As a first time customer I highly recommend this restaurant. We were indoors most definitely will try outdoor patio seating. Service was beyond my expectation. Our waiter was very kind and patient, he offered great suggestions on appetizers and entrees. Always made sure we had refills on our beverages, overall experience 10/10. Environment was very lively, comfortable seating too. read more

Cibo - La Noce (top) Ostia Salad (bottom) - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Amazing, unique experience! I arrived with the preconceived ideas about being jostled in long lines in a poorly cooled pizza joint, sitting in a crowded restaurant at plastic tables eating plastic food. That misconception disappeared immediately upon stepping through the doorway. Warm, inviting ambiance, full of character. Attending the birthday celebration for an esteemed young man, our table wasn't ready (we were early) and the hostess offered us seats at the bar while awaiting our party. We each had a wine spritzer... may I say that the very few such concoctions I've had bearing that name didn't do justice to what we were served. I've never had anything like this, a "Sgroppino" (I'm partial to strawberry!) and it was perhaps the best adult beverage I've had in a very long time. Many different nuances in a glass. Stunning subtle, many diverse flavors. Mmm. Our bartender was an artist of the mixed adult beverage, a delightful individual with a warm, genuine smile and an encyclopedic knowledge of how to do his job expertly. Rare that you meet someone like this who isn't all measuring cups and shot glasses: everything he concocted was done by eye, and judging by what he made for us, his expertise was immediately apparent. Ben fatto. È andata benissimo, brava. When we'd all arrived, we were escorted to the "garden shed"... a smaller out-building filled with racks of wine, perhaps an ideal place for small wedding receptions or engagement parties. Well-cooled despite our broiling Phoenix evening. We had the garlic bread; someone ordered IL Tagliere, Calamari (no, thank you), and a basket of bread. You know how you go to a hamburger joint and what you're served looks nothing like the photos of their menu? Go to CiBO's web site and look at their menu: What you see in their photos is what you get. One visit and next time you look at their menu online, you'll salivate. Yes, the food is that good. I ordered the calzone. Delicious. Getting through it wasn't pretty... but it was excellent. Huge, very generous entree. Excellent flavors. Our server was delightful, attentive without being a nuisance. Our water glasses never reached empty, and the stories about the birthday boy (and others) were never interrupted. We never made it to desserts. Too much food and amusing stories. CiBO: È andata benissimo, brava. read more

First time at Cibo and it's right up there with places like Pizzeria Bianco and other artisan pizza places! Set in the cutest "neighborhood house" location, you'll usually find a long wait for one of their indoor tables but they have a ton of outdoor spots with misters for the cooler days. We started with calamari (amazing!) and then ordered the Lil Peppa and Capricciosa for pizzas. Add this place to your list next time! read more

