I was supposed to meet someone here who never showed. They allowed me to wait without making me feel bad for not ordering right away. They offered me water while I waited. I waited almost 20 minutes before ordering as the person I was meeting did not show by then. I sat and enjoyed my gelato and left satisfied. I'll definitely be back! Being new to the area I can see this being a town staple!

As soon as we got there I googled "ice cream near me" and this location popped up! The lady working was extremely nice and helped me decide what to get, letting me "over sample" all the samples. They had a variety of flavors and sorbets. I liked the vibe and the couch, I just wish it was busier. Overall, a fun little mini trip outside the city, and a reminder that these ice cream shops can be well priced! We're not use to these below average prices (compared to PHX)!

The balance was perfect -- smooth, earthy matcha, sweet strawberry, and that vanilla cold foam on top just brought it all together. Not too sweet, not too bitter... just right. The employees were incredibly helpful and clearly know how to craft a great matcha. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The ambience was inviting both inside and out -- a great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your drink. If you're anywhere near Goodyear and craving a quality matcha or coffee, don't hesitate to stop by. This one's worth it.

I finally got the one that is daily up for grans, and I was so excited! My sister and I can't figure out why there's only one bag per day, but it's very coveted so we were excited to see what was actually inside! We walked in to the bakery with the intention of ordering more treats, in addition to what was in the too good to go surprise. When we walked in, it was 10:05, and they closed at 10:30. They had already put away half of their gelato and baked goods in the cabinet. I understand closing time is at 10:30, but if you still have almost half an hour left, I'm sure there are customers that are gonna come in and buy things. There were three parties of people that walked in while we were in there and then sitting out on the really nice patio. There is a little bit of seating inside, but the patio was very nice and there was plenty of seating out there too. The vibe is super cute, and I love the decor. Hopefully next time we go back, we can actually try things because they won't be put away!

Funny enough, my sister & I were watching Nonnas & the first ten minutes made us want the pastries…read more So, we stopped to think where could we get a pastry? I remembered this place. It happened to be a little under twenty minutes away from us so we decided let's do it & they were open late. Hell yeah. There's not a crazy amount of pastries but the selection was great. We got two tiramisus, one vanilla custard lobster tail, some mini cannolis, & the wedding cookies. Everything came out to about $50 so beware, prices aren't exactly cheap. But for one, if you're going to do "bad" then do it right & we also shared with our family of 5 so plenty to go around. & Holy cow, everything was incredible. So indulgent, decadent & rich in flavor. My nephews liked the cannolis, personally they're not my favorite, but if you're into it the mini's are a great option to quench the craving. The lobster tail with the vanilla custard took me by surprise. I didn't think I was going to care for it, but the cold custard was refreshing & the flakiness of the bread was crazy, my taster buds were confused by the textures, but in the best way. They complemented each other well. My ultimate favorite was the tiramisu & the wedding cookies. I honestly wish I had gotten more of the wedding cookies, those things took me back. I grew up eating the Mexican ones & the Italians did it right *applause* But damn, the tiramisu was to die for. I would order that again & again. Perfectly chilled, the dusting of the cocoa powder didn't taste like nesquik--incredible. At first the price had me thinking if we were doing too much, like damn, should we have just gone to Sprouts bakery? But after being able to indulge in a great quality dessert, it was worth every dollar. My only feedback, careful when you're paying at the register. If you're not paying attention, the tip automatically defaults to 18% on the tablet. Only thing I didn't care for. I could see if I was eating at the restaurant, but I just popped in to take pastries to go. So, that was kind of annoying. The service was fine, the girl that helped me was nice, but again I just pointed at desserts I wanted & went home. The location is part of the main restaurant, but it has its own entrance & little room making it feel separate to the Sicilian Butcher. They also carry gelato which I haven't tried yet. I believe they have little tables to sit at also. Highly recommend checking this out so save room for dessert!

