Lil Capo’s was recommended to me by a coworker of mine. I had the opportunity to stop by, and try their pizza. I’ve never been here before to do any shopping or dining; so please read to the very end as I have something important to share with my experience.
Call me a pizza snob. I enjoy great pizza. I can relate with David Portnoy - El Presidente of Barstool Sports. To me a pizza has four important components to consider: crust, sauce, cheese, and ingredients or toppings.
I ordered a 16” sausage, mushroom, red peppers, and black olives pizza cooked well. The pizza turned out very good. The crust had a little flop, and a crispy outer crust. The sauce had a decent flavor; and the cheese was of good quality and taste. The ingredients were mostly of good quality. It’s the sausage that I wish had bigger pieces of. They were too small being ground up the way they were. I could barely taste the sausage. I would loved to have added onions, but they only use red. I don’t care for red onions; preferring white, yellow, or Vidalia over them. Taste and see for yourself. Red onions have a distinct taste that ruins one’s palate.
The restaurant is clean and offers plenty of seating. Parties of four most suited. The bathrooms are clean. And they offer Coke products in their fountain. If you like dessert 🍨 there’s a gelato case with many choices to choose from.
Lastly, here’s my pet peeve and warning for you. This mall has paid parking for special events. I know of no special event going on tonight. No concert; no festival; and no Cardinals game at State Farm Arena. When I came out to my car there was a ticket requesting payment of $30. There’s no store or restaurant here worth paying for any parking. I will never come here again for this very reason. Absolute bullshit. It pisses me off to no ends. 😡😡🤬 So be warned ⚠️ ⛔️ if you come here. It’s not well marked where Free Parking is. I went back to tell them about my dissatisfaction with this ticket. They’ve said they’ll contact the property manager to resolve the matter. I hope they’re successful, and help me in not having to call and...

At first glance you would think this may be just another regular pizza joint, WRONG
We drive 100 miles Round trip just to eat @ Lil’ Capo pizzeria.
Let’s start with the customer service,
Old school down to the detail. Attentive, respectful, going out of their way to make sure you have the best experience while you are there. None of that new gen stuff always on their phone entitle nonsense.
The waiting time it’s very reasonable but even if it wasn’t the quality of the food makes up for it.
Now let’s talk about the food:
In my experience I’ve only had the Pizza, but they offer a vast variety of food including gelato.
My personal recommendation is the White Pizza and the Hot Honey Roni 👌🏻 also the Lil Diablo if you are into spicy deliciousness.
They have a selection of different flavors pre-made that you could chose from, They will heat them up for you or you can order yours right there.
The cheese factor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The heat “for the spicy ones” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Crust omg the Crust 🙌🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My only complaint if you can call it that is that they can be a bit oily but that is just my personal preference for texture and appearance and it doesn’t affect the overall flavor and richness of the pizza.
Overall our experience have been amazing so much so that we don’t eat pizza anywhere else all of our pizza cravings are satisfied in Lil’ Capo pizzeria.
If you want to have the experience of your life with quality food and good old fashioned customer service You must...
Read moreJust ordered online for the first time and I was flabbergasted at how phenomenal the pizzas were. We ordered the Hot honey pepperoni square pizza, the fig prosciutto and the meatball pizza. I ordered from here simply because of all the awesome reviews and I am glad we did. The square pizza I could eat any day of the week, and I will order it every time we eat here. The great combination of well crafted tomato sauce with an awesome crust and crispy pepperoni, finished with the hot honey it just slaps. Straight gas. The meatball pizza is equally impressive being that the meatballs are ACTUAL meatballs and have a great flavor all their own not just ground meat shaped into spheres. Then they get hit with the triple banger of great sauce, crust and cheese. They just can't slip. The fig pizza was good but wasn't exactly my favorite. It is very thoughtfully crafted and something a bit different. My only complaint would be that it could use some more acidity aside from the goat cheese to combat the sweetness of the fig but I am going to finish it here with a drizzle of lemon or balsamic and smash the whole thing. Also they have a truffle honey that they offer, and it has great floral notes with truffle that just really work well on the pizza. Would...
