I love pizza with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Capricio's is close to the top of my list of favorite pizza. (Not the very top. No, that honor is reserved for a little pizza place named Sal's in Denton, Maryland, which closed down a few years ago but remains forever etched on my tastebuds.) The service at Capricio's is friendly and efficient. The lady who answered phones, managed payments, served foods, and bussed tables was quite pleasant despite being super busy with customers and take-out orders. We ordered way too much food: pizza, fried ravioli, chicken wings, fries, and more. The fried ravioli was just okay and the wings were solidly average. The fries needed salted, but I was grateful they were not seasoned/battered. Nothing came out at the same time, but everything came out piping hot. Now, I'm the kind of person who will get up in the middle of a meal to microwave my food, so I appreciated the food being served to us straight from the fryer. In a more formal setting gathered with more formal people, I would have preferred our meals to arrive at the table simultaneously. But for a casual family dinner where we're all just strapping on our feed bags, dishing it out HOT as it gets done from the kitchen was total awesomeness. Capricio's pizza was fantastic. The crust was the perfect combination of chewy and crisp. I could have made a meal from crusts alone. The sauce was flavorful with a hint of sweetness, and the cheese was ample without being overloaded. The mushrooms were canned, but there was a ton of them. (Note: Both Big Daddy and Kid #1 felt more cheese was needed, but myself and Kid #2 thought the amount of cheese was perfect.) My only complaint: The place could use a deep cleaning, including dusting the blinds and wiping the windows. I definitely plan to get another pizza from Capricio's as soon as possible. read more

Looking on Yelp for a place to eat tonight and this place had the highest ratings for Italian in the area. When you pull up to the place it looks like a little sub or pizza shop and not where you would be going for a great Italian meal, but it is a truly authentic Italian restaurant. When you walk in, it looks like you would have to go to the counter and order, but the Italian Goddess that was working asked if we were for dine-in and told us we could sit anywhere we would like. They have both booth and table seating. We chose a table by the window. We got our menus, paper tri-fold, and all ordered water for drinks. Did not look to see if they offered wine or beer, but they do have coke products on the fountain. There was no rush to order as we were busy chatting. I asked if there was a specialty that our waitress recommended and she suggested the Lobster Ravioli in a creamy pink sauce. We asked where that was on the menu and she let us know that it was not on the menu, but it was a specialty of her uncles. Well, I have learned a long time ago to always go with the recommendation if it sounds good. We all ordered the Lobster Ravioli in a creamy pink sauce, all dinners are served with a salad and garlic knots. We asked to have an appetizer of garlic knots and calamari with a marinara sauce. The garlic knots are homemade and terrific and the calamari was fresh and a perfect texture. Both appetizers came out at the same time and the order of garlic knots was double as they included the ones with the meal, which was perfect for our group. The Garlic knots were perfect with a semi-hard outer skin and a soft interior and were so hot to start, you had to cut them and eat with a fork. Our house salad was a nice size and the house dressing was an excellent choice and full of flavor. They were not overly busy and did not start our main course until we were close to finishing with our salads. The Lobster Ravioli in the creamy red sauce was delicious and cooked perfectly, with 6 large ravioli on the plate stuffed with a generous portion of lobster. I had to cut into 4 pieces to eat and could not finish all of them, I only eat 4 out of 6. If you are able to visit, I would suggest asking if the lobster ravioli is available. Of course, no Italian meal is complete without dessert, which is made in-house and the Tiramisu is a must-have choice. It was true tiramisu which should be creamy and not overbearing in expresso flavor, but a perfect balance. Also, we shared a chocolate-covered Cannoli that had the most flavorful filling and crisp but not overdone shell. So if you find yourself in Lancaster, PA area, this is a must-stop place to dine. read more

Went with a few teammates after practice. We were all starving and it was 30 minutes before close. We were served and welcomed despite the late hour. Joe was SO FRIENDLY and we had some lovely conversation over DELICIOUS PIZZA. The tomato sauce is fresh and flavorful as well as the crust being charred but soft and pillowy. We also had buttery cheesy garlic knots and a refreshing Greek salad. Truly such an amazing experience and will be coming back many MANY times!!! Can't say enough good things, try it for yourself!!! read more

Fantastic experience, staff was friendly, cheesesteak was good, bbq chicken pizza was delicious and huge for a personal size pizza.

