Pesaro's Pizza — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

TLDR: Pizza is uncreative but tastes fine, just make sure to ask for sauce to be ON the pizza. Chicken and garlic bread are great here. Don't bother with a salad.

I've eaten at Caprioni's twice now, though I don't think I'll be going back for a third. First of all, the staff is really nice and I got my food quickly and hot, so we started off well. I've tried a variety of food in my two visits, specifically a pizza, popcorn chicken, garlic bread, and a salad. I was pretty impressed by the popcorn chicken which was perfectly crispy on the outside and still moist on the inside, and the garlic bread was fantastic. So many buttery slices perfectly toasted and covered in flavorful herbs. I had high hopes for the pizza with how good the garlic bread was, but was sadly disappointed. The sauce was good but there was VERY little on my pizza and poorly balanced with too much cheese. The crust was good but I really couldn't enjoy it when the sauce was practically nonexistent. Not only was the pizza in general lacking, the options for the pizza was too. The majority of the specials are just the same ten ingredients mixed and matched a bit differently. Literally no creativity here. Give me taco pizza or something interesting if you're going to call it "special". Unlike the pizza, I didn't expect much for the salad and I was right not to. Not only was it prepared bare handed by the same people handling the registers, the iceberg lettuce tasted sour and the knife cutting the tomatoes had clearly been cross contaminated with something else. But this is a pizza place, so...

I wish I could give Caprioni's a five star review (this would be 4 1/2 if it was allowed). The delivery is always incredibly fast and the food always hot when it arrives which is amazing. There are delivery places closer to us who can't do that

The food has always been fantastic. The pizza, while not exceptional, is tasty and better than a lot of local places. The wings are always crispy and flavorful (though I do wish there were a few more choices). Sandwiches and calzones are well above average. This is our primary "go-to" place for delivery.

However, there's always one issue with every order that is just a bit off.

For example, we ordered the Sicilian tonight. It was almost correct. I ordered online and specified extra sauce (which they've done successfully in previous orders) but the little souffle cup of cold sauce came on the side instead of the pizza.

Last time, the cheesesteak was correct but had so much mayo on it that I thought Brad Hellman was working the condiment station.

Another order in the past? The pizza was perfect. But the Italian sub had meat but no lettuce, tomatoes or onions when we just asked for dressing on the side.

Again, these are very minor things, but the fact that it continually happens says that there just needs to be a little more consistency. Barring these little issues, I'd highly recommend them over 90% of the...

I hope the owner gets to see this. So I've been wanting to try this place and finally got around to it. Ordered first time and everything was delicious. Pizza was hot, toppings even and nice selection on menu. Wings a little expensive but I know the situation so not an issue, I do however appreciate the notice on menu about the pricing variation. Poppers and zukes fried perfect, crisp. My only issue was the hoagie, it was a soggie mess. But gave the benefit of the doubt since I've been in this same business and I realize it happens. Second time wings, poppers all great. The hoagie again completely wet. Honestly it wasnt cooked long enough no crispness anywhere on outside of bread and too much dressing just drowned the meat. Again I'm giving you 5 stars because honestly believe it could be a newer employee or just little heavy handedness and you food is delicious even the wet hoagie lol quality meat and cheese...would love to see it little crisper that's all and I am taking into consideration personal preference however that was not the issue. P.S. love the homemade ranch was very thin though 2nd time. Regardless I think you guys got a winner. Place was super clean,friendly staff, done and arrived when they said and again the food is great with the few...
