This place has ruined me in the best way possible!! I will be dreaming of the delicious food here and am beyond excited for the next time I get to eat here. I am salivating as I type. We started with their Italian Salad, ordered the Ortolana Pizza and their Bolognese Special. When I bit into their Bolognese Pasta, I got schooled as to what Bolognese really tastes like. For the Ortolana Pizza, we added the honey chillin sauce to it and also requested for it to be made with their sourdough. Highly recommend both add one. Honestly the best pizza & pasta I've ever had. Since the dinner was beyond, we decided to get their tirimisu dessert, we were surprised at how large the serving was, absolute delicious, not too sweet. Just perfect. Presentation was phenomenal. Staff was so friendly & you could tell the chefs take such pride in their work!! Every seat is a great seat at this restaurant. We sat at the bar & it felt like we were able to really feel the soul of the restaurant right in front of the pizza oven!! Great place. Chef's kiss!! Xoxo
Let's say I know pizza. I'm not saying I'm a pizza snob or I get saucey over bad pizza but I come from a place where a-pizza is our pride and joy. Geraldo's is a must try if you are in Sedona! They take pride in their ingredients all the down to the soil that grows the wheat for the flour. House-made mozzarella, sausage dough, lemoncello etc.. This father and son duo pour their heart and soul into tasty creations while feeding off of each other's expertise. I truly enjoy coming in to see what they have to offer. They make you feel like family
This is a cozy local neighborhood hidden gem with incredible pizzas. Sitting at the bar, you can watch the chef making the pizzas in the Italian wood fired pizza oven. We had the Ortelana (veggie) pizza on their homemade sourdough. And just the right cheese to red sauce ratio. It was all so delicious!! The 72-hour sourdough is both light and fluffy/air filled, while also so crispy and tasty. One of the best pizzas I've had in a while. Highly recommend!
WOW! This was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. We were looking a pizza place with outdoor dining for dinner so we could bring our dog. Our dog sometimes is reactive to other dogs so we wanted a spot where the tables were pretty spread out. When we arrived, we were promptly seated and the outdoor patio was actually way nicer than we expected. All the heaters were on and it was actually very cozy with the string lights as well. There was a line for inside seating and were surprised not more people opted to sit outside. Our server was great and shared the daily specials with us. We tried the wine and both the Riesling and Moscato were lovely. We shared the Carnivore pizza (12 inches), rigatoni bolognese (special of the day), and a bruschetta (special of the day). The bruschetta was super tasty with prosciutto and arugula. 3 good size pieces as well. The pizza was unsurprisingly fantastic - great char from the wood fire and tasty toppings and crust. The standout was the pasta though. The homemade rigatoni had a nice chew and absorbed the sauce very nicely. For dessert, we shared the creme brulee and it was tasty as well. The moon shaped cookie was cute but very hard to break apart. The table next to us got the brioche bread with strawberries and cream (special of the day) and it looked REALLY good. Kinda wish we ordered that instead, haha! Amazing food, great service, and cute relaxing ambiance. Best meal during our visit to Sedona!
Great wood fired pizza, locally owned, and fresh ingredient sourced! Our waitress Maria provided excellent service and our pizzas were delicious. You can customize the type of pizza dough you would like such as traditional, sourdough, or black ink dough. We also got the cannoli trio and pistachio tiramisu desserts to take home. They tasted awesome, however the tiramisu did melt a bit, so you may want to get that option for dine-in only. The ambiance for the indoor seating was nice and none of the tables were too close together. Additionally, they have outdoor patio seating that is dog friendly. For parking, there is an attached parking lot. If you are in Sedona, this is a good casual restaurant to check out!
This small Italian spot was recommended to me, so my wife and I made a trip to Sedona to try it. The pizza was excellent and made fresh entirely in house with fermented sourdough. The pizza was light, not heavy (although a little soggy with the crust) and did not leave me bloated. We also tried the bolognese pasta which was fresh and flavorful also, however the pasta was a little undercooked. This is something to be aware of if you arrive at or near open. Service was great and the restaurant was friendly and inviting, although a bit generic. Overall this is a great stop for Italian if in Sedona.
We were seated immediately as walk ups, I like that this place is further away from the crowded downtown area. Decor is simple and server was friendly. The food was unbelievable. The bolognese was the best I've ever had in my life! Pizza was solid and I'm glad I added the hot honey. Salad dressing was wonderful. Tiramisu was huge.
Best pizza I've ever had and I've been all throughout Italy! Cherry on top is that it's a family owned business and they're all very hands-on with the day-to-day operations and in the kitchen. Fresh ingredients and quality/flavor of the dough made the pizzas we got so delicious. Caesar salad was one of the best flavors I've had as well with their tangy homemade dressing. I'll be coming back here every time I visit Sedona.
Easily my best meal in the Sedona area. Highly, highly recommend making a meal stop here. Visiting from Chicago (and very Italian) I had high expectations and they were surpassed. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. I've visited many Neapolitan places in Italy and in Chicago and this is easily top 5 in the mix. Service was kind and attentive, they have some unique ovens explained as part of your dining experience. We started with the calamari which was good - lightly breaded like in Italy. We went straight for the pizzas which were excellent. I enjoyed that they had classics on their menu - like Salssicia and capprriciosa that we greatly enjoyed. Excellent. Highly recommend. Grazie mille per l'eccellente esperienza culinaria e il cibo meraviglioso! Alla prossima!
Hubby and I came here while visiting Sedona in October. We were seated rally quickly, and our server came over shortly after and made suggestions. I tried the Carnivora uncut. The bread made the pizza even more delicious than it already was! Sooo good! We also ordered the tiramisu, which was pretty good too. 5 stars!!
I came here with a group of girls after a long hike in Sedona and let me just say -- I will think about this place forever. It was so good! We sat outside on the patio and the weather was so beautiful in the evening. Our waitress was so kind while she explained the specials and waited for us to think. We got four pizzas. The best one was the mortadella and pesto!!! I want that everyday of my life!! My least favorite was the spicy burrata. Margarita was just like any other. The prosciutto and fig was not what I wanted. It was fine. The crème brûlée was super delicious and the tiramisu could be skipped. Wish I tried the cannoli.
Highly recommend the squid ink dough! Very unique and delicious. We've never seen squid ink being used in pizza before. This place is so far our favorite in Sedona. Good service and tasty food, will def come back!
As someone who always enjoys but never seeks out pizza I'm here to say that Gerardo's is a place to seek out. Every pizza lover should be wowed by the pizza offerings but even those who'd generally choose otherwise will be won over here. I was headed someplace else and arrived to find that place closed. Yelp directed me to Gerardo's, which I'd not have otherwise chosen as it's off-the-street-behind-another-building setting wouldn't draw me in. Then you park and go inside and hmmm... this place looks like the real deal: Without going into excruciating detail, know that Gerardo's has the "slow food" seal of approval and that their web site talks of their dough like this: "our dough doesn't just rise--it rests, breathes, and transforms over 72 hours. We treat it like a baby: with patience, consistency, and care". I haven't had pizza like this since my trip to Naples. I sat at the small bar from which I could watch pizzas being placed into the artful oven and observe servers carefully measuring ample wine pours. I was charmed and thrilled to have gotten any seat at all (reservations aren't accepted and the place gets packed). I had some good meals in Sedona but my meal here was the best.

