    We ordered the "Johnny Torrio" deep-dish pizza, which is loaded with Italian beef, Italian sausage, hot giardiniera, and peppadew peppers. The pizza was excellent; the generous amount of red sauce kept it incredibly flavorful without being dry. The mozzarella was perfectly chewy--not too wet--which really complemented the overall texture. I also loved the peppers, as they added a great spicy kick to the dish. Overall, it's an excellent spot! It's a smaller restaurant and we had a 40-minute wait for the pizza, so I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation to ensure you're seated quickly.

    Great restaurant! Came on Memorial Day weekend and didn't have to wait in a long line. We ordered the Caesar salad and got the anchovies on the side. I ordered the meatball pasta which was very good the pasta noodles themselves were terrific, and then we ordered the spicy vodka pasta which was also great. The portions are very large so I say you could definitely share because we all ended up eating maybe about half of our meal and then taking the rest home. The plates are a bit pricey, but you are getting a large portion. The inside is very nice. It is a narrow space so it creates a more intimate restaurant atmosphere and the service was great, but if I was coming here again, I would definitely share a plate and be very satisfied.

    A wonderful blend of good traditional Italian food- served in large quantities- plus excellent friendly service made our first-time visit to Capo's a WIN. We did NOT order the Detroit style pizza but it looked very appetizing when served to other tables around us. The Pistachio Cannolis were the topper of a fine meal, we will be back!

    Despite having a reservation, my time at Capo's felt a little rushed. We were done and dusted in just over an hour. I ordered an Italian soda but I suspect it was just sparkling water with some syrup added to it. The lasagne was quite bright and acidic, with lots of tomato sauce. The chicago style deep dish was the same - similar to Blue Line. If you love that flavor profile, you'll love it here.

    What can I say? If you want to feel like you are the most loved at a dinner location then head over to Capos. They treat you and seat you like family. All Pies can be shared, for real, the sizes are insane! You cannot go wrong starting off with a Crisp drink from the bar, which is themed towards high crafted cocktails, and a full bar that specializes in whiskey! For starters, order the garlic bread, 7.5/10 or meatball appetizer 11/10, either way, you will be FULL JUST FROM THE APPS. Moving to entree, if you aren't getting a Detroit style pie, please order the thin cracker crust Margherita!!! It's unmatched, so good! The pizza isn't just pizza, it's beautiful and delicious 11/10 There is no room for dessert ever, but if you eat it family style, anything is possible!

    Great restaurant but limited in non-pork options! We visited Capo's for our friend's birthday dinner, having made a same-week reservation. The interior had a classic vibe with a metal tile ceiling, red leather booths, and a bit of a mafia theme. For drinks, we got a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was solid. We also ordered a Caesar Salad to share, which was phenomenal. Every piece of romaine lettuce was evenly coated in dressing and parmesan cheese. For pizza, I wasn't quite sure what to get. I wanted to branch out from the classic Margherita, but almost every pizza had pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto as a topping. I tried to order the Dillinger (no bacon) in a cast iron pan, but was informed that the crust contains pork lard and only Detroit-style would be an option. The server also did not allow us to make any other modifications, which was fine. The Detroit Style Dillinger was a HUGE meal. I liked the way the flavors came together, especially the marinated chicken and the cream sauce, but Detroit style is just way too much crust for me. I couldn't eat more than one slice! My friends loved their Cracker Thin Little Italy and Cracker Thin Bootlegger, which looked way more manageable. At least we had plenty of leftovers for the following day! They also brought the birthday boy a complimentary Cannoli, which was tasty. Overall, worth the visit, especially if you don't have dietary restrictions!

    The overall rating for this restaurant is a 4 but the food specifically is closer to a 3 or 3.5! The service was good so that was nice and we like the ambiance that was also a plus. It gave an old school Italian joint vibe like many places in that area, booths, tables bar and arches. We finally decided to try a deep dish pizza after years of saying no, unfortunately its not our thing & not even close to matching NY style pizza or Square pizza bummer. The one thing on the deep dish I enjoyed was the crust it wasn't too thick & had good crispiness/ flavor. Pasta bake was bland and absolutely tasted like something I make at home all the time. It needed less chunky cheese and more finesse. The two apps were good but not super flavorful or stand out. The only thing I really enjoyed was the artichoke dip and that was a bit runny. It was fun trying a different spot but not likely to return.

    The Bootlegger - Detroit Style
    Matt D.

    Service was a wonderful. Everyone was very attentive and accommodating during our dinner. The Bootlegger Pizza was also very good. It had a great flavor to it though its combination of sweet and savory flavors. The ricotta on top was a pleats touch. The Cesar salad and pesto rigatoni were lacking. The pesto tasted a bit off for my taste. Overall a good experience. I would absolutely come back to have more pizza.

