Wow! Stopped in late on a Sunday night, and got seated instantly. Very friendly staff and quick service. Started with bread and water. Our waiter recommended some dishes and we ended up with a calzone, pizza, and a pasta dish. It was all so amazing. The wood fired pizza was the overall favorite. The crust was perfectly done and the sauce was amazing. Some of the best Italian i've ever had. We ate outside on the patio and it was the perfect temperature with the heater on. Definitely would recommend to anyone!! read more

Pizzicata just started serving breakfast and it is fantastic! We decided to try some of the more unique items and were really impressed. The pancakes with bacon cooked right into them were such a fun twist and tasted amazing. The green chili bowl had great flavor with a nice kick, but it wasn't overly spicy. I added bacon to mine and it was really good. But honestly, the star of the show was the side of apple butter. It was so delicious it almost tasted like dessert! If you haven't tried their new breakfast yet, it's definitely worth checking out! The prices are really affordable too. read more

My husband and I live in Glendale, but were staying in Mesa for the Valentine's Day weekend to attend the marathon. We made reservations at Pizzicata in anticipation of both Valentine's Day and the need to re-carb after the event. We arrived at the host stand a few minutes before our reservation, but were told that there were no indoor tables available. If we wanted to be seated immediately, we'd have to accept an outdoor table, even though we had a reservation for indoor seating. We opted to wait because the weather was chilly by Arizona standards, and we were still recovering from the race. A couple of minutes later, another hostess approached us and asked whether we had reservations and were waiting. When we confirmed, she immediately left to find us a table, and we were seated very shortly afterwards. I thought very little of this until the owner came to our table and apologized for the issue. He was kind and sincere in his regret for the situation and was excited to tell us about the staff and the food. We were wildly appreciative of this attention to detail and service! We shared the potato croquettes, and they were everything I was hoping they'd be and more. (Light lore: I chose Pizzicata because I saw a picture of these croquettes on their online menu.) For dinner, my husband had the Travolta pizza, and I had the gnocchi gorgonzola. We both did that thing where we sat back in our chairs, breathed deeply, and declared, "oh dang, that's goooood." We were both so happy with our choices - I can't speak to the pizza, but that was some of the best gnocchi I've ever had. Pillowy soft in this perfectly nutty, cheesy, creamy sauce. *chef's kiss* For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was perfect in every way. If we weren't already walking funny because of the race, we'd have still waddled out of Pizzicata from happy fullness. The service, the food, the vibe - we're here for it and we'll be back the next time we're in Mesa. read more

This was our first trip in to this delightful and (emphasis) friendly restaurant but it won't be our last! Neapolitan pizza is such an art. It needs to be prepared perfectly with the finest ingredients. The flour is imported from Italy and the sauce and cheese were absolutely delicious. We had the first bites in our mouths before I could snap the picture! Everyone knows what they love but, for us, it's the crust. Totally legit! . Looking at the menu they serve a large variety of pasta and meat dishes with a lunch menu of sandwiches using the pizza dough for the bread...yeah - we'll be trying that. Our server was amazingly attentive and the owners came over to make us feel at home. Oh, the Italian blend wine was a perfect pairing as well. Pizzicata Mesa is the genuine article. We're so happy we found it...can't wait to return! Yummmmmy! read more

We stopped by Pizzicata to have lunch with a friend last weekend. None of us have ever been, but were quickly impressed by the sprawling dining room and the picturesque golf course views. Our server was friendly right off of the bat and explained the menu to us, highlighting fan-favorite dishes. We started off with the cheesy garlic bread which was so important. It was seriously the best garlic bread I have ever had. We were all seriously impressed. For my meal, I had the chicken parmigiana. I order this at almost every Italian restaurant I go to, and Pizzicata was clearly no exception. I really enjoyed the contrast of the creamy Alfredo sauce against the marinara. The chicken was breaded and fried perfectly and was delicious. We were much too full for dessert, but vowed to try it next time. Overall, great experience! read more

Awesome place. Delicious food! Friendly staff! Breakfast options are also delicious.

Delicious! Take out family size pins was bigger and more filling than expected. Great crust!

