I had an amazing experience here! Everything was wonderful--from the atmosphere to the quality of the coffee. My cappuccino was absolutely delicious, one of the best I've had. A special thank you to Alexis for the outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome throughout my visit. It's rare to find a place that combines great coffee with such excellent customer service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great coffee experience. Thank you, Alexis, for making my visit so enjoyable! read more

I saw that this place was new in town and wanted to try it. I stopped by once, but it was closed early without notice. I tried again another weekday, and it was late in the day, so they only had a couple of slices left. Honestly, I did not love it. I have had this type of pizza on my visits to Italy, and this just did not come close. The taste was okay, but it was not enough to make me want to return. On top of that, the portions are way too small for the price. Two square slices of average pizza for nearly $20 is tough to justify. read more

Capriccio - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was okay. I love that they have pizza by the slice, because sometimes you crave some pizza but it's not pizza night. They use good ingredients and the flavor was good. It was a bit soft, which isn't my favorite type of pizza. However, I know my little one would love it--even the option that's just a piece of bread with olive oil brushed on. It's a nice spot for Lincoln Square and I hope it does well here. They have a nice outdoor space for al fresco diners and those with furry friends. It's in the corner that used to be a Subway but this is a better fit I think. The interior is nice, warm, and comfortable. Little parking since this is Lincoln Square after all, but it's worth a try if you like different styles of pizza. read more

The newest pizza-by-the-slice place in Chicago's Lincoln Square! Phenomenal quality where they measure your slice, then add remaining toppings from the base. It can be on the pricier side if you get the fancier slices, but you're paying for the quality. The staff had plenty of recommendations. Loved both the Margarita with fresh basil emulsion Professore with bacon & onions Comfy seating area & they've just set up a patio area outside. read more

With the heart of Lincoln Square closed off to car traffic, I decided to go enjoy the open space on a beautiful day and have a quick bite to eat! The sandwich bread was soft and delicious, but the winner for me was the cheese inside. Capriccio is a pretty solid lunch spot if you're in the area. The employees are friendly and the food comes out quick. read more

Capriccio - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Capriccio is a new pizza joint in the heart of Lincoln Square (located at north end). You pay by the slice and I was expecting the slices to be larger for the amount that they charge per slice. I had the funghi (white base, seasonal mushrooms, burrata, truffle oil) and margherita (red sauce, mozza, pecorino romano, basil emulsion (contains hazelnuts). The funghi was the better of the two (I didn't care for the margherita). The margherita didn't have sliced tomato and fresh basil as it traditionally does so it was a miss for me. The pizza slices were insubstantial and I felt like I could have eaten more afterwards (normally two slices of pizza is more than enough at similar pizzerias). Overall, pizza was okay, nothing exciting. It's a quick meal if you need one in the area. read more

My first trip here did not disappoint! The pizzas were fresh and delicious! I wanted to try them all, but I decided on two: the Professore and Patate & Salsiccia. I can't sit to come back and try other slices! read more

My first time here and loved it. The staff was very helpful explaining the offerings. Ordered the meat lover or whatever it was called and my friend ordered the Margarita, both were delicious. It's cross between a thin and thick crust with a nice crunch. We split an order of Tiramisu it was very good, moist and sponge like. The coffee was just perfect in very way, right temp and delicious. We both had San Pelligrino, interesting flavors. Will be back for sure when in the neighborhood. read more

Not what I hoped for, but good. The location and the space is great. The bread and crust on the sandwiches and slices is amazing. But I'm kind of underwhelmed? All the grand opening pics and vids got me excited. The two times I have been here there has not been a huge selection of slices, and they seem to go real light on the toppings. It's all fresh and high quality, but for $7-8 a slice, at least have some cheese on em? Slightly undercooked too? Dunno. Might be that the place is new. I hope the quality jumps as the place and staff settles in. read more

