Get the chili cheese bread. You will not be disappointed. It is to die for. Also, if you like pastries, try the apple fritter.

This was a great little stop while we were in the neighborhood. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the overall charm of the place and the staff. We devoured the break sticks, which were basically a crispy-yet-chewy use of their dough. With slightly more Parmesan on/in the bread, they could hit a whole other level, but they were already really good as is. The crust on the medium Chicago style pizza we ordered was to die for. It was perfectly cooked, crisp and flaky along the outside and more than capable of holding its own with all the toppings. We had pepperoni, sausage, green olives, and basil for toppings, but they seemed a bit light - especially the meats. A little more flavor and spice from the meat would have helped pierce through an otherwise pretty average sweet marinara sauce, creating a nicer balance. We almost ate the whole pie, but we were able to get the last piece wrapped in foil to take home with us along with a couple pieces of bubble gum (their fun take on an after-dinner mint/snack). Considering I enjoyed the crust so much, I would be curious to try their NY style the next time we visit. read more

Wonderful neighborhood pizza restaurant! Cozy atmosphere and great gluten-free pizza! Their salads are huge! Love coming to the place!

We moved to Iowa from Ohio over three years ago and have been searching for a good pizza. We've tried them all except for the one that was literally the closest to our house. Really good pizza. We got the NY and The Chicago style and we have officially ended our search. A little more sauce on the NY and it would be perfect. read more

We are new to the area & jackpot! This is a hidden GEM!!! The atmosphere & vibe are awesome! Every dish & salad I witnessed being served looked A-M-A-Z-I-N-G The Chicago style pizza puts Chicagos Famous Giorrdanos to shame. Absolutely will be our pizza place. A bonus was our attentive, sweet server, Ms. Bella! She's perfect read more

Went to cabbies pizzeria last night looking at the leftover pizzas in the refrigerator. Pizza was great we got the Chicago pizza. I wore my girl up and reheat the pizza Cappy's second time nothing better. Peggy and I are planning to go back again for the Greek salad Yum Yum.

Cappy's Pizzeria makes fantastic homemade Italian pizza. They're venue is small but I usually make pickup orders and the service is always very quick. The staff were very kind. Practically sharing the same building as Scooter's Coffee, this venue is small but nice. Their pizza is pricey but well worth the price. I felt like I was eating pizza straight out of Italy. If I'm craving a pizza that is delicious and made with love, I will be going to Cappy's Pizzeria. read more

First time we've been to this place, but it will definitely NOT be the last! Food was absolutely amazing, service was top notch, and the kitchen, from where I was sitting, was amazingly clean. I spent a lot of my adult life working restaurant kitchens, and to see a place that clean in the middle of service was so nice! This place has definitely made it into my top three favorite places to eat in Cedar Rapids! read more

Can't get enough of this authentic pizza The crust is the best part. Crispy and delicious. Reminds me of the pizza our family ate back in the 70's. You can taste the oregano, fennel (sausage) and the sauce is perfecto. Takes me back home to childhood. Only negative: If they delivered we would order much more often. read more

Really quaint local spot. Great pizza. Salads are a steal. Small salad will feed 3-4. Service was top notch. Will go back.

Fresh and homemade. Not mass produced and you can taste it. We've ordered several times and every time it's way better than any chain. The only downside is they don't deliver. read more

Legit pizza. Tried the New Yoek style with pepperoni and it was spot on. Light chewy crust and flavorful sauce. You can tell they have a passion for slinging pies! read more

Man, this is some good pizza!!! So fresh and tasty. The cheesy bread was delicious. Loads of cheese with the perfect amount of garlic and crust. Cooked to perfection. The sauce was the perfect compliment to the cheesy bread. We ordered a large Nee York style pizza half pepperoni and half Cappy's. The Cappy's has pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and prolly some other stuff that I'm forgetting. This was one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. The ingredients were fresh, the dough was perfect, just the right amount of sauce. The service was good and personable. Cool atmosphere. The menus are made out of old album covers. I'll definitely be going back to Cappy's. Maybe I'll get the Chicago deep dish next time. read more

I love the atmosphere, even though it's small. The booths make you feel more secluded for a date night! Yummy salad & fantastic pizza!