I had heard great things about the pizza and patio at Pizzicata, so we finally decided to check it out--but ended up going for brunch, and I'm so glad we did. The patio really is beautiful, but it was a bit too hot when we arrived, so we sat inside. The interior is spacious and welcoming, and the brick pizza oven is seriously impressive. The breakfast entrees are reasonably priced. I ordered the quiche of the day (Lorraine), and we shared a large cinnamon roll. The quiche was excellent--super flavorful with a delicious, well-made crust, and even the side salad felt thoughtfully done. But the real star was the cinnamon roll. It was, without exaggeration, the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. It truly lives up to the "pillowy soft" description--completely drenched in frosting with a huge pat of butter on top. Over the top in the best possible way. Now I'm excited to come back and try the pizza. I can already tell the patio would be perfect in the late afternoon once it's shaded. Great service. read more

Outstanding Neapolitan pizza. Great lamb shank, great service. The patio is a great area to dine

Great view of the golf course! Very casual place with great food and refreshing drinks. This restaurant has golf course views and a very friendly servers. The pizza here is cooked in a high heat pizza oven and comes out with a crispy and slightly charred crust which we really enjoyed. I tried the arancini and calamari appetizer with pizzacata for dinner. read more

My friend and I ate breakfast there on Wednesday, October 15. The menu prices were very reasonable. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. I ordered the Carbonara Scramble which consisted of bacon, sausage, onion and cheddar jack cheese scrambled with 2 eggs. It also came with a slice of toast made from homemade bread. The price was $13. My friend ordered the Green Chili Omelette consisting of eggs, green chiles, cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, covered in green chile sauce topped with pico, sour cream and avocado. Her dish also came with the same 2 sides. Both plates were delicious and hit the spot! We sat in front of a large window which overlooked the beautiful golf course. We did notice flies on these windows as we ate. That was the downside of our dining experience. The women's restroom was closed so the men's was designated for both men and women. The toilet in the stall I used wasn't working as well as it should have so there might be a sewage issue??? read more

Something has changed. The last two times my pizza skimped on toppings. Okay not too much of a big deal. Last time we were in for dinner same thing. No bread or water was brought to the table. The waitress seemed disinterested in serving the table. At the end of the meal she didn't offer to see the dessert menu, I was going to order a dessert, but she seemed bothered so I passed on it. We usually have great service. Don't think we will go back if this is new management or something. read more

Initially I visited the restaurant in Carefree and I had a wonderful lunch. Fantastic staff, delicious food and a very comfortable atmosphere. Sadly, I was recently at the Mesa location and I was extremely disappointed. It seemed like there was only one server. The server didn't introduce himself. We ask if four adults could eat one large pizza, he didn't elaborate and just said yes. When the large pizza arrived at our table I thought we were getting a complimentary appetizer because our order was talking so long. We asked for a second pizza with a special request, our waiter said he would ask the chef. Our server disappeared. We were left sitting around wait for our second pizza. A guest in our party got up to use the restroom and discovered that our pizza was complete but it fell on the floor. Rather than keeping the table informed and letting us know what happened the restaurant staff just left us sitting outside. I really wanted to order dessert but again our waiter blew us off. We got up, paid for our meal and left. I recommend visiting the location in Carefree. read more

To toast my 900th review on Yelp, I knew I needed to do something a little special and go with someone to celebrate. Who better than my Yelp Bestie/Cousin Chelsey H.?! This location has been bookmarked to try as I saw a Yelp friend review and saw they had Caprese. If you know me, you know I'm a Caprese aficionado and always looking to see who locally has the best Caprese! When you pull into the very large parking lot, you will want to enter from the right side labeled patio. It can be a little confusing as we walked to the left as it was labeled restaurant, but it was the golf resort side. Once we entered, the hostess was very friendly and asked if we wanted a window view which was a nice touch. Genuinely amazing how beautiful the view was as we both witnessed a sunset and the rolling in of a monsoon storm. The beauty of Arizona in the summer! To start the meal, we began with Caprese which despite the menu I didn't realize didn't come with balsamic. Shame on me for not reading it fully lol. I personally love balsamic glaze and/or balsamic vinegar, so we asked the waitress (receipt says Serena - we didn't catch her name sorry!) who grabbed a bottle which added the little something I felt it missing (personal preference). Before we could even finish the caprese salad, the beautiful vegetariana pizza came out. Pictures do not do it justice as this pizza was perfectly crunchy and the vegetables cooked perfectly! Since we were on a roll, we ended the night with the brownie that's topped with vanilla gelato and whipped cream. Though the texture didn't seem quite brownie-like, it was incredibly rich and delicious! Ended the meal on a sweet note. Definitely recommend this location if you are in the area, and when I have a craving for good pizza then I'll drive the 10 miles from my house to try this place again! read more