Capriccio - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

What a delightful spot! I stopped here a few months ago for a drink and a snack, but enjoyed a full meal here today and can now share a proper review. And my review is, WOW!!! So good, so good! My husband and I split several slices of pizza. They were all amazing but the pepperoni was my favorite: such a sweet and unusual sauce. We also shared the focaccia capriccio sandwich, which was amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the place, the awesome people who work here, and the quality of the food. I cannot wait to go back! read more

I'm not sure what magic they do to get this crust so perfect, but it's the right mix of crunchy and chewy for me, who sort of hates both Chicago-style thin crust and deep dish. Also the funghi is my go-to because mushrooms on pizza, truffle oil, and burrata are a few of my favorite things! There can be a little bit of wait but maybe they will invest in an extra oven or two as they grow. Their namesake Capriccio pizza was good, though I was a little surprised because I'm used to a couple other places that have a prosciutto and arugula pizza with a white sauce, and the red sauce was new in this combo for me. Can I tell you how happy I am to find a place in the neighborhood to get coffee and do a bit of work on my computer after 5pm?! Their iced Americanos are *strong* (one size, with 4 shots....and shout out to the staff who informed me of this so I could consume accordingly without staying up all night) and not watered down, which is also welcome and sadly hard to find in the area. This place is a new staple for me so I'm surprised to see mixed reviews...or why someone wouldn't expect that pizza by the slice would be "reheated". I have always seen that as standard so they come out hot and crispy. I hope this place gets the warm reception they deserve. read more

Capriccio - Funghi - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Excited to have a new and different type of pizza place in Lincoln Square. They recently opened and it was nice to see a lot of interest and people there to welcome them. There are tables, couches and window seating available. The space is great for people watching. Given it is new, still working out some of the flow. I was able to snag a funghi slice and the last pepperoni. Both were larger sized slices and I fear that I over-ordered. Despite the thickness, the crust of the funghi slice was light, crispy, and airy. The pepperoni came with a healthy amount of cheese for a mozzarella pull. Excited to try this spot for their coffee and breakfast menu. read more

I'm back in Chicago and went out of the way to go to Capriccio for a European breakfast of hot, freshly made fluffy bread lightly drizzled with herbs, olive oil and sea salt. I also ordered a cappuccino. Their bread is to die for!! I'm speechless. It's really Italian and their cappuccino was just as happy. It's a clean and cheerful cafe. I highly recommend Capriccio. read more

I like this place! It's a unique Italian sandwich/pizza cafe and definitely worth a try. I was walking by and I didn't know they sold pizza by the slice, so I got some to go! I wish the slices were a bit bigger and it's a bit expensive for the portions but the flavor is good. You need at least 2 slices for a small/medium sized meal. I will need to try a sandwich next time. The bread and the pizza was good and the ingredients felt fresh and high quality. Even the prosciutto they used was delicious and seemed fresh cut. It's definitely unique and a great addition to the neighborhood. The menu is small which I appreciate. I will definitely come again to try their coffee and sandwiches. read more

Capriccio - Margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered the potato and sausage pizza. The potatoes were raw, not just slightly undercooked. Got home, stuck it in a 425 degree oven for 12 minutes. Some of the thicker slices were still underdone. Frustrating first and last experience. And, apparently, their "team" thinks it was cooked properly and has no idea what a raw potato tastes like. Trust me, it wasn't cooked. At all. One of the worst pizza experiences of my life for $50. SMH. read more

I had the cabrese sandwich. It was hands down the best bread on sandwich I have ever had!! Would highly highly recommend. Best lunch food in Lincoln square. read more

We headed to Lincoln Square to do some shopping and were pleasantly surprised to see this pizza/sandwich cafe on the corner! We loved the concept- pizza by the slice, looks like everything is made in-house. We tried a couple pizza slices and they were delicious! Loved the dough! We also tried a sandwich which was assembled while we waited. The focaccia was excellent and the pesto was very tasty! If we lived closer, we'd definitely be regulars here. The interior is cozy, clean and has lots of window seating. Very pleasant staff. read more

