I think I was there the night the salty wine lady was there. She sent her glass back three times insisting her wine was too salty. The bartender even opened up a new bottle for her but that wasn't good enough. I think that lady's taste buds are off. Pizza here is delicious. We have it as least once a week. Everything we've had a Capri has been great. Their marinara sauce is some of the best I've ever had. Their chipotle panini is a delight as well! We always sit at the bar when we go. Tracy is a wonderful bartender who makes delicious drinks. From Monday - Thursday, I believe it is from 4-8 they have half price appetizers at the bar, which is a great deal. Mozzarella sticks for like 4 bucks, unheard of! They give you about 10 too. I am a huge fan and will continue to go. You should check it out too. read more

Really nice on the inside. I've had several different meals and they've all been great. Large portions. Reasonably priced. We will certainly be back! read more

Amazing thin crust Italian style pizza. Hidden gem of Reading/North Reading. I got a large cheese pizza and it's probably one of the better pizzas I have had in years in the area. A true thin crust. Perfect combination of cheese and sauce. If you don't like a ton of sauce on your pizza I definitely recommend the North End style thin crust. True perfection. I also tried the meatball appetizer and they were perfection. Like a meatball you would get in the North End. I will be back. This was amazing. read more

This place has good pizza and good prices, it's my go-to for pizza in Reading! I always get takeout and parking is easy and a convenient location near downtown. read more

Pizza is best eaten in person at the restaurant. Recently added a big interior bar in back which feels odd and wonderful all at the same time. read more

Had large Pizza with, brace yourself, anchovies. Delicious. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Thanks.

We ordered from Cafe Capri for our Holiday Soiree. They were extremely kind, polite, and helpful. We ordered the food ahead of time, and it was delivered the day of the party free of charge! We ordered Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Marsala, Baker Ziti, and Cheese Lasagna. The food was hot, fresh, and DELICIOUS. Our guests loved it and ate it up quick! I would definitely recommend them for catering as they have a variety of Italian cuisine offerings at a very reasonable price. read more

Nice looking g pizza Italian restaurant. Food is ok but not special. Calxone meat was chopped up. I have teeth so it was weird to me. Wife spilled some wine. Waitress brought another glass, she charged us for it but never came back with paper towels to wipe it up I went to men's room to get towels. That type of service is unacceptable to me. I won't go back read more

About as good as a local pizza and pasta joint can get. Their chicken and broc & tortellini in cream sauce are both great choices. Just gave the place a nice facelift. Sometime a bit crazy with large groups with many screaming kids..... read more

Cafe Capri is a great Italian restaurant that's tucked away, near the Burger King in Reading, MA. Good food and polite staff. Free parking. Even during take out only stage, the quality of service was very good and using the restrooms was permitted. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been looking for a new pizza place. I tried the North End Pizza and I thought it was pretty good. I decided to return and this time I had a panini sandwich. I was asked if I wanted fries or pasta salad. I hardly eat fries and I don't care for olives which were in the Pasta salad. I asked for a side salad instead.. To which the person rolled their eyes and said it would be an additional $3.00. When I opened the bag when I got home I couldn't believe it , it was the smallest salad with the worst end of iceberg lettuce, one small slice tomato, one sliver of onion and pepper! What exactly cost three dollars here... I could have made this for .25 cents!! Rip off!! So disappointed!! 1/25/16 Cafe Capri has contacted me and offered me a gift certificate. That is awesome customer service! read more