Went from 5 to 3 Stars; only because past experiences were so good! Went in for lunch the other day and the service was AWFUL! There were kids at the drink station filling up cups. We were seated and immediately after sitting down I literally couldn't hear anything anyone was saying at my table. Most the customers were crammed into the front right room and it was impossible to hear anyone at my table with loud women surrounding us enjoying lunch (which is fine) but break up the crowd a little.. I immediately stood up and asked to be moved so we could atleast hear each other. The young teen who Sat us was very helpful and moved us to a different table in the back right. When I tried to order the appetizer, I said "Yes, (looking at the waitress) we'd like to split a Caprese ( glances at my daughter to confirm in a questioning voice hesitating at the end) The waitresses said, "ok, I'll come back in a few when you figure it out" obviously not willing to wait a few seconds for a confirmation. We just sat there going Wow?!? That was wild, we also had our pizza orders ready but ended up waiting till she wandered back our way. The entire time we felt like we were keeping her from her kids? Grandkids? We definitely put her out, drinks were not offered beyond the first, I had to ask for a second one. The pizzas came, but not mine. I was informed it was wrong and they had to remake it. After my pizza finally came I realized it was still rather doughy and undercooked. We moved on as my daughters were done eating thier pizza and one of them grabbed boxes and we boxed them and waited to order crepes. We finally got our crepes and mine didn't look gf and was missing the allergy flag. We waited a few and I finally got up and went to the front room, the 2 teen girls (servers? They were serving) were messing around in the front room and almost ran into me when I FINALLY went up front to say My food had been messed up after it was dropped, no one checked back. They kept messing around and then stopped and looked at me asking if I needed help. I said YES please. She went into the side room to the front left and the waitress got up from the table where she was sitting with the other kids (that were at the drink fountain when we'd walked in.) She asked what she could help me with... I told her my gf pizza was not cooked all the way; I'd thrown it into a box (that we'd actually went to get) and I'll reheat it properly later and eat it, but the crepe I was concerned as there was not an allergy flag and it looked JUST like my daughters texture wise. I'm familiar with the crepes and I REALLY didn't think it was gf. She said she would not do anything about the pizza since I didn't mention it prior but the crepe was indeed gluten free. A little stunned I again said I would take the pizza home and reheat, I didn't ask for anything in regards to the pizza as they reheat well... and I would not eat the crepe, I truly didn't think it was gf! She said they'd remake it. I replied no thank you. (I'd already sat once while my party ate, for the gf pizza to be remade... I wasn't doing that again. With an attitude she told me she'd remove it from the bill! One bite was cut out and STILL on the fork, it should but have been an issue. I love Cibo and the food is amazing and it's worth the drive to come from Surprise for a treat, but that was a bit much...I'll be back, but I'll definitely ask for a different server! read more

One of my fav pizza spots!! High rec making a red and visiting during the cooler months to enjoy the gorgeous patio! Give the Diavola pizza a try! read more

Cibo remains one of downtown Phoenix's go-to spots--both a local favorite and a destination for visitors--and it's easy to see why. The setting does a lot of the work: a large, charming garden with plenty of outdoor seating that gives the whole place a cozy, almost village feel. Inside, there's a small bar that's tough to get into, but it's really your only option if you're walking in without a reservation and don't want to wait an hour or more. The kitchen is usually the highlight. With an Italian chef behind it, everything leans fresh and well executed--pizzas consistently shine, and the salads are just as strong. This time, though, the bolognese was a miss. The pasta was clearly overcooked, which stood out given how reliable the food typically is--felt more like an off night than the norm. The wine-by-the-glass list is solid and approachable, and the many awards feel well deserved overall. A diverse staff adds to the cosmopolitan yet relaxed atmosphere. Even with the misstep, Cibo holds its place as one of the better all-around dining experiences downtown. read more

Cibo was so amazing! The best pizza and pasta I have ever had. I'll be thinking about our meal for a while. It was so good. We had a reservation for 7pm on a Thursday night. We arrived a few minutes before then and were seated right away. Our server was super friendly and the service was quick. We ordered the Rigatoni al Forno (baked sausage rigatoni), the pesto orecchiette with pine nuts and potatoes, and the Tartufata pizza (prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, and mushrooms). Everything was so good. We were starving and ate everything. Definitely good sizes to share. The patio is so cute. I wish we would have eaten out there, but we weren't sure how hot it was going to be. Plenty of street parking around. I would imagine it could get difficult to find parking depending on the time of the day. We will absolutely be back if we are ever in Phoenix. read more

My favorite place for pizza in Phoenix. The mushroom truffle w/ pepperoni added is my go-to. Their gluten-free pizza is SO good and is Neapolitan style with a puffy crust and everything. As someone with celiac, I've never had an issue. Always get a charcuterie too. GF bread for that is now an up-charge. Haven't been in years, so this was news to me but it was fine. Still my favorite pizza spot in the area. Especially outside on the patio! read more

Note to all: they do not have pasta on their lunch menu!! I was really disappointed when I arrived and looked at the menu and realized pasta was no where to be found. I went with their Lil Peppa pizza and added sausage and was confused when my pizza arrived and the toppings were separated half and half (as seen in the photo). The pizza crust was thin and good but was soggy, I would have preferred a crunch. read more

