We are more impressed every time we dine here! Love the ambiance and excellent service and the food is outstanding. This time we started with the calamari and shrimp and had the branzino special which was superb! read more

This was a palette cleanse from the worst Italian I ate the day before. Just what the doctor ordered. Seeing the old style open kitchen with the brick oven made me feel homesick for NYC. This place has an amazing variety of wine and spirits and the menu has just as many choices. Started out with fried shrimp and calamari with zucchini chips with a sweet garlic sauce. I do not have the words how yummy this was. The main course was brick oven pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella, ham, sausage, artichoke, olives and mushrooms. The crust was crisp all the way through and the toppings covered the pizza. Again, it was unreal great and you can tell this is true Italian fresh food from the spices to that brick oven perfection. On the side we got a mushroom dish with garlic in wine sauce and I never saw so many varieties of mushrooms and all so good. Finally, for desert, we got a chocolate, strawberry and pistachio spumoni ice cream covered in a dark chocolate shell with sprinkles. You feel like fireworks going off with every bite. Check out the photo I will add for the desert menu. This is a place you can go each time order something different and know it's going to be excellent. It is a little on the pricey side and although we ate in Glendale, they have locations across the valley. If you want some of the best Italian food in the valley, this is a must stop. I forgot to mention the staff and our server were outstanding read more

Valentines Day disaster. Food, service and ambiance was a disappointment. My wife and I were expecting a great evening and supporting a local business, but we were let down at every at every turn. read more

Owned by Italians and an award winning Italian chef in the house! We went for lunch and could not have been more impressed!! We ordered a pizza that was not only beautiful but was baked to perfection !! Too many to choose from ! Two different pasta selections- both beyond amazing. Again - so many amazing options to choose from. We took a menu home so that we can cross off everything we've had and make our way through the complete menu until we've tried everything. Going back for their Easter brunch!! read more

Was a very memorable dining experience. The food was delish plentiful. The service was impeccable.

So phenomenal, like I had no words. You gotta try this place, just went here tonight with my boyfriend and first of the live frank sinatra music was spot on, I lowkey hate it when I go to an Italian restaurant and they are playing like pop or country music, the music just adds so much to the environment. Secondly, our waitress I can't remember her name but she was such a sweetheart, my boyfriend is hard of hearing and loud noises hurts his ears so when we asked our server if we could switch tables to sit outside she was immediately okay with it and was very accommodating. Sitting out on the patio with the misters and still able to hear the music was so nice. The cheesy garlic bread was so fresh and amazing. The pastas are just to die for like if I could have this as a final meal I definitely would. Congrats on the owner for having a place like this. With phenomenal cooks and employees, I hope further success in this place necause it seriously deserves it, a great hidden gem. :) read more

Wonderful dining from the exquisitely prepared fare to the impeccable and friendly service to the mellow atmosphere and attention to detail (oh yes...tablecloths! No screens in main dining area!) Italian food takes on an elegant, fresh, and sophisticated melding of tastes here. Loved every minute! read more

Pizzicata, is the best Italian restaurant. True authentic Italian cuisine! Start with the appetizers, the meat balls, the calamari and shrimp and everything else. Then for the main dish the pinsa which is a flatbread, just simply amazing! The pastas and pizzas amazing and very authentic! Overall amazing food, and the desserts even better! The place is quite and they always have someone with live music, but it is not too loud so you cannot speak to each other. The service is amazing the waitress is very polite and pays attention to details. At pizzicata you'll never get bored of the food and they have specials also, which chef Viola makes them fabulous! They treat you like family which is a game changer! We will be back a lot! read more

Went there last night very disappointing maybe I'm wrong but when the menu say stuff ricotta crust pizza I expect to have the pizza crust stuffed with ricotta had to send it back and the second one still didn't have the ricotta in the crust. Our waitress never gave us her name, when she dropped the 1 st pizza off we ordered another glass of wine another sever saw us looking around and came over we told him what was wrong another few minutes went by before she came over still no wine when she came finally over then she took the pizza still no wine finally when the 2 one came we asked her reply was let me check the bar over all not good and won't go back to many other places like Cucina Tagliani down the street read more

Food and service were fantastic. Up front getting seated needs some improvement. Had a reservation for 630 pm, got there like 615, was told we had to wait to be seated until our reservation. Issue was they sat 3 other walk-in tables before us. If there were tables I felt like we should have been seated. Manager still messed up my name when telling the hostess, told her it was 3 when it was 2. Communication seemed to be an issue. Overall the dinner was good. read more

