Scottsdale has won me over! I honestly stumbled across this place through a random Google recommendation, and I am so incredibly glad I did. The moment you step through the front doors, you are hit with the most intoxicating, incredible smell of a true wood-fire oven. Right then and there, I knew the pizza was going to be a home run.We ordered a large mushroom pizza and a small cheese pizza to share with the family. While we waited, the service was absolutely stellar. Our server was incredibly attentive, making sure our drinks never went dry, and I noticed him giving that exact same high-level care to every single table in the dining room.When the pizzas hit the table, all I can say is dear lord... where has this place been all my life?! I grew up in the Bay Area as a die-hard Pinky's Pizza loyalist, but I think I've officially crowned a new favorite pizzeria. The irony is that we moved to Seattle, so it's a bit of a trek--but we will absolutely be traveling back to Scottsdale just to experience this food scene again. 10/10! read more

What a lovely lunch we had yesterday! Had the chicken piccata which came with a mini side of pasta. It was delightful. perfectly cooked. The Caesar side salad was fresh and crispy. The gnocchi bolognese was really good. The server was welcoming and friendly. The only problem we encountered was that my chicken piccata came out much later than my companion's dish because the wrong dish was brought to me. So she decided to wait until my dish arrived before eating hers. The quality of the food made up for it. Prices are very fair considering. read more

Pizza was good but not great. I liked the doughiness of the crust, but the bottom also felt a bit overcooked. It tasted a little like the kind of pizza you get by the slice at the mall. read more

I recently ate here on a Wednesday evening for a book club. We were promptly greeted and sat at a nice table out on their patio area. They were having half off bottles of wine that evening which always goes well with our book club crew. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious with large portions. It's a casual restaurant in the neighborhood that is definitely worth trying. Our waiter split our checks for us which was really nice for our large group. I would recommend this restaurant for a relaxing evening dinner. read more

This cute place was a recommendation from our friend living in Scottsdale and it didn't disappoint. I ordered a Bianco pizza with extra cheese and my partner ordered the pasta with vodka sauce. Both of these were simply outstanding. The pasta and sauce were wonderfully done and the pizza was exceptional. I usually prefer heavy, loaded pies, but this thin crust with just a hint of char was perfect. I would return and recommend this little gem in a heart beat. Another winner in Scottsdale. read more

Absolutely horrible pizza! I don't think I've ever had to throw pizza away but I threw my veggie (added chicken) pizza away. The dough was undercooked. Soggy. Inedible. The chicken was not good quality. The veggies were cold. Avoid this place. Maybe they are good on some days but to serve someone what I was served is completely unacceptable. Also, I guess the owner responded to this review about the modification I made, adding balsamic vinegar. That has nothing to do with undercooked crust, chicken and toppings. I've gotten plenty of pizza with balsamic vinegar added and they were edible and enjoyable. I received a refund without asking from DoorDash after explaining the quality issues. I'm not sure why ordering on DoorDash has anything to do with the quality. Low quality meat, served cold. Undercooked crust. The business is better off responding with care and concern for the customer, having a bad experience, or not at all. Update 1/29 The owner took down the very rude response, didn't apologize and then left a normal response. read more

We love this mom&pop Italian restaurant! The service is quick and food is delicious! Eggplant parmigiana plus side Angel hair pasta is excellent and a local favorite! Best sauce by far! The patio is good in the summer! The happy hour is busy and the pour is generous! Casual and family friendly! read more

Tried this place with a few girlfriends and it's in the heart of Scottsdale, and has a bunch of great deals! We got the arancini which was super unique, it actually had peas in the middle, but the outside was super crisp and paired with a delicious marinara. We also had their poached pear salad which had a nice sweet dressing and delicious poached pears in them. We got the Diavola wood fired pizza, if you are a spicy food lover, you will love this. It had hot sopressata, sausage, Calabrian chilis, ricotta, basil, mozzarella and tomato sauce. It was a little too spicy for me but my friends loved it. Everything was so fresh and made to order, and last but not least DESSERT. We got the Tiramisu which was to die for. It was honestly the best tiramisu I've ever had. It was so soft, fluffy and flavorful but not too overpowering! Cant wait to try more from this place read more

I don't know what happened to this what once was a nice mom and pop restaurant. My wife and I have gone there for many years. We have even had a few events there we liked it so much and it was such a predictably good experience. They opened a location in Glendale by the stadium and shortly after that the service went completely out the window. We are long time supporters of this place, and the LAST 2 times I went there I had to ASK for someone to wait on me after ALMOST 10 MINUTES OF BEING IGNORED (they were too busy doing nothing to wait on the ONLY customer sitting at the bar). The last time we both went and sat at the bar again, and received no service again. I hate to see how new customers are treated. We haven't been back since and we will tell everyone we know how they treat customers. It's really too bad. read more

Amazing experience ! Hit happy hour and had the pizza with meatball and eggplant - best crust I've ever had ! Arancini and meatball was delicious too and the salad was like dessert . Excellent service too- can't wait to come back and try more ! read more

