Cappy's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

When the food is right, this is perhaps better than any Chicago pizza I’ve ever had. I am a huge fan of pizza pools, give me your sauces, your meats, your tired tropes, and I shall provide the promised pan. The thing is, Cappy’s is a 50% hit, and a 50% miss, especially in the takeaway market. For me it is 20 minutes to pick up a pizza, and 40 minute bake at high pizza pie o’clock. This isn’t an issue, except if I want dinner in less than an hour, which fine, I don’t exactly need.

So if the food is delicious, and my timing isn’t the issue, what is? Occasionally I get home, and find a pan inside the box, they usually appreciate when I return it. This makes the crust soggy though, which means my pool doesn’t hold as well. Occasionally I get home, and find instead of basil, I have bacon on my pizza. I can make that work, though frankly I’d rather just have my basil.

Does this prevent me from returning? It hasn’t yet. I’m serious when I say I enjoy a good pizza pool, and Cappy’s is the best in the area, even with the occasional mistake. If you don’t have complicated orders like large sausage, basil, and green pepper as a typical order, it’s probably fine. The three toppings has always been my order of choice with them, it was after the meatball, basil and garlic suggestion I had on a date there once from the server. The date went well, maybe that influenced the decision, or maybe the rule of threes is more accurate than I realize. I highly suggest for fellow pizza pool enjoyers, try this tasty option twice before making any negative judgements, problems have never struck twice in a...

Service was very good: welcoming without being overly friendly and very attentive to refilling pop. Menus are clever. We came as some friends said it was their favorite pizza place in town. We tried one of each kind of pizza, hand tossed and Chicago style, as well as bread sticks with marinara. The young men in our party all said they liked it a lot and would come back. My husband and I are glad we tried it, but weren't impressed enough to come back ourselves. I liked the crusty, chewy crust of the bread sticks and hand tossed pizza, but the pepperoni half was haphazardly thrown on such that coverage was poor, it was super greasy and the mushrooms we'd requested over all was only on the beef half. The division of the two halves wasn't close either. We ordered the Cappy's deep dish which was advertised as having three kinds of meat and about the same number of veggies but I had a hard time seeing any of that even upon close inspection. I'm not sure if they just mix it all together super fine in the marinara sauce or what, but if I hadn't seen the ingredient list, I never would have guessed it was on the pizza. I saw one spot with a tiny center circle of onion, but didn't see anything else except tomato in the sauce. It was tasty, but not what I was expecting. Personally, I like having big enough pieces of the ingredients that I can tell they're there. If you don't, or have fussy family members, maybe it would be a perfect way to camoflauge it! As for me, I'd rather go back to Roscoe's, but I'm glad I...

First time trying this, was excited. Placed an order for 2 pizzas and an order of bread sticks at 5. Told it'd be ready at 6.

Got there at 6:03, was busy, waited a few minutes while it looked like some dishes were being put away, but they noticed me and I paid. They needed a few more minutes.

I stepped to the waiting bench at the front where I just saw the waitress take somebody else's carry out pizza.

10 min go by, I see them give a pizza out to somebody who came in after me, that person leaves. I go check on my order, that person comes back saying it's the wrong pizza and hands it back to them.

They then try giving me that pizza that I watched this dude pick up and show to them.. I ask if thats what they're doing, giving me the pizza they incorrectly sent out and the waitress said "yeah that might be the pizza he just brought back to us."

Disgusting, this was a horrible, dishonest experience. Could have told me "sorry we screwed up and we're remaking it" and I'd have probably understood. Ended up getting a refund and going...