Cafe Capri - Pizza Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

We decided to go a second time based upon the wonderful meal we had over a month ago. We went on a Friday night around 7:15. When we got to the hostess stand, we were told by someone behind the bar area that someone would be with us, shortly. We waited for about 5 minutes when the hostess came over and told us to wait just a minute. She followed another server (the funny one we had last time) into the bar area, then came back out, got the menus and had us follow her to the other side of the restaurant. She took us to the booth area. The ones that were open had duct tape on the seats, some more than others. She sat us at one with the lesser amount. Sitting 3 on one side and 2 on the other minimized who sat on the tape. We perused the menu and our waitress came over about 15 minutes later. By that time, we were ready to order. After placing our orders, she took the menus and left. She seemed to be a bit on the rough side, not sure if it was a bad day for her? We got our drinks except, for my husbands beer, which we had to ask for after 10 minutes or so. My son timed it and it took us 45 minutes for us to get our food. Bread came out quickly but it was tasteless and looked just like any other loaf of bread you could buy at the market. One kids plain pasta was fine. One large cheese pizza which tasted strange. I couldn't identify the ingredients used, but it was like a bad combination of oregano and vinegar. I ordered the Panini Chicken Codder. It was grilled chicken breast with mushrooms, provolone cheese, spinach and thousand island dressing. It was disgusting. The bottom bun was soggy and the entire sandwich tasted like spinach. Nothing had it's own taste. The onion rings I asked for were typical bagged, frozen, barely-any-onion-in-the-breading kind of rings. I didn't finish the sandwich or the rings. My husband had a panini with a some kind of roast beef/cheese steak and he said it wasn't great. We aren't sure what happened here. Our first experience as wonderful, although we noticed the decor needed to be fixed and cleaned (dirty mirrors, water stained ceiling tiles) but this one? Our hostess was bordering on rude, seemed harried, our food was awful. I wonder if it changed owners in the last month or something. It will be a long time before we ever go back here and spend money. I jokingly said that maybe RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE should look at this place... read more

Went there for lunch with a friend. When we walked in front counter person was on a personal phone call. So we didn't start out right. At lunch you order and sit down. We just got sandwiches. Just average nothing spectacular. Although the fries were tasty. Really got the feeling we were bothering the staff by coming in. Not overly welcoming The bathroom obviously wasn't cleaned since someone left a pregnancy test ... negative lol I would skip this for lunch read more

Service is terrible, Place was over 1/3 empty and still had to wait for service. Food took longtime to get to table Food was terrible, had hamburgers , not sure how they got them so dry. They do not even toast the bun They are also expensive for what they offer. Go somewhere else read more

When last night for dinner. Seen this place a million times and never went in. The place was spotless, people were all friendly, food was outstanding. We had 2 pasta dishes that was some of the best that I have had in the area. My salad was forgotten but not on bill either. They has a little function going on and I think maybe that was the reason. Will 100% go back soon. looking forward to having the BBQ and Pizza read more

Understand the context here: suburban wasteland pizza place. If you understand that going in then you won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll be quite happy with it. They offer a few different styles of crust (thin crust, colossal, traditional) as well as a long list of "gourmet" topping combos in addition to the regular pepperoni et al. I typically get the large thin crust tomato fresca. Crispy thin crust, fresh tomato chunks and lots of garlic... it's consistently good. It's also my current front-runner for the entire Reading area. read more

We usually like this restaurant as their pizza is fantastic! However, we thought we would try some wings and a salad to go for a change. The salad was good (Caesar), however the wings were so disappointing. One order had around 7 or 8 of the tiniest dry little wing pieces I've ever seen. There was barely any meat on any of them. We ordered the plain ones and they were dry as a bone and looked like they were cooked days ago. We were so hoping they would have fresh meaty juicy wings. We will certainly return but not for the wings. read more

I've been ordering pizza from Capri since I was a kid (like 25 years ago). Great pizza and very consistently good. I would suggest picking your pizza up rather than delivery- nothing worse than a less than hot pie coming to the door with the delivery guy. They are generous with toppings and use quality cheese! read more

Order the North End pizza. Ask for Extra Thin. They got two different style pizzas. North End is more thin and they got regular pizza which is thicker. The pizza reminds me of Bianchi's in Revere Beach. Has that Orange color to it which is cheese mixing in with the sauce. Nice and oily. They even do slices at the bar - cheese and pepperoni for under $3 and good size. Definitely best pizza in that area.