Cute spot with outdoor seating. Service was excellent thanks to Kimberly (amazing hostess), Carson (incredible server) and all who played a part in my experience. I had the calamari which was one of the best I've ever had. I had a side salad and the dinotte pizza. Soooooo yummy! Please be sure to get a side of Parmesan cheese and the spicy oil to drizzle and sprinkle over the pizza. Sooooooo good. I'm craving it now, but I'm back in Miami so I'll have to wait until my next visit. read more

Dinner with the family at Cibo's this evening. We sat inside thinking it was going to be way too hot to sit outside. I was pleasantly surprised and wished we would have. Their outside dining is amazing. Great atmosphere! They have a really nice misting system. Just as long as you don't sit right under it so your hair wont go flat. They also have fans that keep it cool as well. I thought it was great. Oh and as for the food, as always everything was delish. Our server was pleasant and had some amazing dessert recommendations. All in all, we enjoyed our dinner and will be back for another round again soon. read more

Our local host made a reservation here, as it has gotten good reviews. The location is in a neighborhood just northwest of downtown Phoenix. The restaurant is a converted house, with most of the seating being in what had been the yard. There are a number of shade trees here, plus they have umbrellas, fans, and misters to keep it comfortable. It *may* be possible to sit inside as well, but this would likely require a reservation much further out than ours. The outside dining area was packed the whole time we were there. The outside tables were relatively comfortable when we ate here. They moved an umbrella over to block the setting sun for about 20 minutes, which was great. It looked like they had a musician tuning up her guitar but she had not started before we left. The menu featured selections of pastas, pizzas, and salads. We sampled 3 pizzas, all of which were good. As we were travelling and flying out the next morning, 2 of us split one, which was perfect for not having leftovers. The 4 in our group also sampled an appetizer composed of a fried rice ball with cheese. I was skeptical, but it was actually good. Parking is on-street, as there did not appear to be a dedicated lot for the restaurant itself. It was a busy area, but we did end up finding some spaces about a block and a half away in a residential area. I would definitely be up for another meal here. read more

The best Italian in downtown by far. I've been coming here for years. Reservations encouraged! Feels so homey inside and has a charming patio. The food is impeccable. I had never tried the pasta here and boy was I missing out! The gnocchi we got the time was soooo good! I just love this place you cannot go wrong. Di Notte is a must! read more

Cibo - Salsiccia with Spicy Salame (4/5) - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My best friend and I are always looking for new places to try within the valley. We even keep a list! Cibo has been on the list for quite awhile and we finally gave it a try at the end of February. We doubled up on appetizers and went with the ciabatta garlic bread and the arancini. The arancini was unlike any I've tried before as it was meatless. I initially thought I'd miss the meat that's usually mixed in or atop arancini, but I did not. It was delicious and perfectly fried. We also really loved the garlic bread. It was everything garlic bread should be and was paired with a side of their rich marinara sauce. For our meal, we split the Margherita pizza. We were divided on if we should try a pizza or a pasta dish, but since pizza seemed to be what Cibo is known for, we went with that. The pizza was absolutely a good choice. The dough was incredible and the toppings were so robust and fresh. Since we were out celebrating my birthday, the folks at Cibo gave me a birthday crepe with a sparkler on top. It was so tasty and such a kind gesture. We were also really impressed by Cibo's service. Our server, Jamey, was attentive and helped guide us through our many questions about the menu items. We also really enjoyed sitting on their cozy patio--the weather was perfect that evening. I would not hesitate to return to Cibo in the future. Maybe we'll even try a pasta next time! read more