Amazing pizza with an amazing view! It's prime patio season and the Pizzicatta at Painted Mountain golf course has one of the best. They serve two different styles of authentic Italian pizza, both out of a fancy pizza oven straight from Italy. Each bite is bursting with authentic taste from fresh ingredients. Next to the pizza, the meatballs are my favorite thing on the menu, but I've yet to try anything that I don't like. The homemade pasta and deserts are also delicious. read more

Sitting on an outdoor patio , January with a view of the golf course and mountains beyond and great food to come. Three of us came for lunch and wound up with neopolitan style margherita pizza . Crust was awesome, tight with a great chew. Well cooked and ample sauce to cheese ratio... it's the proportion folks. I like mine a little stiffer on the crust but I ate the entire thing, followed by ice cold peroni in a glass. Service was perfect.. lovely server, good knowledge ( I mean he hails from Umbria) And he knew how to bring food with a flourish. Grazie, prego, you get the idea. And the basil on the pizza is not scorched to ash, thank you. It's placed on the pizza out of the oven. We spent two hours chatting relaxing, Italian style. No push to change over the table, no hanging out for the end of our luncheon. This was service , perfect service!!! And the view, and the food. Epic! read more

We had heard good things about this restaurant and came here for dinner. They had a very extensive menu. Pasta made in house, amazing pizzas and Pinsa which is an old Roman pizza idea. We ordered the meat lovers pizza, the Regina Margarita pizza, a salad, and the Arancini. Everything was very good. The pizza, both of them. Were absolutely incredible ! They have a fabulous pizza oven here in the restaurant that must be magical. The pizza specialist is Chef Matteo. We sat on the balcony which overlooked the golf course. As the sun went down, The gentle lights come on. ( See Photos )They had live music outside, not too loud but , a nice volume. We also had a great server, Zach. We got to meet the owner, a real Italian from Italy and the pizza chef. Also Italian. We found the restaurant is amazing. The ambience is beautiful. So excited to have good pizza in Mesa. read more

I did not dine in, I picked up. It had been my first experience eating from here and I was very excited. I ordered a pepperoni pinsa ramona and a pizza napoletana as well as a chicken Alfredo. It came out to a total of around $60 so my expectations were a bit high since it was pretty expensive. Much to my dismay, the food was a disappointment. The romona and napoletana were rather mediocre, they tasted like a poor quality cheap pizza. The chicken alfredo had absolutely no flavor. The sauce tasted almost like milk while the chicken also had no flavor as if it had been boiled in water. Unfortunately I will not be eating from here again, but I hope the quality improves. read more

Horrible 2 yrs ago and it's still horrible Decided to give it another try tonight. Ordered a cheese pizza and asked if they can put 1/2 pepperoni. The waitress said we can't do that. Then I asked the manager, he said no because it will melt to the other side - or something of that sort. Ok but it's my pizza so if it melts to other side it's ok. They would not do it for me. What "Italian" restaurant doesn't do 1/2 pizzas. This place is a joke. read more

This place is situated on a golf course. The inside is very nice but if the weather is nice you can't beat the patio the overlooks the course. The menu is extensive and eclectic. A wide variety of homemade pastas and calzones as well as salads and desserts. But the real winner here is the variety of pizzas. I e tried 3 pizzas and 2 pastas and every bite was delicious. Amazing variety of flavors and everything fresh. Lastly, the service is top notch. Friendly, efficient and attentive. Highly recommend - we will be back. read more