Best pizza in Reading by far, subs and dinners excellent too so I love to go there. One beef I have, keeps them from five start is soggy fries. I'm talking every time over many years never ever ever gotten a crispy Fry. Please keep the fries in longer read more

New to area and trying to find our go-to pizza joint. We got a large cheese pizza and some buffalo chicken fingers. Pizza was pretty good and reasonably priced - thin Italian-style crust, cooked perfectly. Could've used a bit more cheese and the sauce was a little on the sweet side for me but definitely still a solid pie. Buffalo tenders were generously sauced with just the right amount of heat. I saw a few dinners go out while I was waiting for our pick up order and they looked yummy, we will back to try those soon. read more

The hubby & I moved to Reading recently and this has been our go to pizza place. It is ALWAYS busy (which is a good sign). My new fave menu item is the toasted ravioli (pictured).. paired with their red sauce, it's a little piece of heaven. The hubby who is a pizza snob says this is the best pizza around. They have great subs, salads. We haven't had a bad meal yet. The service has definitely gotten better, very attentive and warm. Parking can be tricky if you go during prime hours, we park at Burger King a lot. Enjoy! read more

Cafe Capri - toasted ravs - Pizza Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

A large spacious cozy place for lunch. The menu offers many different items from quick lunch affair to lunch sized portions of some favorite dinner classics like steak tips or veal parm. Grab a booth and sit down and enjoy a comfortable lunch hour watching sports or other shows on the overhead TVs. Prices tend to be a bit higher than other places in the area, but they do offer a larger and cozier environment with padded booths. read more

Not bad, but not great. Expensive, considering the decor/atmosphere... which is poor. I had Chicken Fra Diavolo. Big serving of fusilli, good amount of chicken, a slightly spiced sauce that reminded me more of weak buffalo style sauce than anything Italian. OK at best, not outstanding, and not what I wanted. My daughter had Chicken parm with fusilli. Again, huge portion but the chicken was coated with a soggy breading. Sure, kids like it, but it's not really good. My girlfriend had an appetizer portion (5) raviolis in Marinara sauce. Question: Should this, with 2 draft beers and a lemonade cost more than $50? Answer: No. read more

Came in for dinner tonight with my wife & our son (wife and I have been here several times in the past) this was the first visit for our son who was home during a holiday break from college. Every time we have dined here we have had a great meal, their "colossal pizza" is one of our favorites, it is a large double thick pizza (kind of like a Sicilian pizza but not doughy or under cooked) theirs is perfectly cooked with a nice crispy crust and nice sauce and cheese, we add different toppings each time we visit and in the words of our son the pizza "is epic!". I have tried their pasta dishes, bbq meals and seafood and everything I have had so far has been EXCELLENT! Tonight our server was Sara (who happened to be my server that time prior to this too), she is very nice and was super busy tonight running all around the dining room waiting on several tables by herself but was still able to keep everything straight and do it all with a nice big smile! I asked her if I could please have a word with the owner, Michael came over to greet us and I told him how much we enjoyed his restaurant and how nice Sara was and that I wished the restaurant was located in Medford where I live because it is so good!! He thanked me for the compliment and I told him I was going to post this review! So Michael please know we will be back again very soon and I have begun to spread the word that Cafe Capri has excellent pizza, great prices and very nice servers like Sara who I will be sure to ask for the next I am there! Thanks Michael, excellent place you have, see you soon! read more

I have been going to Capri since I was in grade school I was so disappointed that when we got a change of graduation date Capri was unable, even with an 8 hour notice, couldn't make a platter of a dish they make daily. I was almost tempted to just order 10 of the dish because originally we were just going to go there and that's what would have happened anyway if they had kept that date for tomorrow. Oh well I'll go spend my $400 somewhere that can do a same day order for my Twins graduation. It is kinda sad to see the tradition of going to Capri after graduation seeing as we have 3 graduations next year and 2 the following year. So sad read more

Great cheese pizza, charred, great sauce and light cheese. Slices are foldable and crust is chewy. Only had the cheese but what else do you need. read more

Simply MASSIVE menu- find me a person who can't find something they want here and I'll show you a macrobiotic vegan d-bag. Haven't tried the pizza, but rave reviews all around for chicken parm, steak bomb/steak & cheese, fried sides (breaded not battered rings- "crispy as F---" as my man says), paninis, pasta specials, and burgers. Totally solid. (Also really fast delivery just over the border into Wakefield-- call and ask about your address.) Wish there were something this versatile and consistent in our area; we can only only when we go to this one buddy's. Bummer. read more

