I had Ciao Down at the new Oro Valley locaction that just opened! We were greeted by friendly staff, the restaurant is small and inviting. There are also tables outside, which offer a beautiful mountain view! The pizza is consistent with the original location on Dodge and Ft. Lowell, AMAZING, best pizza, hands down. I also had to try a cookie from Treat by Ciao Down, it was perfect. I am a cookie snob, and when I say this cookie was the perfect level of softness.. I mean it. It is very apparent that they take their desserts very seriously and I'm here for it! To top it all off... I love that this restaurant is locally owned by a family who grew up in the area and are now raising their own family in the area. Love the sense of community! read more

I've been to Ciao Down twice in the prior two weeks... Holy shmoly their pizza excellent!!! This is indeed artisanal pizza... beginning with the amazing crust. It has just a bit of crunch, then the chewiness, then the incredible flavors of your pizza take over and all three that I've tried I would definitely recommend. The Margarita Pizza was as perfect as could be, but wowzer, the fig and prosciutto pizza was a huge hit... and the Bella, mushroom and sausage and other good stuff I cannot recall, was my favorite, but I would never turn down any of the three. The folks working there were all very friendly, the facility itself, though small, was comfortable and conveniently located next to the Tucson Hop Shop, which I escaped to for a little beer while my pizzas were in the oven. This is a TEN STAR pizza place, no exaggeration. It's now also my favorite pizza place, which understates how much I love it. If you're a fan of artisanal pizza, you won't be disappointed with Ciao Down. Most highly recommended!!' read more

Ciao Down - Margharota and fig & prosciutto pizzas!!! (Tummy says "YEA!!!") - Food Trucks Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Absolutely love the pickle pizza!! Oh and the olive salad is the perfect ap with a cold beer.

One of our "go-to" comfort food places. Now I know it's a unique flavor, but do yourself a favor and get the "big dill." So light, savory and satisfying. read more

Oh my God this place is amazing! It's really small but there is a patio shared by the whole plaza to sit and enjoy your treat. I got the whiskey caramel gelato and a vegan raspberry cookie. Both were phenomenal. My husband got got half peaches and cream, half s'mores gelato and the peach one has REAL peach pieces in it! So fresh and refreshing. The strawberry gelato is also very fresh and not super sweet which I'd prefer for fruit gelato. They have giant homemade cookies and crispy treats and also macaroons! Super moist cake slices, brownies this place has it all and I am just so impressed! read more

I LOVE this pizza place. They have a food truck and now a little restraunt as well. The pizza is consistently great and I dare say the best pizza I've ever had. Customer service is on point, they greeted us as we walked in and the guy taking our order helped talk my son through what he wanted snd cleared our dishes right away. My son just got a kids cheese pizza, which was super cheesey it came with ranch and a brownie. I got one of their special salads arugula and apple. And my favorite the snakebite pizza. Their new little shop is cozy, a few seats at a bar and then also some tables outside. They are in the same plaza as a brewery and they will serve and deliver your pizza to you in there as well. Totally okay for kids, dogs amd also could be a fun date night or night out with the hop shop next door. read more

Yummy gluten free pizza to eat on the patio with your beer from the Hop Shop, which is where you are sitting when you eat it at the place. Parking is a bit limited at busy times but the neighbors don't seem to mind street parking. read more

Ciao Down's Big Dill pizza is out of this world! The garlic sauce, paired with the dill pickles, and mozzarella cheese is the perfect combination. This pizza is what I'm always excited to share with my friends and family who like to try new things! Their service is always quick and I appreciate that you can eat your food next door at Hop Shop if you'd like to dine in. Can't recommend Ciao Down enough! read more

The BBQ Jackfruit vegan pizza on gluten free dough was such a perfect selection of flavors it might be one of my favorite pizzas I have ever had. However, my pizza was missing the vegan mozzarella! Even without the cheese the pizza was incredible. I also ordered a gluten free, vegan margherita pizza, and was served a pepperoni pizza with regular cheese, which I didn't discover until later, because I asked for that one to go. I was definitely sad I couldn't eat the pizza I ordered for next day's lunch, but was so happy with the BBQ Jackfruit, the offering of gluten free crust, and the vegan specific menu, I'm still giving four stars. Ciao Down is connected to Tucson Hop Shop, and the seating area is shared. I loved the cozy atmosphere, but getting past the crowds around the standing tables was slightly awkward. All in all, highly recommend this spot! read more

This is a new place in Oro Valley. Things are currently in a state of disorganization. You don't know whether to go up to the counter and place an order or sit at a table and wait for service. After waiting about ten minutes I got up and walked up to the counter . A young man took my order and I paid the bill. No receipt. The machine was not working I was told. I then went back to my table. No water ,no set ups, no service. After returning to the counter I was told the waitress was very busy. Other tables had water and set ups. Finally after going back twice more our food arrived. The sauce was ice cold. The waitress took the plate with sauce back and came back ten minutes later with a plate that was literally smoking. The sauce was still not hot. The poor waitress tried to be accommodating but the place needs real management. Food and ambience were decent. read more

So much fun. Great food and service and ambience. So much fun to see cyclists hang their bikes, order pizza and drinks. Lovely outside venue. Parking is difficult. read more

THANK YOU... for not charging more for gluten free crust. It really adds up constantly having to pay for upcharges. We ended up getting all GF crusts for my family, since half of us now have sensitivities to gluten. I will say, I was slightly disappointed, I thought they still made a hand tossed gluten free crust... but it seems like they use the standard gf crust most places use. We got the snake bite, meatball (but came with sausage to stay gf), Hawaiian, and tres amigos. Wow, the snake bite packed some serious heat, had to take off some of the jalapeños and the heat still lingered. I was eyeing the spicy pepperoni pizza, happy I didn't get it cause I probably wouldn't have been able to handle it. I really like their sauces. And they do have a very good unique fun combinations. We would probably go a lot more regularly if it was closer to us on the East side. We will be back, we will try more... read more