One of the best pizza's I have ever had! The crust is perfect as is the marinara. Lots of unique pizzas too including some without red sauce. I can't believe I have been in Sedona so many times and didnt find this place until now. Will eat here every trip going forward. read more

Best experience! We had an opportunity to speak with the owner and learn more background of the charming, mouth watering and top notch pizzeria. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a caprese salad, the house Caesar salad, prosciutto and fig le pizze, and the inferno dolce thick Sicilian pizza. Those looking for a dog friendly location you can bring your fur babies and eat on the patio. A must stop when in Sedona! read more

We were recommended this spot as the best pizza in Sedona. The restaurant is smaller so make sure you have a reservation. We did not have one and waited 30 minutes which wasn't too bad as you can get a drink while you wait. It is a cute restaurant with good service. The pizza was good. The pesto side sauce was delicious. Was it the best pizza in Sedona? I'm not sure about that. But it was good. They had a pecan caramel tiramisu which I would say was the best dessert we've had in Sedona. read more

5 Stars. Fantastic restaurant. One of the Owner's, Gerardo, greeted us as we were sat and pointed out a special Pizza that was a "Sun Devil Special" because I was wearing my ASU quarter zip. He told us all about how their family was a pioneer of the Slow Food movement in Italy and that they brought that same philosophy here to their restaurant in Sedona. His wife, Guadalupe was our server and was amazing - they made sure to give great recommendations and took great care of us. I would 10/10 go back to this restaurant next time we are in Sedona. It is more of a local known spot and I will be sure to tell everyone about this place who visits. read more

Wow! What a wonderful gem in Sedona! A family-run business with a warm atmosphere and awesome food! Due to the high-quality food, the wait was a little long, but darn well worth it! The owner sat us and chatted with us a bit about the restaurant history and his family. We had the Cardini salad with homemade parm crisps (awesome!) and calamari to start. We followed that with a Margherita pizza and the Mortadella & Pistachio pizza (with Black dough!). Pretty dang good! Thanks for a great experience Gerardo's! read more

