I tried to call 3 times before finally just heading over. I was trying to clarify if the gf crust was with cauliflower ; but no one ever awnsered and the line was full of messages. We finally just went over. Service was OK... Had I been asked how the pizza was,I likely would have engaged a bit on it, but I was never asked despite only eating one piece. I ordered the Lucia Pizza gluten free - it's got red sauce, sausage, cremini mushrooms, mozzarella cheese. I added caramelized onion. I was fairly disappointed in the gf crust, and I do believe it's an in house crust with a rice & tapioca base...it was fairly crumbly and didn't really feel like I was eating pizza slices since the pizza kept breaking into pieces; I ate one slice and tried to send the rest home with the grandkids... They didn't want it either... I do not reminded the gluten free. The sauce was good and the toppings were quality ;hubby had a pizza and meatballs which he enjoyed. From the reviews, I think if your going for regular pizza, it's a Definate hit, but they missed the mark on the gf.
If you know, you know. Il Bosco is hands down our favorite pizza in Arizona. Every single time it hits. We started with the Fried Ravioli (crispy on the outside, perfectly cheesy inside) and the stuffed zucchini flowerse-- light, delicate, and fried to perfection. Not greasy. Just golden, cheesy and addictive. And then... The Valentina Pizza. We added Serrano for a touch of heat with the honey drizzle. Absolute magic. Sweet, spicy, savory -- the kind of balance that makes you pause mid-bite. The crust has that perfect wood-fired char with a soft, chewy center. It's artisan without being pretentious. Just straight-up delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is top notch and they even remember our order from our last visit. We've had a lot of pizza in Arizona, but Il Bosco keeps us coming back. Every. Single. Time.
came to the Phoenix location after seeing so much hype about this place on social media. Seat yourself style so obviously a very casual restaurant. Service definitely lacked because everyone sat at once with no pacing. Tried to the toasted ravioli and it came out so fast it was obviously already cooked or preheated. Not bad but truly tasted like something you could buy at the store. We got 2 different pizzas, can't remember the name but both very basic, and they were good. Was is the best pizza in the valley? No. But it was reasonably priced for the size and the quality. Also they don't serve coke or Pepsi fountain products but rather some off brand bottled soft drinks which aren't bad but would much rather prefer a coke. Worth a shot if you're in the area and want good pizza but probably wouldn't come back as we've had better elsewhere.
I ate here on recommendation of the server at a brewpub I stopped in at prior to my visit. The outdoor patio is dog friendly and it was warm enough to eat outside. Service was fast. The young man attending to me came up right away. He was a little surprised that I requested a paper menu and didn't want to look at the QR code. My basic Adriana pizza came out quickly and it was delicious. The crust had a nice flavor to it. It was a Monday evening and the place was busy.
Stopped in for dinner with a group tonight and the service was friendly and good. The server was attentive and the food was enjoyed by all. The platter I ordered was delicious and mostly devoured quickly. I would go back to try the pizza in the future.
I had the Biaggia and it was outstanding. Fig jam, arugula, goat cheese and more! Just super tasty combination. Service was solid too. Only drawback is that finding a parking spot can be tough on the weekends and in the evenings. Worth a stop!
This is such a great place to stop and enjoy a casual meal outdoors when you're in the Roosevelt Art District. This pizza place is in an old house with a big front porch. There's a small dining room inside and plenty of seating out side in front. When we got there all the tables with shade were taken, but our server said he could grab us an umbrella. With it being such a beautiful day, we wanted to sit outside. We ordered: *Spicy Italian sausage stuffed peppadew peppers *Gabriella pizza (red sauce, pepperoni, hatch green chile, mozzerella) *Joanna Pizza (red sauce, spicy sausage, pepperoni, mozzerella) Everything was yummy, and it was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the great weather. This place can get packed at night, but there was no problem going for lunch.
I met a friend here and had a great time. The restaurant is a renovated old house downtown off Roosevelt, so parking is on the nearby streets. The menu has appetizers, salads, a wide range of Neapolitan-style pizzas and a variety of drinks. Service was fast and friendly. There's indoor & outdoor seating. I ordered the Katarina, which has pepperoni and mushrooms and it was delicious.
Happy to admit I was WRONG to give Il Bosco 4 stars. They are an easy 5! You just gotta find the the right pizzas for you :) I'll Bosco is my latest delivery favorite. It's actually affordable for wood fired pizza compared to others like it in the area which is awesome. Since my first review, I've tried the Maria (pesto and tomato), Elaina (pep and olive), Biaggia (fig and arugula), and Valentina (pep with chili and honey). All of them were amazing. The crust is exceptional. It's crispy and thicc but still light and nice and smoky. The toppings are all high quality including the delicious cheese they use. The Caesar salad is also delightful and packed with parm. Also don't skip the salsa di parmigiana. Omg. It's spicy and rich and the most perfect thing ever to top their yummy bread with.
A chill place to grab lunch or dinner, the outside sitting was perfect for a cool cloudy day like today no flies or annoying gnats. I came specifically for the vegan pizzas and I'll have to give it a 7/10 it was okay. Of course it wouldn't taste like regular cheese, it was a bit soft but I was able to eat a decent pizza without stomach pain and breaking out so I'm grateful
OMG!!! This place is amazing!! We stayed at the Hyatt and it was quite a walk but was so worth it! The pizza was so fresh and delicious and the staff was so friendly and great service! We sat at the bar. We will definitely come back here again. Kendrick and Harrison were our servers and were so nice and made good conversation with us and were genuinely happy to serve us. The place was small and cozy inside. Best authentic fresh pizza ever!!!
I love the patio and the location! Roosevelt row continues to develop into a great place to enjoy for shopping, dining and more. I've been to I'll Bosco a few times and the pizza delivers.. As a local in the neighborhood, I tend to go at odd times and avoid the rush. This has made for prompt, and very friendly service! The ravioli starter was fresh and delicious and the pizza came out hot and exactly as described. I like the dense menu options also; enough choices to make me come back and enjoy again.