Stopped here for our final night's dinner in Phoenix. Originally we had a steakhouse picked out, but made a change and headed here with a 9:30pm reservation. Located in a residential type area, the restaurant is inside a former house with a large outdoor seating area. Outdoor twinkle lights frame the areas and make this a great option if you prefer to dine outside. We had an indoor booking and checked in - immediately sat. It took a few minutes to get served but once we did, it was almost like the meal was in overdrive. That's a good thing. We ordered a margherita pizza to start which - with no exaggeration, came out in 3 minutes. Freshly made and dropped off. It was very good - slight char on the crust but airy dough, tangy sauce, good cheese and the most crucial part- basil. Textbook execution. For my entree I went with the gnocchetti sorrentina - gnocchi with a tangy red sauce, basil, and cheese inside. This was very good - the cheese in the sauce stuck to the fork but the flavors were spot-on. As dessert, I went with the Nutella milkshake which was served in what I remember as a glass chalice that used to be in those cat food commercials. It was very good and rich. Would recommend this as a cozy spot with authentic and fresh food. Our waiter - big curly hair and a mask - was testing his stand up with us throughout the meal but was harmless and did a great job. read more

Had a great solo date here on a Friday night. There was a 30 minute wait at 6:30, so make a reservation if possible. The bar is open seating. Carson was my server and delivered excellent service. He was attentive, upbeat, and made sure I felt taken care of. I did not enjoy my first pasta dish and he immediately offered a better recommendation. The bolognese tasted rich and balanced. The ambiance felt warm and romantic. Outdoor seating had soft lighting and beautiful foliage. Portions were generous and pricing felt fair for the quality. I would come back for the pasta and the service. read more

Cibo - Margherita and cacio e Pepe - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cibo is the kind of place that helps define a city. And this part of downtown Phoenix (the Roosevelt District) has had a rebirth in a city that's matured tenfold over the last twenty years. It had been a minute, but my friends and I made the Cibo lunch scene the other day. Now, when Italian-Americans order lunch, it's a given, EVERYTHING ordered is for the table. The pizza was as good as any Neapolitan-style pizza in town, including that dude named "Chris". The arancini was slightly over-fried, but I actually dug the crunch. Salad, fresh. Staff, energetic and fun. Fellas, take your date. You'll be a hero. Some places are restaurants. Some become part of a city's story. Cibo feels a lot like the latter. read more

Alright I've been here twice- once earlier this year in January and again about 2 weeks ago. This place always has glowing reviews and I want to like it soooo bad, but both times has been a bad experience. A service nightmare. The first time in January, our server was extremely inattentive, it was freezing and they declined to turn on the heaters, and our drinks took a long time. The only saving grace was the food, SO GOOD. This most recent time, we had a reservation and were sat inside. We ordered our drinks: 3 Aperol spritz and a bottled beer. After waiting legitimately 20 minutes for our drinks, our server comes back and says they'll be out soon. (???) we order our entrees and receive said entrees BEFORE our first round of drinks we had ordered 35 minutes before. Our server came over and said they were changing out the bar (?) and they'd be there "as a dessert" (??). We then finally receive our drinks and one of us makes a joke that one is more full than the other two. The waiter overhears us and returns to the table to then tell us that the aperol spritz is a pre-batched cocktail and that they aren't any different from one another. Then WHY did it TAKE SO LONG? As he dropped the check he made a sarcastic joke that didn't land and kinda just walked away. Acting like it was totally fine that our drinks didn't come until we were done with our meal. I really want to like this place but the food is the only thing that's good about it. Really don't have a reason to return anymore. read more

One of the best pizzas in Phoenix!! Only issue is the parking, but it is downtown so pretty much expected. If you don't make a reservation the wait can be long especially during the weekends. I loved their burrata, one of the best I have tried in the Valley so far. Ambiance is very "romantic" with the lighting but the place is always packed. Have been multiple times and will continue to go haha read more

Cibo is the best pizza in town! The crust is slightly salty, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside. The pizza flavors are unique and all delicious. They also have several delicious and unique pastas to chose from as well. The restaurant itself is so cute! It's in an old house and there is also a large patio that's surrounded by green with bistro lights overhead. Last but not least, the prices for the delicious food are very reasonable! Make reservations! It will be hard to get a table walking in, especially on a weekend around dinner time. read more