Best pizza hands down in the Lancaster and Berks area. Actually best pizza i ever had in America. The dough is perfect and the people there are nice and generous. If you ever want pizza please come here and do not waste your money on fast food pizza or any other sloppy slices in the area. This place is the winner! read more

We got carry out - one thin crust cheese and one pan pizza. The prices were reasonable and the pizzas were average. They really could have used more salt in both and the pan pizza was a bit soggy from too many wet toppings. read more

Went in today for a late lunch. They had pepperoni and sausage ready so I got two slices of that. Nothing has changed, still some of the best pizza I have ever had. The crust is thin and crisp, stands straight out when you hold a slice. The flavor is great, plenty of toppings and tasty. Served by the slice, a really enjoyable lunch. read more

Top 3 mom & pop Italian restaurant I have ever been to. No full table service and you need to order at the counter. It is so worth it tho. The pasta dishes and pizzas are all very good. For the same prices you pay at a national pizza chain, you can have some real Italian food here. read more

This review is based on our first-time dinner take home order. Definitely more like a 4 1/2 star meal than a simple 4 star. First I must comment on the staff. My granddaughter has picked up Door Dash orders from here prior to our placing our own order and she says that the service and personnel are always beyond friendly, making her feel very welcomed in their establishment. Now on to our food. We ordered fried mushrooms, fried ravioli, and pierogis as appetizers. The mushrooms were juicy, with a delicious crispy coating. The ravioli and pierogis were cooked perfectly. The portions were generous too. The stars of the show were our main courses. An order of spaghetti with sausage was enormous, easily divided into 3 meals once a side order of (3 golf ball sized) meatballs was added to the dish. As for the sausage (sliced thin like pepperoni), every time I thought I had found all the pieces, my fork would pull up several more. There is a little heat to the sausage, but not overpowering. The sauce, which was plentiful, was fresh tasting and absolutely delicious. Lasagna was the other main course. My granddaughter loved it. Her only tiny complaint is that she would have liked more cheese on it. She is a huge cheese lover. Final mention is the salad and garlic knots that come with the main courses. The salad is a winner with large slices of cucumber and plenty of tomatoes. The star here is those garlic knots. I am often disappointed in garlic knots or garlic bread that I order because of the timid use of the garlic and/or the butter. This is not a problem here. The knots have a crispy exterior, but a soft interior that screams garlic. I'll order extra of them the next time. One final note... the prices are amazing. You get more than your money's worth here. 2nd Review: If you will notice, I have changed my review from 4 1/2 to 5 stars. The reason is simple. We have visited twice more since our first visit and each visit has been even better than the last. A second shout out to the staff of this wonderful place. They go above and beyond in customer satisfaction. With our second visit, they were out of the fried ravioli ordered online. To make up for it, they gave my granddaughter not one but two other appetizers (bruschetta & fried mushrooms ) that she thoroughly enjoyed. With our third order, I made a special request online for 'heavy on the butter and garlic' for the garlic knots. That is exactly what I got and I loved every bite. Items we got for the second visit consisted of 2 personal sized pizzas (build your own and Hawaiian), eggplant parmesan, and pasta salad as well as some repeats of the first visit. For the third visit we got a veal parmesan, chicken parmesan, and an American burger with repeats of some items again. Once again, the prices are amazing, especially when you see the portion size which we easily make 2 and sometimes 3 meals from. The pizzas are as large as what most places would call a medium sized pizza and the crust was both chewy and soft... Delicious. The toppings were generous too. The spaghetti and sauce that comes with the parmesan meals are a meal unto themselves. Best of all is just how rich these sauces are. They are loaded with flavor. But now a special word about the hamburger. I have never had one better or quite like it before. Rather than a round patty with a round bun, this came as a long, very thick patty on a tender soft hoagie or french roll. It was beyond delicious and again was 2 servings, not one. Capricios has now taken over the #1 spot for our Italian cuisine meals in the future. We can hardly wait to try other options on the menu. Bon Appetit! read more

AMAZING stuffed spaghetti pizza and cheese steak pizza. The quality of the ingredients is unmatched. Better yet, the service was outstanding. HIGHLY recommend and will be coming back!! read more

We discovered this gem tonight. The owner Joe and his daughter we so welcoming and friendly. The food was awesome! Absolutely delicious. The rolls, the best ever! What a find! We loved this place. read more

Food is excellent. Eggplant Parmesan sub was awesome. Crispy fried eggplant with fresh mozzarella on crusty bread with tomatoes and roasted red peppers. The Veal Parmesan was excellent as well with a side of spaghetti, garlic knots and fresh salad with homemade dressing. You have to order at the counter and the food is brought to the table. They have a lot of takeouts. Very friendly staff. read more

Small and quiet. - we were looking for a local non-chain place to eat. This is the perfect place - Fabulous food

