Capone’s Chicago Pizza and Beer — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Finally scratched a long overdue itch. I had been umming and aaahing for months on going to this place or not as I had never tried the deep dish style of pizza before (not including Chicago Town microwave ones).

I was warmly greeted by the manager and also warmly greeted and taken to the 1st floor by the waitress. The staff here were great, super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.

There were what looked like a couple of expat regulars who were sat at the bar on the ground floor who both on the way in and out were giving off "What's this guy doing in our bar?" rude/unfriendly vibes. But that isn't the restaurant's fault.

I ordered a coke zero, mozerella sticks with marinara sauce and the sausage/pepperoni small size deep dish at a total cost of about 502k vnd.

First, the mozza sticks, the breading was well seasoned and the cheese was super stretchy but the sauce lacked flavour and felt like it had come from a watered down tin. 6/10.

Next the pizza, the meats were the right balance of salty and sweet, the cheese and sauce were well flavoured and the base was reasonable. Although the crusts were a tad cakey. 7/10.

The atmosphere? Well there wasn't really one. Frosty downstairs from the regulars and I was the only person sat upstairs. Albeit it is a small place and I was there early (from about 5:20pm until 6pm).

So my overall impression? Did I love it? No. But, did I like it? Yes. However personal preference now that I have tried deep dish, I enjoy Neapolitan style much much more.

Taste: 6.5/10 Staff: 10/10 Atmosphere: 3/10 Overall...

I came here craving Chicago Tavern-Style Pizza, and Capone’s delivered. The place itself is small, unassuming, and genuine — a downstairs bar with a clean, comfortable dining room upstairs. It feels like the kind of neighborhood joint you’d find tucked away back home, where the regulars know the owner and the pizza speaks for itself.

I used to work a tavern with my nephew back in the day, and together we must have prepped and baked thousands of these pies. It’s hard, honest work — and when done right, there’s nothing better. Capone’s brought all of that back for me. The crust had that perfect cracker-thin bite, the cheese caramelized just right, and the sauce hit that sweet spot between bold and balanced.

What I appreciated most is that it’s an every working man’s pizza — straightforward, no pretension, just flavor and craft. Capone’s understands what made this Chicago classic special in the first place: not fancy toppings or gimmicks, just heart, hustle, and a damn If you’re looking for authentic tavern-style pizza in Saigon, this is it.

I ordered through their delivery website. With 15% off for direct order delivery and a difference in Grab menu prices, it's quite a bit cheaper than ordering through Grab (even with the 30K/$1.20, based on my distance, delivery fee).

I had a Chef's Beef (270K/$10.65). I wish I had looked up "giardiniera" - I had thought it was a type of cheese. The celery and carrots (from the giardiniera) did not go well in the sandwich, in my opinion. The sandwich seemed to be just in a bánh mì roll and not garlic bread. The beef was pretty well stuffed, but it didn't have much flavor, just "beefy." About a 6 in (or 5 in) sandwich.

Had a deep dish Meat Tornado (430K/$16.95 for the large). It was a deep dish, but it was more dough than cheese and sauce; egg-floury dough. I almost ordered extra cheese, but thought there would be enough as it was, actually not a lot of cheese. The sauce and meat toppings were good.

I had a Top 50 in Asia pizza in D7 not long ago, which was much cheaper (although a different style) that tasted better. This one's okay, but for the price a little more than I'd want to pay to...