Phoenix has a lot of pizza. Like a lot. And many of them are good, if not great. Cibo will always be my favorite though. It's got the 10/10 ambiance, the 10/10 service and the 10/10 food. Not to discount the other Italian food on the menu which is top tier but my heart always says to go with the pizza. Wood fired to perfection, fresh ingredients and full of taste. I've never had a bad meal here, only the best! read more

We had a very good experience at Cibo this afternoon for our date night. We decided on the little pepa and the fresh Barada. Personally for me, the bar told the show. However, the pizza was very light and airy and fluffy, and also almost equally delicious. They have options for soda, drinkers such as bottled cokes or canned cokes, and they have a very pretty outside patio with lights and space heaters. The service itself was very friendly, we had Emily as our server and she did a great job, taking care of us and having a great attitude decided to top off a great meal with sharing a Nutella crêpe, no regrets there! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. Firstly their garlic bread is really good 10/10 would get that. We got like 3 different pizzas, 2 of which were tomato sauce based and the other was a white sauce based. The crust to every pizza was amazing, but the red sauce just wasn't it. It was like sweet and flavorless at the same time. Pizzas like Margherita pizzas are really like a "let the ingredients speak for themselves" and it just wasn't there. The white sauce was probably the best (it was like a arugula vinaigrette pizza) and that's just cuz the black vinaigrette can't go wrong. We also got the bolognese which was kinda a disappointment. The pasta noodles were all broken and the sauce was kinda watery. It wasn't anything special in flavor either. I'm a big fan of red sauce pizza and personally this place just didn't satisfy that at all. If you like white sauce pizzas tho this place might be for you read more

Holy moly the reviews don't lie - the best gluten free pizza in Arizona hands down. The first time I saw a gluten free pizza and wouldn't know it was gluten free only for the flag sticking out of it saying gluten free. The crust was fluffy and I've never seen that level of fluff before, the pizza itself was floppy yet had some crisp still and it was the perfect chew. We got the Da Vinci with cheese, sauce, and basil and the sauce was sweet and savory, the cheese ooey gooey, I'm a sauce person so my only complaint would be to add more sauce! They bring over grated parm, red pepper flakes, olive oil and vinegar to the table. The Genova was the star of the show. The pesto was divine and there was some sweet from the onions, the potatoes were cooked wonderfully, the cheese pulled it all together (pun intended). This was more unique and it delivered. Very impressed. We also had to get a gluten free crepe, we got the frutti di Bosco. It was massive and we were Already so full with leftovers but of course we couldn't say no! There was a good amount of mascarpone and it was light and airy and the crepe was also light and delicious. I loooove berries so this was perfect and there was so frickin many berries I was happily surprised. The lemon zest made this a truly refreshing dessert on a hot summer day. Our server Marley was very attentive and quick and kind. We loved her! The restaurant itself has several different rooms you can eat in, it's bigger than it looks - yet there's only 5 parking spots lol you'll have to find one on a side street. It's a great atmosphere and traditional and we loved the music choices. When it's nice out I would love to sit outside. I'll be back VERY soon read more

Sarah and I had a wonderful dinner at CiBO tonight. The Salsiccia was the standout -- beautifully blistered crust, generous sausage, and exactly the kind of Neapolitan-style pie downtown Phoenix should be proud of. The arancini were a great way to start, and the Nutella e Banana with ice cream was the right call to close things out. But the night really belonged to our server, Jesus R. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm -- the kind of service that turns a good meal into one you actually want to write about. We'll be back, and we'll be asking for his section. Five stars. read more

A quaint converted place in the arts district. I haven't been back for years, but took my daughter out to lunch today. Pizza is the vibe and it was good.

I like a crust, but this seemed to be a lot of crust. And, I'm sorry....please don't ever serve crushed pepper in a tiny Shaker jar! Please get the jars with suits in them so something actually comes out! I looked liked I was having a spasm until I just took the lid off! Overall, nice place, especially outdoors and decent food.