A Must-Visit for Pizza Lovers in Sedona! We had an amazing dining experience here with their flavorful wood-fired pizzas! We ordered three: pepperoni (for the kids), Margherita, and the Mortadella Pistachio pizza. Each one was absolutely delicious. The crust was light, flaky, and packed with flavor--a perfect base for their creative toppings. The wine selection complemented the meal wonderfully, and the overall vibe of the place was warm and inviting. While we couldn't enjoy the patio due to the chilly December evenings, the indoor ambiance was lively and cozy. It can get a bit loud, but we appreciated that since we were dining with young kids (ages 3 and 5) who could be their lively selves without worry. Service was attentive and friendly, rounding out a great experience. We'll definitely recommend this spot to our friends and look forward to coming back the next time we're in Sedona! read more

Must go to restaurant in Sedona!! Absolutely loved the Burrata pizza! I have been here twice and can't wait to go back! We started with the Insalata Della Casa. This was refreshing and love the dressing. We got two pizzas. The with pizza sauce was the Salsiccia and the without pizza sauce the Burrata. The Salsiccia was perfect with the sausage and onions. The Burrata pizza was the best pizza! The Burrata was the perfect combination to the prosciutto, arugula,and balsamic glaze. The crust was made perfectly. Sadly they do not take reservations, so go check in and then go around the area while waiting for the table. They have indoor and outdoor seating options. This pizzeria is definitely worth the wait! read more

Our family visited Sedona during winter vacation; we came at 6PM and Gerardo's was packed. Waited for 40 min to be seated at the patio, but this place worth the wait. The pizzas were absolutely tasty; their almond cookies and cream brulee were also amazing. The service was top notch. My kiddo was curious about their pizza oven; the owner & staff were kindly showing her up close. It was very memorable dinner for her. read more
The restaurant is cute and we met a few locals that knew the owners that raved about the history, the family passion, and the food. We were seated rather quickly. The service was the only mishap as we had a much older waitress that was seemingly tired, snappy in demeanor and really unhelpful. We'd ask questions about recommendations and she'd answer very abruptly and with annoyance. We didn't let that ruin the great food- I will say the margherita pizza and the calzone were exceptional ! We'd try again and hopefully have different service. :) read more
The order: Buriata pizza & Salsiccia Insalata Della Casa, salad The good: both pizzas are outstanding. If you get a pizza here, you'll experience that their dough is outstanding. It's fluffy, but still substantial and has a good chew. My jaw was not tired from eating this. The buriata pizza was one of the best I've ever had. The bad: I wished they had some sort of reservation system read more

Recommended to us from Blaine. We were looking for good Italian with pasta on our mind upon arrival but ended up with margaritas, calamari, salad, pizza, and tiramisu. We learned pasta is only an occasional special as they are primarily focused on premium pizzas. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, service, and our meal. Thanks Blaine for the recommendation! read more

Had a quick trip to Sedona and gave this place a try. Very mom and pop feel and relatively busy. It appears to be a favorite among locals. We started with the focaccia, which in hindsight turned out to be too much bread for the evening. Seasoned well and had a nice crunch. I ordered the Quattro stagioni and my boyfriend the A.c Milan. The A.C Milan was delightful. Had lots of layers of flavor. Sweet meets savory and very complimentary. The dough in this restaurant is exceptional. However, my pizza was lack luster. They have these place mats that describe the restaurants conception and origin and spotlight ingredients, so naturally, I was excited tot et their sauce. My pizza was sorely lacking sauce. It was quite the disappointment and I even have to ask my server for Marinara. It's not the same as the pizza sauce but it did definitely help the dryness. Their prosciutto was a little thick cut for my liking. Other than that very good. Super casual setting and looks like they have a nice patio. The prices are a little exorbitant for my taste. I don't normally gravitate towards pizzas, but spending 27$ for 12 inch that was lack luster (in my opinion) was a hard pill to swallow. read more

Are you a BYOB (if do, what is corking fee?)?
It's not a BYOB. They have a bar area. Enjoy
Do they offer flute free pizza?
Hi Denise We don't have gluten free pizza in our menu.
I know bolognese is typically made with pork, but I see in your description that it is "grass fed". Is your bolognese only made with beef? Would love to have it if so!
It's only beef! Enjoy!
Excuse me, Are dogs allowed here?
On the patio, yes. There is a sign on the gate that says they are allowed, but not in the restaurant, so you would be seated through the gate to the patio.
Can we get gluten free pizzas ? Also we have one in iur party who is vegan - do they options?
No. They do not offer a gluten-free pizza crust, but they do have gluten free pasta.