OK so finally had opportunity to go back and try the past dish. It was nice to be greeted by our first waitress who remembered us and welcomed us back. She also welcome people behind us that came month ago.. That was impressive. Way to go Megan. So it was pretty busy for Tuesday night which I was happy to see. Initial contact from our new waitress Paola took little long but I saw she was busy attending to other tables. But once she came to our table rest of the service was outstanding. Ordered Farmhouse salad to start which was really good. Nice combination of greens and they all tasted fresh. Salad dressing was also yummy. Then off to long awaited pasta dishes (which ended up being like 10 days ) already had pizza to go 3 times prior. Ordered the Bollognese Dello chef and lasagna as main dish. My dish Bollognese Dello chef.. I don't know what to say.. Looked yummy first initial taste I didn't fall off the table and had my moment of silence.. But man it was still yummy.. First I thought the portion wasn't big as I expected but as I was eating I realized it was perfect amount. Not a big fan of lasagna in general. But man I would say this lasagna was one of the best I tasted at a restaurant. Cheese was nice and yummy not over powering. One thing I was little confused was the extra tangyness in the marinara.. Never had that flavor of Mariana sauce on lasagna but still tasted yummy. Over all I was very happy with the dishes. I'm so glad I finally have my favorite local Italian restaurant that is also close to me. . Also loved the fact that manager or owner (I don't remember ) that was walking around the table greeting guest and asking how things were. That was very nice extra touch, you don't see that much anymore. I did ask him as to why they didn't carry certain type of pasta dish I love.. He did inform me that they are adding some new dishes to the menu.. Which made me smile.. .. This place gona suck all my money dry. . I ain't gona lie, after my dinner I was tempted to order pizza to go.. (I love their pizza ). But my belly told me I shouldn't.. So I opted not to.. Thank you guys for opening this place... read more

We have always liked eating there. Before the change over and ownership, we couldn't get enough of it. We went last week for the first time in about a month and the food was completely different from what we expected considering we had eaten that many times. It didn't even resemble the same taste or quality. We also were never offered any bread, we had to remind our server what we ordered, we also wanted to have him place our entrées in to be made because they always made the food fresh and we knew it would take 10 to 15 minutes. Instead, our entrées were given to us in two minutes. It was nothing like we thought it would be. The flatbread was made with processed cheeses; not the usual that we were accustomed to. For what we paid which was over $100 I don't think we would go there again. Severely disappointed. read more

Went here for my hubby's birthday with our family. Server Ben is extra helpful and from Philly like I am so it felt extra "at home". The pizza dough is amazing-they do wood fired Neopalitan style- and the pasta was house made and delightful, the bolognese in particular was a huge hit. Where they fell short for me was dessert- cannolis were meh but the cocktails and food were pretty spot on. Nice place with beautiful views of the golf course and TONS of seating. We never worry about getting in here. Great place to day drink and munch on pizza!!! read more

We were in Northeast Mesa the other day running some errands and decided to stop at this restaurant based on the outbreeding and the fact that we were hungry for some Italian food. The restaurant's been open for a month it's at the painted mountain Golf course so they have a great patio overlooking the golf course. It was a little bit of a cool night and we sat on the patio and unfortunately there were no heaters because they did not have any propane for the heaters which is kind of a big mistake and part of the reason why I didn't give them five stars. The service was outstanding though. We ordered a Caesar salad the split and it was delicious. The lasagna was outstanding The only thing that I would recommend is just a little bit more marinara on the plate with the lasagna it was a little on the dry side. The sauce was delicious though. My wife got the linguine with meatballs and it was also delicious. The pasta noodles are homemade which I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference that makes when you're eating Italian food. The bread which you have to ask were by the way is house made and it is perfectly prepared. I will be stopping back again in the future hopefully they will have heat for the patio lol. I want to try the pizza too. They have the so many pizzas to choose from. read more

Tucked away in the golf community of Painted Mountain, you're greeted by a large patio with string lights and Italian music- Sinatra, Buble. The chefs might be seen tossing pizza dough to entertain the crowd. There is a small bar and huge inside restaurant that could easily accommodate large groups. The place just opened so I'm giving a lot of grace, I would love to come back and update to a 5 star review. Our server didn't seem very well trained, she never took our menus away or our salad plates and empty glasses and we had to ask for water refills. The red wine I ordered was $14 and was maybe 4 oz. Tiny. It was served at room temperature. I asked if they had any chilled red and they don't. Red should be slightly chilled imo. The Old Fashioned was small and had regular ice instead of the traditional large cube or ball. Superfood salad, again a very small portion for the price but it was fresh and tasty and the house made dressing delicious. We asked for bread, it was brought with no butter or oil until we asked. I think it was sourdough but it was very good, dense with a nice crust. I ordered the homemade Gnocci with Gorgonzola sauce and the sauce was rich and full of flavor. Perfect dish. Husband ordered the Chicken Picatta and other than the pasta being a bit undercooked (just a bit under el dente) it was perfect. It was our anniversary so the owner suggested a special desert - I don't know what it's called but it was almost like a donut or begniet, fried, sweet, drizzled with Nutell. Perfection! read more