So glad I finally got to try this place out. Decided to sit out with the misters and it was perfect afternoon weather. The inside is rather small and dark lighting. We got cocktails and this bread appetizer with garlic, goat cheese, and some other amazing ingredients that had me drooling and asking for more bread. The pizza was really good. the Valentina is a spicy so we asked for less chili and it was perfect. Our server was kind and gave great suggestions. I will definitely be back. There is street parking so if there's an event, you'll have to walk. read more

IL Bosco is easily one of my favorite PHX pizzerias. I'd even say, it's in my top 3. I've been to iL Boscos Scottsdale location. It's oasis - like. The new PHX location creates a different vibe, but one that's very inviting. The majority of tables are outdoors, perfect for a spring evening. Ordering the spicy sausage sweet papadeaux stuffed peppers is a no brainer. That might be favorite appetizer - ever. They creatively used the spicy sausage and sweet pepadeaux peppers to create the Rosa, a 5/5 star pizza. The Valentina and Morena are winners as well. I highly recommend iL Bosco. read more
Hands down my favorite place to get pizza in the valley! If you like a little bit a spice you got to try the Valentina - red sauce, spicy pepperoni, calabrian chili sauce, mozzarella and the best part, honey drizzle! I recently got the opportunity to try their bruschetta which was divine The staff is always so welcoming. The service is always amazing. Feels like home walking in. They have live music on the patio some nights which is another win If you're in the mood for pizza and downtown definitely give this place a try! You won't be disappointed read more
I've been to the Scottsdale location a couple times, but not for years! My husband and I did a staycation and ordered takeout from this IL Bosco. I got the Maria pizza I think which had pesto, tomatoes, and garlic, and my husband had a cheese pizza. We also got the salsa di parmigiana, which tasted familiar but I don't think I had tried it here before? I was worried they'd only give us like 2 pieces of bread because I had that experience recently at some restaurants, so I ordered even more but I didn't even need it! Food was ready fast, especially for a Friday night. On the pricier side but totally worth it for good quality pizza like this. So glad I've been reintroduced to IL Bosco! read more

We sat outside and I have to say it was perfect! Ethan was our waiter and went over and beyond. Immediately came to our table with suggestions. They also have heat lamps outside. The aroma from the street was so fragrant that it entices you to come in. The food was spectacular! Our pizza was like homemade old country. We will be back. read more

Hello Rick, thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your…
The pizzas shine at Il Bosco. Crust is crisp and airy and the spicy pepperoni and honey drizzle were a great sweet and spicy balance. The caprese salad was super tasty and well dressed, but the meatballs were just ok. A huge outdoor patio area makes for a perfect spot to dine in the warm Phoenix evenings. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT I received an order from them that had pizza chewed up and spit back in my food (looks like vomit / spit up) and there is something of a liquid consistency white, thick and disgusting in my veggies. I called them and explained the issue and the person who answered the phone said "okay, that's your side of the story". Pics are below. Did not ask for a refund or a remake because I would never trust this business again and don't want this review to be compensation based. Eat here at your own caution.... Make sure you look at your food and immediately report anything wrong to the restaurant. Update: they called me back and blamed the delivery driver. When i told them that i am not looking for a refund or free food but want to report food tampering and they need to seal their food for safety they said those safety measures are out of their control / not their responsibility. Bottom line: find somewhere else to eat in Scottsdale, they're not concerned about customer safety or being professional. read more

