    Our first visit to Capo Pazzo was certainly a good one. I'm going to say it is a bit hidden, located just off south US41 behind a gas station (Texaco?). Once you see it, a large mural of an Italian pizza maker holding up NY with the Italian flag splashed in the background, you know you've arrived. We were greeted even before we reached the door and offered a choice of dining inside or outdoors. They have a large outdoor area that is shielded from the parking lot, nice, but we opted to sit inside for some a/c. Our server was right over and got us started with drinks while we looked over the menu. She was so nice, attentive, helpful, and upbeat for the entire time we were there, a real pleasure. As for the food, we decided to split their Greek Salad and a Prosciutto Arugula 12" pizza. They offer both 12 and 18" pies. This was not the pizza I would have selected, I'm more a Meat Lovers Supreme carnivore, but it was my wife's choice tonight. I thought the salad was pretty standard, lots of Feta cheese and a generous amount of dressing in a container. My wife left me all the red onion slivers, maybe not her best decision, and took almost all of the olives. The salad was still fine, lots of green. Our pizza was also brightly green, what with all the arugula on top. Like more salad. But underneath was an excellent pizza crust, like they describe on their menu with a bit of NY char. While I missed all the greasy meat, the prosciutto was very flavorful, a top of the line ingredient. A hint of truffle oil added to the mix and pieces of a hard Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano) added more. I have to admit, it was a pretty good pizza.

    Guys, the Romano? Freaking amazing pizza. Pizza of the month maybe, but more like pizza of the year. Packed with flavor, this pizza was spectacular. Thank you!

    We stopped in Capo Pazzo as the first stop of our six stop bolognese tour of Sarasota. My daughter LOVES bolognese! Although the bolognese was good, the pizza stole the show. Capo Pazzo's pizza might be the best I've ever eaten. Really, in my whole life!

    We ate here with our grandchildren tonight. The Greek salad, the garlic knots and the Ziti were liked The pizza crust was very hard. The people across from us asked me if my crust was hard and I said yes. So I wasn't a fan of the pizza or the toppings. My friend back in NY ,who owns a very popular pizza restaurant, told me there isn't enough air bubbles in the dough when this happens. MMy granddaughter rated the ravioli as so so. My wife didn't like her baked Ziti. The service was good. We ate outside which was very pleasant.

    Sicilian crust is perfect

    Sicilian upside down with grilled onion and peppers super delish love the crust is crispy and thick

    Cheese pizza and buffalo chicken pizza

    First time in this area . My baby wanted pizza . Capo Pazzo came up on the search with a high rating and some good reviews so we went ahead and ordered. We got a build your own cheese for the kids and a buffalo chicken pizza for us . We also ordered a cup of marinara sauce and cup of ranch sauce. The pizza crust was burned , the pizza wasn't too tasty, and when I went to give my child marinara sauce, it turned out to be a cup of hot sauce. Not the best experience.

    18" margarita pizza to go

    Quite possibly the best pizza I've ever had! Ordered a 18" Margarita to go. We've also dined in and it was amazing. Great staff, friendly, professional, cozy atmosphere. If you love pizza from the northeast NYC ... GO!

    NY Style with Bacon and Black Olive.

    Found this gem and have dined here twice since arriving in Sarasota. Service is both friendly and efficient here. On the first occasion we ordered Vodka Pasta and Chicken Parm. I quickly discovered that I love their Vodka Pasta Sauce and would order the Chicken Parm with that sauce the next time I was in the mood for pasta. Last night we enjoyed a NY Style Pizza with Black Olive and Bacon. We ordered it "medium char" and it was just perfect. There is always great Pizza to be had in Florida with all the East Coast transplants/retirees. Capo Pazzo is a great find in Sarasota if you have the desire for some authentic NY Style Italian food.

This is only the second time we've seen our 5-year-old completely devour an entire pizza--once in California and now here in Florida. Considering we live in what's supposedly the pizza capital of NYC, that probably says more than anything else about this place. The service was great. Everyone was genuinely kind, and since our friends and family are regulars, they were greeted like old friends and we were welcomed just as warmly. The pizza itself was excellent. Even the basic cheese pizza stood out, which is usually the real test. We also ordered the 1837 and a jalapeño pizza, and everything was demolished without hesitation. We also noticed a solid beer selection, and everyone seemed to be enjoying theirs as well. You order at the bar and they bring the food out, and there's also outdoor seating which looked really nice. Looking forward to going back on our next visit to Sarasota.

Went to go pick up and they were ready like they said they'd be. The pickup area was at the bar which was fine, people already chillin and having some Sat night beers. I had meant to order a Detroit stle vs. the Sicilian but that was on me cus I forgot to ask if they even have D style. Overall seems like a solid place and the pizza was good but not epic!

We ordered 2 glasses of pinot noir which were decent, fried artichoke hearts for the appetizer and two pizzas one cheese and one with garlic, cheese, and little chilies. The appetizer was really good but I think it could have been elevated a notch if the dip was more of a lemon base dipping sauce. The pizzas were both thin and very tasty, nice tomato base, I liked the little difference of crust (thin & crunchy) compared to your normal softer crust on an Italian wood fired pizza. I like when I'm able to have preferences on pizza crusts on any given day. I would like to go back and try something else next time to see what this little spot has to offer. Overall it was a good experience and we will try it again in the future. Food 8.0 Atmosphere 8.0 Service 9.0