We used to like the pizza here but the last few times it's been less than average. Ordered extra cheese, but really didn't get it. The last time we ordered 2 pizzas, one with extra cheese and onions the other regular cheese and sausage The two pizza were under cooked and cost almost $40 Sorry but $40 for undercooked pizzas with not much cheese just not acceptable or worth it. Too many good pizza places in the area read more

A Reading staple! I have been in Reading for 27 years & Capri was the first to donate pizza to tee-ball games and/or activities. They also delivered to the field. We have had take out, both pick up and/or delivery, too many times to remember and an order has never been wrong! Always pleasant, always efficient and never let down! read more

The pizza is BOMB! Very flavorful above average pizza but also above average price. $17 and change for a large pizza with extra cheese. I asked for some dressing for dipping on the side and they charge extra for that. I don't like being "nickel and dimed". Their website has a $2 off coupon. Use it. It's for your own good! If your on a budget don't try this pizza. It's too good and you won't be able to stay away. Next thing yah know you're buying a pizza every week... $17 bucks once a week...$884 a year. I work part time. That is equal to 2 weeks pay before taxes . Working two weeks of the year just to support a pizza habit? I'd say it's a problem. I think I'm headed for rehab. Or maybe just a raise. read more

Just moved to the area and trying to find our "go-to" pizza place. We ordered a large cheese with pepperoni and green pepper. Delivery was FAST! And the pizza was delicious. I look forward to trying other items on the menu and would order pizza from here again. read more

Cafe Capri - Pizza Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

This place was very decently priced, and excellent service. I just ordered some steak tips as I wasn't too hungry, and they were alright.

If you know about this place (it's kind of hidden behind a Burger King), then you know how great the food is! I have never had a bad meal yet, and the new menu is outstanding. Now I have even more choices --fish, desserts, fine wines, etc... I love the bar area because it's so cozy, and the amazing, flat-screen TV always seems to have a good game on. And, yes, Capri is a family kind of place, but singles can find a nice spot at the bar to eat, drink, meet others and watch TV...for hours. It's my kind of place to hang out and relax. Can't beat the prices and friendly staff! read more

I have been going to Capri for years. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a really nice bar that has a friendly crowd. The wait staff are all very nice and most of the time are very attentive but never had a complaint with any of them. The food is pretty good and the pizza is probably some of the best in town. Occasionally my family and I will order delivery and normally the food will arrive to the door a lot faster than they say, but sometimes can be slow during a busy night which is understandable. Overall Capri is much better than a lot of the pizza places in town. Never had a complaint with anything whether it be a sub, a dish, or a pizza. All great! read more

Clean establishment. Great food and staff. Would absolutely recommend this place. -8 televisions playing sports and news in the bar -Staff is very friendly -Food is really good -Never packed, seats always available -Decent draft beer selection. Doesn't have everything, but diverse enough to please most people -Did I mention the food being amazing? -Ample parking -Dining room is beautiful read more

I have to say that when the pizza isn't Burnt it's really good... but more than half the time its black on the bottom and crust, if you order pasta Dinners and ask for bread and butter with take out( that they give you free with Dine in) they will say they are out of bread But you can order garlic bread that you need to pay extra for... they never run out of bread if your paying extra!! read more

Love the food, best pizza around. Great place to go with the family. Staff are great! Only gave 4 stars not five due to the fact that the bathrooms are in desperate need of updating. Other than that this is a must try! read more

Capri is good, but lately when I get pizza there it is always overcooked to the point the crust is burnt.

A couple of months ago we ordered the margarita pizza and all it had on it was shriveled up basil. Tonight we ordered a cheese pizza and it was obvious that it had been reheated. The dough was so tough and chewy it was inedible. $16 for a reheated piece of rubber? When it was just Capri and not Cafe Capri it was a lot better--and cheaper. We won't be frequenting this establishment anymore. read more