Can across this place on Instagram so we came by to try it out! We sat outside and it was the most perfect atmosphere and would come back just for the cozy home vibes at night. An app and pizza is good for two people but if you are starving, I'd say skip the apps and get your own pizza because there were so many options. Our meatballs came out a little cold but they were still good! We ordered the pizza special which was a truffle pizza with mushroom and honey drizzle. We love a good date night so we will be returning! read more

First-time but not my last IL Bosco Pizza is locatedcin downtown phoenix and is a very cool and hip restaurant that is serving up great pizza and salads. There is street parking and seating in and ourdoors. If you haven't tried this place you should stop by you won't be disappointed. Usually Wood fired pizza isn't my first choice but the Pizza at IL Bosco, changed my mind, it's so delicious. There are so many options for toppings, on this visit we shared the Valentina (recomended by our server). It's covered in pepperoni, cheese with sweet heat from chilis and honey. It did not diappoint.p the pizza is the perfect combination of sauce, toppings and cheese, with the perfect tasting dough. I wish we would have ordered a larger pizza so we could have taken some home. I can't wait to go back and try alll the other delicious menu items. If you're in the area give this place a try. Staff is amazing, food is delicious, and the service is great. read more
I'm not super impressed with the pizza here. I ordered takeout from this location, so I can't comment on any dine-in features, but the servers were very friendly when I picked up my order! This spot also seems quite cute to sit down and eat in, as there is indoor and outdoor seating alike. I got the Biaggia, which consists of fig jam, prosciutto, mozz, goat cheese, arugula, and parmesan. I was pretty disappointed with what I got to be honest! The bottom of the crust was a little burnt, and I got tired of eating the pizza mid-slice. The fig jam made the pizza a little too sweet, and although the jam + goat cheese + prosciutto was a good combination, they probably don't belong on a thinner crust pizza (it's too many flavors without enough of a base to bring it all together). I think I would be open to trying the other flavors here, as I'm aware that the Biaggia is not as conventional as their other items, but I'm not super inclined to come back. read more

We just finished dining at Il Bosco and we liked it a lot! We sat inside and it was rather loud in there with everyone talking so if you don't want to have to talk so loudly to hear your dining partners, you may want to sit outside. The service was good. The cocktails weren't all that great, I would probably stick to wine next time but the pizzas we got were delicious! It is definitely worth a trip back read more
LOVE THIS little Italian/pizza place on Roosevelt Row. We had the Caprese appetizer (where was the basil and nice big tomatoes?) but the Buffalo mozzarella and birrata cheese was satisfying. We also had the Lucia pizza (sausage and mushrooms) which was perfect. Dave Portnoy would be proud of the crisp undercarriage (dark, fully cooked bottom of a slice) and the box we took leftovers in was foil lined. The only reason for 4 stars is the lack of parking (not their fault). read more
Perfect place for dinner before or after First Fridays! (Anytime actually) Ingredients are fresh and delicious. Service always fun and great. Love people watching while sitting outside on the patio. They have gluten free crust as well! read more

It's was mid. My 2 pizzas were too burnt. Brick oven pizza shouldn't be burnt. I'd come back for the ambiance, not the pizza. Pomo is way better read more

This is my favorite pizza place downtown. I don't have a favorite pizza here though because each one I've had has been delicious, so I try to get a different one every time. Do yourself a favor and make sure to try the Salsa Di Parmigiana. It's amazing and always a hit with everyone at the table! Recently I also had the caprese salad for the first time. I love that it came with burrata and a couple of pieces of bread. I enjoyed it even though it was sweeter than I was expecting. Would definitely get it again. The service has also always been friendly and attentive. read more
IL Bosco Pizza definitely won me over. As we walked up, we were welcomed to a quaint, intimate, dope vibe. The outdoor seating was welcoming but because I'm a bit under the weather we chose to eat inside. Staff was welcoming and accommodating. I ordered the Bella with gluten free crust and hubby ordered the Katarina pizza. The Bella was essentially a mushroom pizza. I didn't realize and was initially bummed that there wasn't red sauce in the pizza but the olive oil base made me a fan. The pizza was crispy, the mushrooms were profound and the mozzarella complete the masterpiece behind this pizza. It was delicious. The Katarina had the perfect balance of crust to cheese. The crust was flaky. The pepperoni although it says spicy they aren't spicy at all but nicely flavored. We completed our meals with a Malbec and Prickly Pear Cider. We're fans! Looking forward to our next visit. Definitely a fan!! read more
This is very tasty pizza, the flavor is great BUT I paid for extra pepperoni- see attached photo. If this is extra, what is normal? 3 pieces on each slice? I called in they recommended this pizza- and it's tasty, for sure but next time I'm not paying for extra that isn't even provided, that's a disappointment. Hence the 4 stars!! Could have easily been 5! read more