While in mid sentence, our chatter was broken by an employee offering a tiny spoon of ice cream. This review is post COVID, and the sample idea while a great model for their business might not be so great for the virus. As we stepped up now to the little kiosk in the middle of the mall, lure hooked us in. We are not here for the gelato, but for the macaroons. The selection of macaroons is good, not great. The girl that aided us in picking out our macaroons was not as friendly as I'm used to dealing with when spending money. I'm not the one to judge so, we picked out an assortment and paid. The whole process of ordering was pretty painless. The only complaint was the macaroons she was trying to sell me were broken; and I had to specify on many occasions that we wanted macaroons that were intact. Aside from a little drama we got macaroons and we were not even looking for some. If you want some gelato this seems to be the place to try it out before you buy it. I cannot speak on behalf of the gelato, but the macaroons were decent. They were not great, but when you have to keep specifying that you want unbroken cookies; you see my point. We ended up with at least a half dozen that were not broken, even after asking and asking for macaroons that were not broken. This sounds redundant and broken; but when a macaroon cost more around $2 each it better be at least presentable. Let's extend an A for effort. Kindness keeps the world working. With all of the nonsense in life everyday we're not going to cry over broken cookies. The macaroons that were intact were good and it's the memories that we created that we will remember. Life is that balance between all of us. Let's wish joy and bliss to the crew here. The owner was actually working during our visit. We did not have direct contact with the gentleman but he nodded at us and extended a polite message after we walked away. After two or three visits here over the past couple months, I have noticed employees that have come and gone. The only constant here, is the gentleman that smiles the most and greets multiple customers at a time. Yesterday, one of the twins wanted ice cream, plus macaroons can never hurt. We made it an afternoon with macaroons and gelato. The owner made sure that all the macaroons were not broken. I did not even have to mention anything either. Let's celebrate the simple things in life, and take them as they come.

Prices are posted nowhere. He made sure to keep my daughter busy in conversation about her gelato while he quickly took my card and ran it without letting me know how much it would cost. Way too expensive!!!!! This stand is located across from one of my favorite stores which is unfortunate because I cringe a bit every time I walk past and have to wave off the incessant owner. Unfortunate that someone has to run a business this way. It makes for an unpleasant visit to an otherwise excellent shopping mall.

Lil Capo Pizzeria 5.0/5 The Closest Thing to New York…read morePizza I've Found in Arizona Growing up in Upstate New York, I admittedly have high standards when it comes to pizza. After moving to Arizona in 2007, I've spent years searching for a slice that genuinely reminds me of home. While there are plenty of decent pizza spots throughout the Valley, very few capture that authentic New York style. Lil Capo Pizzeria absolutely does! Ironically, I first discovered Lil Capo after an Arizona Cardinals game. Like many people, I wasn't interested in paying stadium prices for mediocre food, so I jumped on Yelp looking for something nearby. Lil Capo had outstanding reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did because it's now my benchmark for New York-style pizza in Arizona. The first thing that stood out was the crust. This is exactly what a New York slice should be--thin, crispy on the bottom, slightly chewy inside, sturdy enough to fold, and never overloaded with grease. So many places think "New York style" simply means making a large slice. Lil Capo understands it's really about the balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and texture. Every bite reminded me why I miss pizza back east. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the cheese is perfectly proportioned, and everything tastes fresh without trying to reinvent what already works. Sometimes simplicity executed well is the hardest thing to accomplish. Pizza: 5/5 Service was equally impressive. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. After selecting our slices, they quickly reheated them to perfection and had them on our table within minutes. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria--fast, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable. Service: 5/5 I also appreciated the atmosphere. Lil Capo isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. Instead, it has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel where the focus stays exactly where it should--on making outstanding pizza. It's casual, comfortable, family-friendly, and somewhere you could easily become a regular. The pricing is another pleasant surprise. Considering the quality of the pizza and the generous slice sizes, I found everything to be very fairly priced. Overall Finding authentic New York-style pizza in Arizona has been surprisingly difficult over the years, but Lil Capo delivers exactly what I've been searching for. Authentic New York-style crust Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio Minimal grease Friendly, efficient service Fair prices Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere I've eaten pizza throughout New York my entire life, and Lil Capo remains the closest I've found to the real thing anywhere in Arizona. Whenever I'm on the west side of the Valley--or heading to or from a Cardinals game--I find myself looking for an excuse to stop in. Next time, I'm skipping the slices and ordering an entire pie. If you're a fellow New Yorker living in Arizona and craving a slice that tastes like home, Lil Capo should be at the top of your list.