It was good but not sure if would go back. To me it seemed to be a little confusing on how to order and how to get drinks. It was okay

While we were there, service was slow, and the place looked dirty. I was disgusted by the lack of cleanliness, From the ordering counter, I could see the kitchen and it was horrifying. Food was was but not worth the wait or the environment. read more

Closest you are going to get in Cedar Rapids to thick Chicago-style pizza. Amazing, buttery, flaky crust holds the fresh toppings with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Ask for extra sauce if you are a sauce lover. Dine in and enjoy a fun environment with quiet booths, good lighting, and boxes of trivia cards to keep you busy while you wait. A decent selection of bottled beer is offered. Or, order your pizza for take out. Tip:. Order the Greek salad as an appetizer. It is fantastic. read more

Was in the mood for pizza on a recent business trip to Cedar Rapids so a quick Google search brought me here. I am a "pizza snob" and always looking for a good local pie - Cappy's hit it out of the park! I got the NY style and the balance between the crunchy crust, tangy sauce and toppings was perfect! As is my usual, I ordered a Large and brought half back to the hotel to give to the front desk staff as a treat. Another guest was walking by when I dropped it off and when he found out it was from Cappy's he "seconded" it as one of the best local pizzerias! read more

Cappy's opened a few months ago in the former Emil's Deli location on C St NE and Boysen Rd. This a family owned business where everyone helps out. The people are the best part, they put their hearts into this little business! The first thing you'll notice is how well they transformed a strip mall location into a cozy, 60's retro pizzeria. The tall dark wood booths were hand made by the father and they provide plenty of privacy. The lighting, floors, nostalgic signs, pop bottles, pennants and art on the wall were all done by the family. The menus are pasted over old vinyl album covers. Tiny lamps at each booth emits a warm glow and the Trivial Pursuit cards on the table keep you entertained while waiting for your order to arrive. Don't leave without trying the Greek salad. The sweet and lightly seasoned dressing is the best I've had. It comes with a couple scoops of potato salad in the bowl. I know that sounds weird but it really works. Then comes the star of the show, the deep dish Chicago pizza with an awesome buttery crust that doesn't overpower the toppings. You won't find a better deep dish outside the Windy City! We like the thin crust too. Tip: If you don't mind saving a few bucks be sure to like their Facebook page. They do special offers all the time, when you know the "secret word." Clue: It's not Pee-Wee Herman. But I could see them using that one. :) read more

I am so disappointed. When I first had cappy's pizza, I was so happy. The Cappy beat out even Tomaso's Mombo Combo, which is quite a feat in my eyes. Unfortunately, as the months went by, I feel like the quality of this pizza place has gone down. The first offense was takeout where the crust was black, and I mean burnt to a crisp and tasted bad. I've had takeout where I got home and the pizza had been hilariously tipped to the side so all the ingredients were only baked on maybe a fourth of the pizza (the cheese was still there so I know they saw it and it didn't move in the car) and the last time I was there, we waited quite awhile for a pizza that was soggy. The server said that there was something wrong with the new baker and a lot of dough had just been turning out that way. Yuck. I would have had to eat it with a spoon; I am not exaggerating. If Cappy's can get back on the level they were when they opened, I would go back, but honestly there's enough good pizza places in Cedar Rapids unless someone else buys it for me, I'm probably not going to try it again. Why waste time and money? read more

Order pizza here for the first time. We ordered a Chicago style Cappy's and New York style chicken and spinach and mushroom. The Chicago style was amazing but the New York was hard to even chew the crust and was needing more flavor. Stick to the Chicago style read more

My wife and I each have one thing that's incredibly important to us in a pizza. For her it's the crust. For me it's the sauce. She loved the crust, and I loved the sauce. I can't decide whether I would rate Cappy's Detroit pizza as just above, or just below, my previous favorite in Iowa. It's too close to call. Cappy's is a little bit cheaper, and a good amount closer to my house. So I have a feeling that Cappy's will become our regular pizza spot. They seem to have a standard pizza place menu, with standard toppings, calzones, and sodas. It's also a pretty nice place inside. So, if you're shooting for the whole "I'm not trying too hard" date, Cappy's would probably be a fit. read more