I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to Cappricio. I was dining there recently and truly enjoying their delicious food when I was approached by someone asking for something to eat. Without hesitation, I decided to buy them some pizza from Cappricio. What happened next genuinely moved me: when the employee learned that I was buying the food for someone experiencing homelessness, he refused to let me pay. He gave the pizza for free so I could pass it along. This kind of generosity is rare. It showed me that Cappricio isn't just about serving great food--they genuinely care about people and their community. They went above and beyond, and that kind of compassion deserves to be recognized. This is the kind of business I'll always support. Cappricio has my respect--and my return visits. read more

A delicious new offering in Lincoln Square. They had run out of pizza (dough needs to warm up before they can make more), so I had the Bachata sandwich. So good! Super friendly staff, and great space. read more

This place has been open a few weeks now and it seems like the demand may be too much for their supply. Have tried to stop by two previous times but they sold out before listed closing time. Finally caught them today. It seems like they have already decreased the size of their pizza slices (or there's no consistency). I've seen prior photos of slices from customers and the size we were given for a pepperoni slice didn't compare. It was also surprisingly flat, which goes against the whole Roman style pizza concept. At 7 bucks, completely not worth it. A slice from Jimmy's is cheaper and larger. Got it for my toddler and he was still hungry after eating it. Husband asked if they could make a caprese sandwich, which they agreed to without any hesitation. Got home to find they slapped greens and cucumbers (no cheese or pesto) onto some bread. I have no understanding of the logic of this. Husband goes back and instead of making him a new sandwich they take the box back, slap provola (not burrata) on the sandwich and give him a side of pesto. Okay... However, the focaccia was light and airy with fresh ingredients but missed the mark as a caprese sandwich. Overall, disappointed with first time experience. There's potential, but not sure if will return. read more

Very expensive, floppy, lite on the toppings, and not even served hot. Had Prince Street pizza two weeks ago for a square slice and it was so much better, and a sliver cheaper.. it was served hot and not skimpy with the toppings. The Google photos and Yelp are deceiving read more

Below average pizza (it's not bad, but it's easily replaceable by any other avg pizza place) that is waaay overpriced. $7.76 for one slice of pepperoni? I know it's Chicago, but even for here that's outrageous. read more

This place is super cute and also delicious. We shared a piece of the Roman-style pizza and the Capriccio sandwich. Both were amazing. The pizza was very flavorful, and the crust was super crisp on the bottom. The sandwich was on the yummiest focaccia bread with Mortadella burrata and pistachios. I'm so excited to have this in the neighborhood. Great to grab for dinner when you don't feel like cooking. I can't wait to try the coffee too. read more

Nice addition to the Square. Enjoyed the pizza, rosa and a special, white pizza with green and yellow zucchini/squash and the Capriccio sandwich. Excellent service and relaxing atmosphere. read more

The pizza is just reheated, unknown what time it was made and the pizza does not taste that good. Did not try anything else so I cannot comment on the other food. Service was good and efficient the wait is not too long especially during the lunch rush. read more

5 stars!! The pizza at Capriccio is absolutely incredible. Some of the best we've ever had. We tried four different slices and loved every one of them. Honestly wish we had room to try them all! The owner, who's also the chef next door at Artango, came by our table to say hello. Super friendly and clearly passionate about his pizza shop. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're trying the coffee too. A must-visit spot! read more

A place for the senses. When I walked in, the wonderful aroma of coffee and fresh bread / pizza in the oven made a way into my mind. Then the eye candy, Capriccio is beautifully designed. The combination of colors, textured furniture and lovely art make a perfect harmony that invites one to be seated enjoy the curated selection of music , art and of course, the delicious coffee and food! The artisan and fresh pizza romana is amazing, toasty crust and soft in the inside, combined with great quality toppings, make a really delightful bite! I personally love the Pizza Bianca. The coffee is also made to perfection, either if you choose an espresso or an americano, so are the alfajores, I tried the guava and it didn't disappoint, on the contrary I find myself craving it. And on the top, very good and friendly service! Chef Guillermo Paolisso is one of a kind. Having spent time in Italy, he brings the taste, style and vibes of Europe to Chicago. Rarely has it been done to this degree of perfection. Una tarde y comida impecable. read more