This place was so good we came back two days in a row! The pizza was phenomenal and so was the salad. We also had the garlic knots which were delicious with their homemade sauce. The workers/owners were so sweet and accommodated our little one with a smaller order of pasta. We won't forget this place next time we're back in town! read more

To start off, this is a pizza place, but does have a seating area. You order at the counter. The food is very good. Our party had two. Two of us had chicken parm dinners. Both people really enjoyed their meals. Comes with side of spaghetti and garlic knots. And it was a large portion. The other two in our party had a chicken Ceasars wrap and pizza. Again both enjoyed their meals. The pizza is very good. If we lived in the area we would definitely go back all the time. And the owner/cook and the young girl at the counter are very friendly. The owner stopped over during our meal to ask how our dinners were. Also the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

Friendly personal service and hot, fresh, made-to-order food. What more could we have asked for?! I got a slice of meat lover's pizza and my partner got a calzone. Both were great. I'd come back here in a heartbeat! read more

We ordered at 8:45 pm and they never delivered our food. We waited for an hour and 20 minutes. Nobody answered the phone that was supposed to handle the issue. Very disappointing. read more

Excellent food made by actual Italians. We had individual pizzas with personalized toppings. The crust was super yummy. My daughter had classic spaghetti and meatballs. She's very picky about meatballs and loved these. Small older diner vibe. We really appreciated that this place was open on Sunday as almost everything is closed in the area. Highly recommend. read more

We don't have New York style pizza back home, so anytime I get some I've very thankful! This wasn't the best New York style I've had, but it was still really tasty! Unfortunately I took the pizza "to go" and waited a bit to eat it, so I probably didn't get it at it's best either. I'd still go back! read more

Great spot! Good local italian food. Disclaimer: I haven't tried the pizza. I've only had the sandwiches, pasta, and strombolis. Big fan.

Wow! That's all I can say. I got the ham and cheese calzone (large) and it was amazing! My wife got the the chicken bruschetta and it was also good. For dessert we had a cannoli and the lemon cake both of which were just wow! Very much worth a visit. The food is authentic and some of the best Italian I've ever had. Service was amazing also. Friendly staff and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Great atmosphere. read more

Great, fresh pizza! Awesome service. Enjoyed meeting owner and talking with him and hearing his incredible story. Really special place!

If I were to be a superhero, it would be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Not because my body is round (although I am kinda spherical in shape), but because I love pizza. I adore pizza way more than a middle-aged person should love a food that's pretty much the primary meal of frat boys and toddlers. My love of pizza is partially responsible for my spherical shape. So when visiting Lancaster County, I had to try this pizza joint because of the 5-star reviews. I wasn't disappointed. The pizza was delicious. The crust was crispy on the outside with just the right amount of chewiness. The sauce was neither too acidic or too sweet. (I would've preferred a bit more sauce, but that's just personal taste.) There was ample cheese, and the seasoning was tasty! We also had the steak stromboli, which was very good, too. Our server was pleasant and efficient. The restaurant was clean. We didn't get any of the personal attention from the owner that other reviewers mentioned, but the food was worth the visit and the price was reasonable. read more

Capricio's - Medium Cheese Pizza. With the steak stromboli, it was large enough to feed 4 people with plenty of leftovers for breakfast. - Pizza Near Me - Smoketown, Pennsylvania

Do yourself a favor and stop here for a slice of pizza, a calzone, chicken parm, or any other traditional Italian dish you can think of. I can't tell you how many horrible and mediocre pizza joints my family went through during the few months when Capricio's closed to move from it's former spot on Route 30 to the new Smoketown location. We're just so happy they're open again! There are tons of choices, so I come here frequently for lunch, and I've been really pleased with everything I've tried. The pizza is definitely one of my favorites - big, thin slices that remind me of some of my favorite pizza places in New York. They come with every topping imaginable - the typical Italian toppings and more modern American combos. The white pizza is incredible, as is the Caprico (tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil). Other common lunch options include the chicken bacon ranch, buffalo chicken, and Hawaiian. (That's right, with pineapple. Deal with it. And get a side of garlic or pepperoni knots knots.) I've been slowly trying other menu items, but when you walk in and see all those pizzas at the counter, fresh out of the oven, its hard to pass them by. However, the calzones, chicken parm, and cheesesteaks are definitely worth checking out, but bring your appetite - these are healthy servings at reasonable prices. Joe, his family, and his growing staff are all incredibly friendly - warm and welcoming to everyone who comes through the door. I've never had to wait long to order or to receive my food, and I've never had a bad experience. The parking out front is limited and can be kind of tight, but it's worth squeezing in and circling back if need be. Once you step through that door and smell all the wonderfulness beyond, you'll agree. read more