This by far is the best pizza I've ever had in Arizona the reason I know this is because I'm from New York and made pizza for years when I was in high school. It was some of the best sauce I've ever had out here and the crust was so light I drove all the way from Tempe to try this pizza and I will certainly be back read more

Food was superb. We ordered Gnocchi which was obviously homemade in-house and it was scrumptious. Also an eggplant parm sandwich which came with a side Caesar salad. Portions were very generous. Prices are reasonable. Service was good. The pizzas looked amazing so we'll definitely try one soon. The only downside is that it is a small space and it was EXTREMELY LOUD. So loud that we almost left before ordering but I'm glad we stayed. Next time I may just order take-out from them but I doubt I'll go back for dine-in. Overall, their food is fabulous but as is the case with Yo Pauly's, for me it will just be a take out place. read more

The service was excellent. Our waiter greeted us with a lovely smile and provided great service. My friend and I shared the Bruschetta and Wood Fired Pesto pizza for lunch. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this place. read more

We ordered a few appetizers for the table. The garlic knots were good. The arancini were huge but not my preference. They had a very strong flavor. The Buffalo cauliflower was a stand out and raved about by everyone. I got the Diavolo pizza with hot soppressata, sausage, Calabrian chilis, ricotta, and basil. I ordered this because it said hot honey drizzle, which I couldn't taste at all. Now I see the menu has been updated to show you can add the hot honey for $1. Missing hot honey aside, the pizza was good and fiery! I enjoyed the crust and toppings and would try pizza here again if in the area read more

This was one of the most disrespectful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. The bald, very thin male staff member with a long beard who was working the floor was incredibly unprofessional and rude. He was annoyed of me even ordering a meal and had a really harsh tone towards me for no reason.. From our table, we could clearly hear him speaking negatively about other customers, which made the entire environment uncomfortable and awkward. The food here is genuinely great, which makes this even more disappointing. But service like that ruins the experience. If this is who represents the front of house, management seriously needs to step in. Guests should never feel disrespected or hear staff talking badly about other customers while dining. read more

Looking for a place to go and have lunch with my grandma and this was perfect.

Excited to come back! read more

Visited during lunch on a weekday and sat outside in the beautiful November weather. The patio was in rough shape- loose stones on the ground and tons of bird droppings. Ordered a lunch slice and salad along with the spaghetti and meatball. No options were provided for salad dressing only Caesar although it wasn't busy our food took a long time to come out as there was only one employee working the front of the house and serving the sauce on the spaghetti and pizza was just meh. read more

I visited IL Capo years ago and have always remembered this "pizza with a kick!" I feel like I've been chasing this taste for years and finally it hit me - it was IL Capo! My husband and I went to visit this last weekend (years later) and it was still just as memorable! Omg the food was so good and we cannot get over how delicious the Diavolo Pizza was/is! The pizza has a savory and spicy taste and is perfect for sharing with another dish. We also ordered gnocchi pasta with creamy mushrooms, also very nice savory dish. I won't necessarily go back for the pasta but I will continue to dream about this pizza. Perfect combo of cheese, protein, and flavors. Food is good, service was nice, just a bit slow - maybe a newer staff, they seemed to be a bit dysfunctional even though it was not very busy. Hope this was just a little phase because the rest of the experience was great. Will most certainly go back again, and again... read more

We went on a Friday night, and they were pretty busy. I would say this is a low-key type of restaurant with solid food. It was HH so we ordered a glass of wine, meatballs, arancini, and a pepperoni pizza. We also ordered fries, kids pasta, and split a beet salad (which was awesome! ) no complaints - we would go back! read more

My coworkers and I came here for my birthday lunch. It was a beautiful Scottsdale day so we sat outside. The sun was at my back so excuse the shaded pics. (I have a suntan on the leg where my pants ended that was not under the table to prove it. Yikes!) The manager James is personable and our server Sam provided great service. It was crowded and he was hustling. The restaurant was empty because everyone took advantage of the comfortable weather. My Chopped Salad with chicken added was delicious. We ordered Garlic Knots for the table. One coworker had the Caprese Salad. Two each had a side Caesar salad. One also ordered a Calzone and took half home. Two shared a Fig & Prosciutto pizza. I enjoyed a sliced. I can't recall the pasta dish from my last worker. This lunch was a great kickoff to by birthday weekend. I had a slice of cheesecake to go. Oh, I went to wash my hands so know the restroom was clean. That says a lot. It's nicely decorated as well. read more

Some friends and I were heading back to our hotel and wanted to pick up some pizza. It was about 8:30 at night and most places, including Il Capo, closed at 9. I called ahead to make sure they would still have pizza and they said they absolutely did. When we got there they went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and said we could dine in and not to worry about staying a little past 9. We ordered a couple of salads, the caprese was our favorite and a couple of pizzas as well. My favorite topping was the meatball, such great flavor!! The pizza dough was great too! read more

Wouldn't even recommend it to my grandma. Worst experience ever staff is completely incompetent. Bartender was very nice and really cool. I gave him a good tip because he was on his job. but my pizza sat in the window for over five minutes, getting cold. Then some expediter handed me my pizza after he'd been staring at me for 10 minutes. The owner seem like he didn't care because he sat in the booth, watching everyone do nothing. finally, after waiting 20 minute five minutes for a one little medium pizza end ended up being more more salad on top of my pizza that I didn't even order. Why are you guys putting salads on top of pizzas? absolutely disgusting. Never come back here worst experience ever . Too bad they have a great location and a cool name read more

Great people with a great sense of community. Love everything about this place. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great pizza!