Was a pleasant surprise to see some non traditional pizza toppings on their menu. They were patient with us as we perused their menu, especially the ones under "Adventure Pizzas". They all sounded pretty good, IMO, and it was tough to pick just one. Fortunately, they do half and halfs which made life a tiny bit easier. We ordered half Legendary Snake Bite and half Burning Up Nashville. The Snake Bite had an episode transition of flavors; from sweet (raspberry chipotle jam), to creamy (cream cheese), and ended with spice (jalapeño). The Nashville was also good in its own way. The pickle and parsley drizzle did not overpower the other flavors. The pizza was not soggy or overly cooked and the dough was tasty enough on its own to where I didn't need any sauce to dip my crust in. I'd order these again, but after having the chance at giving the other "Adventure Pizzas" a try. This pizza spot is located in a shared area with Tucson Hop Shop. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are welcome to chill with you outdoors too, while you enjoy a a cold brewhaha and wait for your pie to be delivered to you. It has a nice ambience and a vintage vibe corner. read more

When we first showed up, we weren't sure if we were in the right spot (we were). First off, it was the cutest and coolest little hang out spot I've ever been in! Then when we got to the register, the guy taking our order was so nice and friendly! The pizza was delicious, we (and our toddler) loved it! We will definitely be back!! read more

Excellent pizza and wonderful and inviting spot. Staff was great! Had the Snakebite and The whole Shebang.

Great pizza, great atmosphere! I absolutely love the creative pizza toppings, especially on the snakebite pizza.

Love the pizza here! The gluten free crusts are no extra charge! We ordered the Whole Shebang and the Tres Amigos and both were awesome! There isn't a ton of indoor seating so if it's busy you might have to sit outside, but not too big of a deal. The outdoor area is has a good vibe. Will definitely be back again. read more

The best pizza hands down! I ordered a half and half. One half being the Big Dill and the other being the rattlesnake (I hope I got that correct). I have been dreaming of the pizza since I've left! We ordered our food and headed over to Hop Shop and they delivered our food to us! read more

The pickle pizza has won my heart! I love artisan pizzas and pickles, but together?! WOW! Easily one of my favorites. It is a very small shop, but love that they will bring your order to you while enjoying a drink next door at Tucson Hop Shop. Friendly staff and easy yet fun menu to order off of. It's only been about a week or so since I've had the pickle pizza, but I've thought about it every day so I'm taking that as a sign to go back for more. read more

We really wanted to love this pizza. Ordered tres amigos and Bella toscana. They were both extremely dry, as if there was no sauce on either. The pepperoni and sausage were very salty. Maybe it's because it was a busy day, but I will never come back to this. read more

Incredible service, quality & price! We were hoping to enjoy Ciao Down while sipping drinks at Hop Shop but our daughter caught a cold so we pivoted to take out. We ordered 3 gluten free pizzas and a kids pepperoni. They were all amazing. My husband said he would prefer to order all of our pizzas from Ciao Down because they were so good. The gluten free crust is amazing, just the right amount of chew and great flavor. I also want to say that whoever is doing social media for them is doing a great job. I really enjoy the posts and that's how we found this awesome business. read more

I ordered a 10-inch Flyin' Hawaiian pizza ($14) here yesterday, ate two slices and took the rest home for future lunches. The pizza was pretty good and came out fairly fast. This is a takeout operation, but there is outdoor seating at the bar next door, and they brought me the pizza there when it was ready. read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to try this place! The pizza was delicious, but the grilled marinated artichokes with aioli were *amazing*. Will definitely order more next time I visit the hop shop!! read more

I was very to find out that Ciao Down Pizza became a permanent stable next to Tucson Hop Shop, a go-to spot. Finally got to try out the pizza and I'm glad we did! We went with the Big Dill Pizza. Even as a pickle-lover, I was hesitant that the pickle flavor would be overwhelming but it was well-balanced. Nothing like fresh Wood-Fired pizza! Looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu. We really appreciated that they were able to bring the pizza over to us at Tucson hop shop as well, only downside is the wait-time, but the three people on staff were definitely hustling the whole time so that's greatly appreciated. Can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

My favorite pizza dealer in Tucson. The Snake Bite will change your life... for the better, definitely for the better.

I had the vegan BBQ jack pizza yesterday, and it was absolutely the best vegan pizza I have had so far. I wasn't sure what to think about the mix of ingredients, but they all went perfectly together. The best part for sure was the crust. It was cooked to perfection. My daughter had the kid's pepperoni pizza, and she agrees that the crust was amazing. read more

Was at an even at Hop Shop last night and decided to check out some pizza from Ciao Down. We went for a gluten free crust Big Dill and a Supreme. Pizza didn't take long and was delivered to our table at the bar. Super delicious crust, toppings were plentiful and lots of cheese! Neither pizza stood a chance and we had no leftovers to take home! We'll definitely be back to try more of their creations! read more

Talk about fantastic tasting pizza....and from a food truck. Hands down, our pizza was delicious! I got The Classic Cheese with fresh basil, and the hubby got the The Classic Pepperoni. Piping hot, bubbles on the crust, fresh ingredients....total deliciousness. I am in love with this pizza! Great customer service! A+++ We will be on the lookout for this food truck's future stops. read more