Pizzicata had big shoes to fill as so many of us loved Bottega so much. I am pleased to say that Pizzicata is wonderful. Exceptional service, very tasty food, same ambiance and a great happy hour. All of the reasons it makes for the perfect place to dine and enjoy some delicious food and drinks. They are authentic Italian and the owner is from Italy. Love supporting local small business and Pizzicata makes it easy to do. read more

Food & service are fantastic. Definitely get the family owned vibe which is incredible! Been with friends for HH several times and never disappointed. Taking the family for dinner next. Excited to share this spot! read more

The sauce on their pizza is on point. Really happy to see another great restaurant in the West Valley. Cant eait to go back!

Unfortunately, Pizzicata lost a little of its magic for us during our last visit. First, the meatballs that we loved so much have changed - they're much smaller now, and while I realize they give us 3 instead of 2 now, part of what made them different from Bottega was how big and juicy they were! Also, there were several flies flying all around our table tonight, landing on our glasses, on our food and on our heads - we spent our time trying to shoo them away the whole time (yes, we were seated inside). Turns out they were trying to keep doors open so people could hear the singer who was outside - which was letting all the flies in! The poor guy was out there singing in the 100 degree heat and no customers were outside, and no one could hear him inside anyhow (and it made it warm and stuffy inside). Anyhow we used to love it there but now I'm sad to say we will not be back for awhile. But we will try again someday because it was great in the past. read more

I love the food here and the service is phenomenal. I also did the pasta making class and that was so fun, too! The restaurant has a lovely patio as well and I'll definitely be back! read more

We were really looking forward to trying this place, but sadly it never happened. We sat at our table for 25 minutes without a single server checking on us - no hello, no water, nothing. Right as we decided to leave, a very kind woman brought bread, but she wasn't our waitress and couldn't help us. Such a letdown, especially since we were excited to be there. For the lack of service, we unfortunately have to give 1 star, everyone else seemed to have great service. Maybe they treat you better if you have a reservation. read more

1st time at this new location and it did not disappoint. Excellent service and food. Tried both styles of pizza and will need to come back soon because we couldn't pick a winner. Great pizza!!!so happy to have found d our new pizza spot in Glendale now that Bottegas is gone. This was a nice surprise and honestly an upgrade. We'll done Pizzicata read more

Pizzicata - Wagyu Pappardelle Bolognese, side of Broccoli, and Rigatoni Sausage. Delicious!! - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Best Italian spot on tv westside! Would highly recommend. Pesto gnocchi is great and amazing pizza.

Anyone thinking about going to Pizzicatta restaurant in Glendale, DON'T. Worst meal. I was supposed to have a dish of bacon pan seared scallops over crab stuff ravioli in a roasted red pepper sauce. What I got was scallops that were shaved in thirds (thin as paper) that were over done, tough as rubber, ravioli stuffed with NOTHING. But the sauce was tasty. I got what they called 4 scallops (which amounted to 1 shaved into 4 pieces) and empty ravioli which were hard as a rock. It was disgraceful. In addition, our waitress never asked if we wanted refills on our iced tea or anything. Then, to top it off, I ordered Nutella crepes for dessert. I had to cut the crepes with a steak knife. So tough, rubbery, you name it. In addition, we sat on the side where the restrooms were. All you could smell at the table was the restroom deodorizer. It was nauseating. WORST MEAL EXPERIENCE EVER!!! read more

We took their cooking class and it was so much fun! We learned how to make homemade pasta all while chatting and making new friends. Such a family vibe. My 12 year old son had a blast too! read more

Absolutely over the moon impressed! Bottega was amazing. Pizzicata made the BEST Gluten-free Pizza I have EVER HAD; EVER‼ Salad extraordinaire, Spinach. House Red fantastic.All 4 of us left planning our next visit. Patricia, our Server, was truly helpful explaining the details of this new Restaurant that moved into Bottega space. Friendly, attentive, ETC. simply extraordinaire all around! read more

Our service was very good however the food was not. We had a table of seven. My husband had the pork shank which he enjoyed but two people got the short ribs and they said that they were tasteless. I ordered the scallops (the most expensive thing on the menu) and the scallops were gritty with sand and the ravioli was undercooked and tough. We also ordered two goat cheese brulee appetizers. They were good but there was no brulee to it. All in all it was a very disappointing way to celebrate my birthday. read more

Very poor service during a non-rush time. Won't be going back. They have TVs in both bar areas, but no baseball games. Will go to zipper instead. / read more