    Best. Deep Dish Pizza. Ever. I have had Capo's bookmarked for years and finally visited for the first time. Walking in Capo's is like being transported to the days of prohibition with Al Capone. An old school speakeasy that is mafia themed, with photos of old mob bosses and well appointed bar & dining areas. There's also seating available outside to enjoy the nice summer weather in North Beach. But how was the food? Old Chicago Deep Dish: the crust at Capo's is the best I've ever had in a deep dish. The meatballs, red sauce mixed with the ricotta was creamy, comforting, and hearty. The combination of textures and flavors made it the best deep dish pizza I've ever had. Thin crust tavern style pizza: crispy, thin crust with a nice thin layer of red sauce and cheese. Nice, light, tasty, and crispy pizza. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Top notch service and it was great to meet Tony. A must eat spot for deep dish and if you are in North Beach.

    Very solid Italian food!! We came here once for pizza and the second time for pastas. Staff were great. They have a good happy hour too which I love! I got the vodka pasta and it was a huge portion. Like this one dish can feed multiple people or provide many meals for leftovers. I think one thing I would prefer is for the vodka pasta to be creamier but I do think it being more tomato based makes it lighter, so depends on what you like. It's a solid spot and I will be back!

    We've super pigged out here so many times! I can't believe I've never written about Capo's until now. First off the service is amazing. Drinks and timing just hit. Let's get a buzz and order way too much! We're big guys so they put us into a booth/table that was pretty comfy, though a little tight. Our biggest guy sat outside the booth so it worked out! Deep dish is where it's at! So many delicious choices. Instead of being trivial about what to order, we ordered way too much. F that cracker thin BS we went full on, deep dish and cast iron ftw! Gawd so good, but enough for 8 but we 4 so here we are. Meanwhile, Tony Gemigani opened up Slice House here in San Diego. No deep dish but amazing pizza to be had. Thank you Tony! Now bring them deep dishes to San Diego!

    Classic Ceasar Salad

    Capo's never disappoints. We stopped in right when they opened at 4:30 on Valentine's Day without reservations and were lucky to grab seats at the bar. By the time we left two and a half hours later, the place was packed. We started with a charcuterie platter and a great bottle of wine. The bar service was outstanding friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. One of the bartenders insisted their Caesar salad was the best in the city... he wasn't wrong. Absolutely fantastic. We also shared a 10-inch Italian cracker-crust pizza that was perfectly crisp and full of flavor. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Capo's continues to be one of our favorite spots in the city.

    Old Chicago Cracker Thin (meatballs, Italian sausage, ricotta)
    Syd G.

    So many great reviews and we wanted a great Italian dinner for our last night in SF. Thankfully I got reservations online because this place gets busy. When we walked in it felt like we were transformed back to old Chicago. The plush leather seats, dark atmosphere and mobsters pictures on the walls. The staff were awesome! Our server was "N" but can't remember her name. Spectacular She was helpful and so friendly. We decided on a couple glasses of wine (very tasty too) and the Caesar salad. When it came out my eyes bulged out. It's HUGE!!! Omg it was scrumptious with fresh Parmesan and the anchovies on top. LOVED IT! She helped us pick the Old Chicago (think cracker crust). The deep dishes were way too much for us to finish. It didn't take long to come out and it was simply amazing as well. Loved every single bite. You have to stop here for the food, atmosphere and service!

    Ask the Community - Capo's by Tony Gemignani

    Can you pick a premade pizza uncooked from Capo's?

    Hello, we don’t offer premade uncooked pizzas at the moment. Take-out and delivery though 3rd party apps are available at 4:30pm when we open. Thank you!

    Is your ricotta using pasteurized milk? Also are all the ingredients in your deep dish and cast iron pizza heated to at least 165 degrees like the meats like sausage, bacon and pepperoni? Thanks.

    Don't be ridiculous. I'm sure it's perfect.

    What is the corkage fee?

    Hello, our corkage is $20 per bottle. Thank you.

    Do you have a bar so you can just pop in for a drink?

    Hi there! Yes, we have a beautiful bar and happy hour from 4:30-6:30pm Wednesday-Sunday :)

    Do you guys have a happy hour? If so, when are those hours? Thank you!

    Hi Anthony, we have happy hour every day we’re open (Wednesday-Sunday) 4:30-6:30pm. Thank you.

    Is the dillinger still on the menu?

    It is, however it is not available for takeout or delivery.

    How much is the 7 fishes pizza?

    That they don't have it this year is crazy! Watched the making of it on TV and seriously contemplated the ridiculous trip from Alberta to San Fran just for that pie! Y'all gotta capitalize on that kinda tv exposure.

    Reservation form says deep dish needs to be ordered at least two hours in advance. Does that mean walk-ins can't order deep dish anymore?

    Walk-ins can absolutely order deep dish, we just ask reservations to preorder so their meal is quicker, the deep dishes take about 40 minutes to make and we can streamline the seating that way.

    Do they have a private room? And if so how many can it hold roughly?

    We do not have a separate private room, we do offer private but outs though. You can find the private dining information at sfcapos.com under the reservations tab.