Their pizza is great. Their delivery? Completely sucks. The first time they got a pass (even though we waited 2+ hours and it never showed up). They apologized a lot. The second time? It never showed up even through the delivery driver insisted it did. I walked around the whole neighborhood looking for a stray pizza. Not there. Anywhere. I called them and said where is it? The response? "Uhhh. It's a third party delivery service. We can't do anything about it". Talk about a lame response. Never ordering from them EVER AGAIN. read more

Stopped in for lunch after the movies. great lunch deals, $15 for 2 caesar salads and a 12 inch cheese pizza. Waitress was very attentive and sweet. Definitely will go back. read more

Best NY style pizza in Scottsdale - Great food and service - The gelato is fantastic as well!!!

My wife and I wanted to try a new pizza place. We are pizza aficionados. I referenced the latest top pizza choices in the Phoenix New Times. It was published back in October of last year (2023). The combination of the recommendation by NT and good Happy Hour deals (HH info found online on IL Capo's website) sold us. Current HH is 2-6pm, Mon-Fri. Deals included drinks and food. $5 pints of State 48 beers, $5 wells, $3 off wines by the glass. $10 40oz pitchers of "local and domestic" beers, but all I saw was State 48 taps with 1 exception so it should just say that. I did see a Peroni tap, but that is neither local nor domestic. 8 different food options were at a reduced price during HH. We tried 4 options bc the prices were great! The Garlic Knots ($3.25 for 5 or 6, I forget), Crispy Ribs ($6 for 3 ribs), a meatball ($3.50 each), and a rice ball ($4 each). The knots had a lot of garlic and were a solid bread option overall. Ribs fell off the bone, tasty sauce. Meatball had good flavor, sauce was a lil salty but good. Riceball was best appetizer we had. Cooked perfectly, nice meat sauce and cheese inside a deep-fried ball. After that we ordered a pizza. We were so full we only had 1 slice each. But that was the plan anyway, take most of the pizza home for leftovers. We chose the Diavolo in the 18" NY style. At $27 it wasn't a terrible price for such a large pie and the amount of toppings did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious! The hot sopressata and calabrian chilis were spicy good. Sausage was also well made, and the ricotta creamy. A real flavor explosion in each bite. The NT article noted that the large slices held up to the toppings, but that wasn't true. I didn't mind. The crust was great the way it was, a little floppy towards the tip of the slice. They also do 12" wood-fired pies and we may try one next visit. I would put IL Capo up there with the other great pizzas in Valley (Bianco, Parlor, Federal, Cibo, IL Bosco, to name a few of our favs). One discrepancy between the menu online and laminated in restaurant menu, involved the honey drizzle. The price of the Diavolo online is quoted as $27 plus $1 for honey drizzle. The in-house menu listed the pie as already having the drizzle, and cost would be $28. When we ordered, we asked about the drizzle and were assured it would just come on it as the print menu stated. The pizza arrived without the honey drizzle and we were charged the correct $27. The pie was delicious even without the honey, so we weren't mad. I'm just saying this issue should be cleared up and made consistent for ingredient and pricing between electronic and print menus. Overall a great spot for pizza and HH. We will definitely be back. And we'd probably go more often if it wasn't a bit of a drive for us that far up the 101 to Shea. Probably should of done more photos, but the 1 pizza pic will do! read more

Wow! Saw the chef on Good Morning Az on national cannoli day making cannolis. They looked delicious& I'm not a big fan of cannolis. My neighbor is & I told her I saw the chef on tv, so of course we had to go & get some. We have tried cannolis at 6 different restaurants previously& wow what a difference! They were unbelievably good, & were very inexpensive compared to all the others we tried! I've taken them to friends as gifts & everyone's reactions are unbelief at the price& quality. read more

Pesto pizza was good, several gelato flavors to choose from. Do not skip the Caesar salad, it is perfection. The dressing is made in house and it's the best Caesar I've had in Arizona. Really enjoyed sitting on the patio, plus they have heaters and sun shades. Service was great, wine was good, plus very fair pricing. I didn't try the slices, but excited that they are available. This will be a place I frequent. read more

Fantastic food and wonderful service in a friendly and relaxed environment. Started off my meal with a poached pear salad which was outstanding. Then came a great Neapolitan pizza called The Boss which had meatball, sausage, pepperoni, red pepper and mushrooms on it. It was Happy Hour so I got an arancini which had an outstanding golden crust on it and was wonderful. Finished my meal with peanut butter gelato. Staff was personable, every bite of food was delicious. read more
