wait time. We put our name down just in case and walked around. 45 min later we went back and the hostess noticed me and set a table up for us without hesitation. They don't have a kids menu but I asked if they can somehow make my daughter a cheese pizza, she said absolutely and came back with a kids cheese pizza just for her. Now on to our old Chicago Detroit style pizza...the sauce nothing far from amazing. Not too acidic, not too sweet it was perfection. Toppings were Italian sausage with meatballs and ricotta. Every bite was perfect! Definitely coming back, especially because the staff were so sweet and accommodating. It was worth the wait!

Alexander C.

We've super pigged out here so many times! I can't believe I've never written about Capo's until now. First off the service is amazing. Drinks and timing just hit. Let's get a buzz and order way too much! We're big guys so they put us into a booth/table that was pretty comfy, though a little tight. Our biggest guy sat outside the booth so it worked out! Deep dish is where it's at! So many delicious choices. Instead of being trivial about what to order, we ordered way too much. F that cracker thin BS we went full on, deep dish and cast iron ftw! Gawd so good, but enough for 8 but we 4 so here we are. Meanwhile, Tony Gemigani opened up Slice House here in San Diego. No deep dish but amazing pizza to be had. Thank you Tony! Now bring them deep dishes to San Diego!

Ask the Community - Capo's by Tony Gemignani

Can you pick a premade pizza uncooked from Capo's?

Hello, we don’t offer premade uncooked pizzas at the moment. Take-out and delivery though 3rd party apps are available at 4:30pm when we open. Thank you!

Is your ricotta using pasteurized milk? Also are all the ingredients in your deep dish and cast iron pizza heated to at least 165 degrees like the meats like sausage, bacon and pepperoni? Thanks.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm sure it's perfect.

What is the corkage fee?

Hello, our corkage is $20 per bottle. Thank you.

Do you have a bar so you can just pop in for a drink?

Hi there! Yes, we have a beautiful bar and happy hour from 4:30-6:30pm Wednesday-Sunday :)

Do you guys have a happy hour? If so, when are those hours? Thank you!

Hi Anthony, we have happy hour every day we’re open (Wednesday-Sunday) 4:30-6:30pm. Thank you.

Is the dillinger still on the menu?

It is, however it is not available for takeout or delivery.

How much is the 7 fishes pizza?

That they don't have it this year is crazy! Watched the making of it on TV and seriously contemplated the ridiculous trip from Alberta to San Fran just for that pie! Y'all gotta capitalize on that kinda tv exposure.

Reservation form says deep dish needs to be ordered at least two hours in advance. Does that mean walk-ins can't order deep dish anymore?

Walk-ins can absolutely order deep dish, we just ask reservations to preorder so their meal is quicker, the deep dishes take about 40 minutes to make and we can streamline the seating that way.

Do they have a private room? And if so how many can it hold roughly?

We do not have a separate private room, we do offer private but outs though. You can find the private dining information at sfcapos.com under the reservations tab.

The place to go when you want a good cocktail and feel better understood than your daily horoscope…read more I honestly don't even know how to describe 83 Proof other than you just HAVE to experience it for yourself. My friends stumbled upon this place and loved it so much that they dragged me out of bed to come the following night. They ended up going two nights in a row that weekend. After experiencing it myself, I completely understand why. I'm someone who gravitates toward fruity, refreshing cocktails with interesting flavors, fresh ingredients, and a little creativity. The bartenders here GET IT. I didn't even realize this was known as a whiskey bar because I was so impressed with every drink they made me. The best part is that you don't even need to know what you want. Give the bartenders a few key words of what you're in the mood for, and somehow they'll look at you, work their magic, and come back with a phenomenal cocktail that hits the mark every single time. The bartenders are incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to talk to. Some of their creations pushed me outside my comfort zone, but every drink was a hit. I love being able to hand over the reins and just see what they'll come up with next. The drinks are so smooth and easy to enjoy that ordering another one feels dangerously easy LOL. It's honestly so fun not knowing exactly what you're going to get, especially when the bartenders are this good at understanding your preferences. With a wall full of bottles and so much creativity behind the bar, there's bound to be something you'll love. Unfortunately there's no food served so come ready to drink. It's also just a great place to hang out with friends, catch up, and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed. Seems like there's a lot of regulars that come. The whole experience feels personal rather than just going somewhere to order a cocktail. And the best part? THE PRICES. In an era where cocktails can easily cost 20 bucks a pop, you'll be pleasantly surprised when the check comes. Great drinks, amazing bartenders, and prices that actually make you want to come back? Say less.

This place has been one of my after work/happy hour staples for nearly 20 years. Many memories…read morewere made (and at the same time lost) at this establishment. From the gigantic whiskey selection, to the extremely high ceilings and dimly lit dark decor, the vibe is classy yet accessible to non-connoisseurs. What makes this place awesome is that you get the feeling of sophistication without the pretense of needing to belong. The service is awesome, and the bar staff is patient with folks that are new to the whiskey 'scene'. 83 proof is an awesome little bar that's situated perfectly among the sea of start-ups (and tech giants) in SOMA. Come check it out!!!