We arrived to our hotel on a Friday night and were tired from our busy day, so we simply wanted to order pizza. We found this place online and it was close to our hotel. The online ordering was easy and the menu was extensive. We ordered a meat lovers pan pizza, a lasagna pizza and some garlic knots. My husband went to pick up the pizza because it was a little quicker. The pizza was picked up and it was hot and ready when he arrived. The pan pizza was interesting. It had very little toppings, and it was a very thick crust, but overall the flavor was good. The garlic knots were basic, but had good flavor. Our favorite thing, however, was the lasagna pizza. It was AMAZING! I wish we would have just gotten two of them. It was a different combination for us, but we loved it! We would order from here again, simply for the lasagna pizza! read more

We were in town for a family reunion. I promised my family that they would have the best pizza experience this week. We moved to the West and have not had great pizza since. Today we did! The server was so professional and friendly. We had a variety of pizzas, Stromboli, and fettuccine Alfredo. All were outstanding in flavor. The crust is hand tossed and delicious! read more

Capricio's is on Airport Drive, adjacent to the Smoketown Airport and across the Old Philadelphia Pike from the Cowtown barn. Joe, the owner, waited on us. He is friendly as can be and really hustled to prepare our pizza. We had a medium sized "meat lover's"... MIGHTY GOOD! There were lots of customers at other tables as well as a steady stream of customers coming and going with "carry out" orders. Prices are extremely reasonable, too! On the basis of our tasty pizza we're willing to bet that EVERYTHING at Capricio's is MIGHTY GOOD. If we lived here year 'round we'd be regular customers. As it is, whenever we're in Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania, we'll be stopping at Capricio's!! read more

Pizza was great and it was a lot for our large group. Delivered when expected and with all the extras we requested.

The pizza that I ordered, was $16.95 with five toppings. They rang me up $17.95I He was very rude, I noticed that he over charged meWhen I brought it to their attention the woman was very rude to me and canceled my order. I will be contacting weights and measures read more

Capricio's - They overcharged and wouldn't honor the menu price. I will be contacting weights and measures - Pizza Near Me - Smoketown, Pennsylvania

We ordered via grub hub. The grub hub app did not work. You will have better success with Uber eats. We actually had to go pick up our food. The pizza was pretty tasty. We also ordered a meatball parm which was tasty. The people inside are really nice. They were concerned with our issues with ordering through grub hub and asked if they can help in any possible. read more

this place was down the road from where we were staying. saw the good reviews and had to try it. WOW. the food was so good! i got the spaghetti with lemon shrimp and my grandma got a chicken and broccoli dish. we both loved it. definitely a hidden gem. can't wait to go again. read more

Went on a Saturday around 4:30ish for dinner. It was really nice food and a great atmosphere. They didn't have any music playing; which was nice. Sometimes restaurant music is too loud you can't even talk to who you're sitting with. Our food came out pretty soon after it was ordered. It was very delicious. It was also really nicely priced! Our waitress was very kind and answered any questions we had about the menu items. The bread and pizza we ordered wasn't served with plates; which was a little difficult for eating pizza. We had to wait to ask for plates when the waitress came back to check on us after eating most of our meal. When we received our check, we waited around for a good bit of time. We weren't aware if we were supposed to wait for the waitress to come get it or if we were to go to the front and pay. After waiting awhile for our waitress, we got up and paid at the front. The pizza was really good and reminded me of Grotto's pizza. Overall it was a nice place to have a early dinner! read more

A group of 9 of my family ate here while we were in town for a visit to Lancaster. There is not a lot of dining-in space and the tables are packed very closely together. We squeezed into two tables that were next to each other. It's an order at the counter and they bring the food to you type of service. We had pizza, calzone, and pasta alfredo between the table. The large pizza and the calzone were huge and the bowl of pasta was equally large. We enjoyed the food very much. The workers were not that friendly and seemed put out by requests like having ice in the fountain soda machine or when asked for extra plates, or to-go boxes. I definitely would not eat in again because of their attitude but I would be happy to get take out. read more

The food was tasteless. The pizza was bland, my toddler didn't even want to eat it. The sub rolls were soggy even though they served the mayo on the side. The fries were good but were unsalted with didn't bother me but others didn't like it. The delivery was on time but the delivery person was very rude because their gps took them next door and argued with me about my address and said next time they will leave it next door. Over all not impressed and won't waste my time ordering from here again. read more
