Pizzicletta at Dark Sky Brewing — Restaurant in Flagstaff

Pizzicletta was one of the first "talks of the town" when arriving in Flagstaff, AZ.

The Pizzeria was really fun. The pizzas are Brick Oven'd to a perfectly charred bottom with an insanely perfected flavor profile on top that is exactly as advertised. I ordered The Bee's Knees and the Margherita Pizzas. The both came out lightning fast - like within 5 minutes of ordering fast. The Bee's Knees showed off the rich sweetness of Mountain Top Honey, a desert wildflower based apiary located in Flagstaff itself. While the honey is definitely showcased well, it was a bit too overwhelmingly sweet for my particular taste. But it was still very good! The Margherita felt like a safe choice, but that being said, it had its own flavor blast with the tomato sauce as the shining star and the basil being a perfect supporting role. Both pizzas were cooked to a slightly burnt and bitter finished bottom, which is exactly what you'd be looking for in a thin-crust pizza.

With Dark Skies Brewery sharing a space with the Pizzeria, you get the best of both worlds. Locally Brewed IPAs dominate the Beer selection - leaving a few Pales Ales and Browns to stand alone to represent themselves. I ordered 2 flights of the beers, deciding on the Fire in the Sky, Westie, Office Supplies, Respect the Send, Sabbath of the Undead, After Thoughts, Snow Fever, and Flying Chancla. Of the IPAs chosen, the Fire in the Sky and Office Supplies stood above the rest as far as original tastes. If you are looking to "play it safe," the Respect the Send is your best bet. As far as the other brews, Sabbath of the Undead and Snow Fever were absolutely delightful picks. They are both very coffee forward. The best "play it safe" beer that isn't an IPA will be the After Thoughts.

The thing to consider when coming here for both the beer and the pizza, is that they will be tallied separately, in two separate paychecks. While this isn't bothersome to most, some might find this irritating, so it's just something to prepare for if you're that type of person.

The atmosphere is cool, but it does force you to sit at a community table unless you are fortunate enough to grab the one or two solo/couple spots available. If you're not a social person, this may not be the place for you. But if you thrive on that sort of atmosphere, Pizzicletta and Dark Sky might just be the perfect...

Absolutely excellent. I was slightly apprehensive because there were a few previous review comments regarding price. Here is what I discovered - quality ingredients and experienced chef's that know what to do with those ingredients take a few dollars more - so relax - I'm sure there are a few chain places if that more in your budget. When the bill came there was nothing shocking or ridiculous. In fact, for the quality and taste it was a value.

As someone who works with New York and New Jersey Firefighters on the regular, my palate and standards for "legit" Pizza have turned me into a bit of a Pizza snob. One trip to New York will do that to you, once the bar has been set it's difficult to come back down. Only seconded by going to Italy I imagine. Regardless, our experience at Pizzicletta could not have been improved. The staff was friendly, genuine, and awesome. We were immediately treated like family the minute we walked in and felt like old friends when we left. Sitting close to the oven and watching the mastery take place, it was evident there is much love and care that goes into each pie. It obviously works. I literally didn't make it home to Phoenix before I could wait to break into the leftovers. Not only was the Pizza crave worthy, I was stunned by whatever voodoo was happening with the Caeser Salad - like it defied logic. Just writing this review got my mouth watering again. Keep up the good work. Will definitely return the next time we are in Flag, highly...

I had an absolutely terrible experience at this pizza place, and I can't even begin to express how frustrating it was. I went in with my two children, who are both adopted and in their 20s, but apparently, that wasn't good enough for the manager. They demanded I provide documentation proving they’re my children because they're 20 and not 21. This was completely unnecessary and ridiculous since they let other people in with no questions asked.

The worst part? The manager didn’t even bother to look up from his iPad when I approached him. He was completely dismissive and rude, as if I was bothering him with my perfectly reasonable request to just enjoy a meal. There was no empathy, no understanding, just cold indifference. Keep in mind this is at 7pm.

I’ve never been treated so poorly at a restaurant. I understand rules, but this was an over-the-top, invasive, and disrespectful request. If you're going to have policies, at least apply them consistently, and for heaven's sake, treat your customers like human beings. I’ll never be coming back.

We sat down and they came to...