The pizza was good. The deep dish was my favorite. We have tried a bunch of different pizzas there and each order was successful and delicious! read more

The pizza here is nothing great. It needs some more spices to kick up the flavor. They are kinda slow as well. I would try again just to make sure it was not a one off bad night. read more

Good food but too pricey. They had strange restrictions on getting a half and half pizza. Counted 1/2 pizza as one ingredient (1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 sausage were counted as 2 ingredients) read more

What a jip, pizza was the worst ever. Ordered a large $$ Cappy and it hardly had any toppings on it. Litterally only had 4 small sausage chunks and was thin on every other topping. Lots of bread smothered in tomato paste is what we got. Abysmal would be a good definition. Won't be back with my hard earned money. read more

We were in town visiting family and called to order a pizza for pickup. They were out of deep dish pizza so we ordered a thin crust with sausage & green peppers. This was probably the worst pizza we've ever had. It was cold, weirdly shaped, hardly cut. Burnt crust on the bottom and maybe three little pieces of sausage. Terrible! We would have been better off getting a frozen pizza for less money. read more

This is the best pizzeria in the Midwest. It's not only the great tasting of the pizza, or the amazing geek salad( a must have), or the infinite beer cooler, but it's environment of the establishment and the employees. If you ever in Cedar Rapids and are craving a pizza, look no further as this is the place to be! Amazing can't wait to go back 5 stars all the way ! read more

One of the better pizza places in Cedar Rapids area. The gluten free crust is great. Always had good pizza and orders were accurate. A bit pricy but worth it. Definitely worth a try. read more

I was deciding between this place and another restaurant. Once I walked through the door and the smell of pizza hit my nose, I knew that I made the correct decision. Cappy's has a cool laid back vibe. You can help yourself to their beer fridge and they will charge to whatever you pick out. The staff was very nice and provided excellent service. The Chicago style pizza was exactly what I was looking for. It took a while to prepare, but that's to be expected from the style. The pizza was tasty and very filling. It was a little on the expensive side. $18.25 for a small Cappy's (think a supreme pizza). But they were generous with the toppings and was a good enough value. I would come back, but I'd try their New York style pizza next time. read more

The pizza was average and really expensive. And the gluten free pizza was sucky. Don't go here at all. Between the terrible pizza, and the horrible service, I would never go here again. read more

For sure the best sit down pizza joint in town for New York style pizza. I can't speak to the Chicago style but the New York Cappy is awesome! The crust is perfectly cooked. Just enough crunch and chew. The veggies are bright and fresh looking! They have the right amount of tenderness and crunch too. The only downer was they don't have pitchers of beer which is ok. read more

Being from Chicago is challenging when it comes to pizza on the road. Cappy's produced outstanding quality pizza and pick up was easy and fast. What was really surprising was the gluten free crust. My wife has sampled many GF pizza around the country and she said this was one of the bast. She thought their crust was flavorful and crisp. Toppings were fresh and plentiful. Regular crust was great as well! Go there! read more

Hands down the BEST Chicago style pizza in Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha and surrounding areas. The sauce is second to none, the crust is amazing, and the toppings are fresh. If you haven't tried Cappy's because you are just used to ordering from your usual place, I would recommend trying it out! You will not be disappointed! I also love the Greek salad. Get a large, because you'll have to share more than you really want to give up. read more

I am in town on business and this place was recommended/popped up on Yelp, and my gawd, it might be THE BEST Pizza place in Iowa! The staff was super friendly, even on a busy Friday night, the restaurant is a perfect combination of local eatery and fun, and that oven (I'm going to have dreams about that oven) cooks one of the best crusts ever. The sauce is Tangy and robust, the sausage large and flavorful, and the toppings plentiful. I will definitely be back to the place many times while I'm in town, and maybe even when I'm not, it is worth the drive, from anywhere.. read more

I feel like people hyped Cappy's up to me too much, which is disappointing. We decided to try the NY thin "cappy" and the cheesy bread. The flavors were good and the service was great, however the pizza and cheesy bread was super greasy!!! My napkin was saturated with grease just from wiping my hands, it was literally dripping off the pizza and made the crust soggy and chewy. Bummer :( read more