Food is too sweet -- and I don't mean the dessert. Service is friendly, but slow. Good ambience

They have a very nice private room larger parties. I highly recommend the pistachio ricotta cheesecake!! This will be our new go to Italian restaurant read more

I honestly didn't want to write this, but after what Pizzaicata has done to this location, it needs to be said. This place replaced Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante, which was a true neighborhood gem real Italian food, consistency, care, and pride in what came out of the kitchen. Pizzaicata took over the space, slapped a new name on it, and somehow managed to erase everything that made this location special. Let's start with the food. I ordered their pizza (Margherita-style) because if a place can't get the most basic Italian pizza right, that already tells you everything. What came out was honestly embarrassing. The crust was dry and stiff, like it had been sitting out too long or reheated poorly. No lightness, no chew, no char just bland, lifeless dough. The sauce tasted overly sweet and artificial, like it came straight from a can with zero balance. The mozzarella? Cheap, rubbery, and barely melted evenly. Nothing about it tasted fresh or cared for. This wasn't "Italian-inspired." This wasn't "modern." This was fast-food quality pizza pretending to be something better. The portions were disappointing for the price, and the flavors were flat across the board. No depth, no seasoning, no soul. It felt rushed and careless, like the goal was to push orders out instead of actually making good food. That's especially frustrating when you remember what used to be here. Service didn't help either Staff seemed disengaged, like they were just going through the motions. No warmth, no pride, no sense that they cared whether customers enjoyed their meal or not. When you're paying restaurant prices, you expect at least a little attention and professionalism not indifference. And the atmosphere? Cold and Empty. It no longer feels like a place you want to sit, talk, and enjoy a meal. Bottega had character. Pizzaicata feels soulless and forgettable. What makes this worse is the missed opportunity. This location already had a reputation for quality Italian food. All Pizzaicata had to do was respect that standard and instead they lowered it dramatically. If you never experienced Bottega, maybe this place feels "okay." But if you did, the difference is painful. Bottom line: - Overpriced - Bland food - Poor execution - Zero authenticity - A downgrade in every possible way I gave one star because Yelp doesn't allow zero. Glendale deserved better than this. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for real Italian food or even decent pizza. read more

Food was amazing and the staff friendly must try restaurant. Hidden gem but well worth the visit. Very large portions!

Everything was wonderful, 10 layer lasagna was fantastic! We will be back and highly recommend it

Service was amazing! Francesca was our waitress and she was so great, her recommendations were fantastic. I dropped my ring as I was leaving the restaurant and I saw her outside, I let her know and she ran inside and found it for me. The food was fantastic and the ambiance was perfect- live music, low light and modern decor. Definitely make a reservation, it was packed - understandably. We went on a Sunday evening and every table was taken. read more

Delicious dining. Spacious and inviting dining room. Excellent and attentive service.

Amazing! Chef's Kiss! Came here for lunch and I had the Milenase sandwich and salad and my mom had the Alfredo Pinsa! Absolutely delicious! We are so glad we came to try out this new family-owned restaurant. There are so many things I want to try so we will be back. Great service, food, and atmosphere. We sat in the patio and it was lovely. Ice tea also amazing. read more

Pizzicata - corner of dining room - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Last Saturday Jan. 31 my wife and I decided to try a restaurant out of our normal area. We heard about Pizzicata and decided to make the drive. We arrived to be greeted by the nicest young ladies. We were a little early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and our table was ready just after ordering drinks. The place was PACKED! We easily could see how hard all the servers, bartenders, and bussers were working so we immediately told our server Gregg not to worry about us as we were in no rush. The man was working his ass off. We ordered an appetizer and listened to the man singing old rat pack songs on the patio which everyone enjoyed. Gregg, our server, was so nice to all of his tables. You would have thought he owned the place with the level of care he was taking with guests. Our appetizer was amazing and when Gregg stopped by to check on us we ordered. Gregg told us the two entrees we chose were very good. THEY WERE! Normally we do not get dessert but we asked Gregg what he suggested. Tiramisu he says. It is the best. I am not a tiramisu guy but we ordered it and WOW! Best ever! And just like that I am a tiramisu guy. We noticed a man who we later found out was the owner mingling and making sure guests were taken care of. You could tell folks really liked him and it was obvious many people have been there before even though they have not been open long. It really was a very nice date night for my wife and I. The employees made it personal and the food was impeccable. Gregg really topped it off. Best professional food server around. WE WILL BE BACK! and we will be requesting Gregg. read more
