    This place has ruined me in the best way possible!! I will be dreaming of the delicious food here and am beyond excited for the next time I get to eat here. I am salivating as I type. We started with their Italian Salad, ordered the Ortolana Pizza and their Bolognese Special. When I bit into their Bolognese Pasta, I got schooled as to what Bolognese really tastes like. For the Ortolana Pizza, we added the honey chillin sauce to it and also requested for it to be made with their sourdough. Highly recommend both add one. Honestly the best pizza & pasta I've ever had. Since the dinner was beyond, we decided to get their tirimisu dessert, we were surprised at how large the serving was, absolute delicious, not too sweet. Just perfect. Presentation was phenomenal. Staff was so friendly & you could tell the chefs take such pride in their work!! Every seat is a great seat at this restaurant. We sat at the bar & it felt like we were able to really feel the soul of the restaurant right in front of the pizza oven!! Great place. Chef's kiss!! Xoxo

    Let's say I know pizza. I'm not saying I'm a pizza snob or I get saucey over bad pizza but I come from a place where a-pizza is our pride and joy. Geraldo's is a must try if you are in Sedona! They take pride in their ingredients all the down to the soil that grows the wheat for the flour. House-made mozzarella, sausage dough, lemoncello etc.. This father and son duo pour their heart and soul into tasty creations while feeding off of each other's expertise. I truly enjoy coming in to see what they have to offer. They make you feel like family

    Carnivore pizza

    WOW! This was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. We were looking a pizza place with outdoor dining for dinner so we could bring our dog. Our dog sometimes is reactive to other dogs so we wanted a spot where the tables were pretty spread out. When we arrived, we were promptly seated and the outdoor patio was actually way nicer than we expected. All the heaters were on and it was actually very cozy with the string lights as well. There was a line for inside seating and were surprised not more people opted to sit outside. Our server was great and shared the daily specials with us. We tried the wine and both the Riesling and Moscato were lovely. We shared the Carnivore pizza (12 inches), rigatoni bolognese (special of the day), and a bruschetta (special of the day). The bruschetta was super tasty with prosciutto and arugula. 3 good size pieces as well. The pizza was unsurprisingly fantastic - great char from the wood fire and tasty toppings and crust. The standout was the pasta though. The homemade rigatoni had a nice chew and absorbed the sauce very nicely. For dessert, we shared the creme brulee and it was tasty as well. The moon shaped cookie was cute but very hard to break apart. The table next to us got the brioche bread with strawberries and cream (special of the day) and it looked REALLY good. Kinda wish we ordered that instead, haha! Amazing food, great service, and cute relaxing ambiance. Best meal during our visit to Sedona!

    This small Italian spot was recommended to me, so my wife and I made a trip to Sedona to try it. The pizza was excellent and made fresh entirely in house with fermented sourdough. The pizza was light, not heavy (although a little soggy with the crust) and did not leave me bloated. We also tried the bolognese pasta which was fresh and flavorful also, however the pasta was a little undercooked. This is something to be aware of if you arrive at or near open. Service was great and the restaurant was friendly and inviting, although a bit generic. Overall this is a great stop for Italian if in Sedona.

    Great wood fired pizza, locally owned, and fresh ingredient sourced! Our waitress Maria provided excellent service and our pizzas were delicious. You can customize the type of pizza dough you would like such as traditional, sourdough, or black ink dough. We also got the cannoli trio and pistachio tiramisu desserts to take home. They tasted awesome, however the tiramisu did melt a bit, so you may want to get that option for dine-in only. The ambiance for the indoor seating was nice and none of the tables were too close together. Additionally, they have outdoor patio seating that is dog friendly. For parking, there is an attached parking lot. If you are in Sedona, this is a good casual restaurant to check out!

    We were seated immediately as walk ups, I like that this place is further away from the crowded downtown area. Decor is simple and server was friendly. The food was unbelievable. The bolognese was the best I've ever had in my life! Pizza was solid and I'm glad I added the hot honey. Salad dressing was wonderful. Tiramisu was huge.

    Calamari

    Easily my best meal in the Sedona area. Highly, highly recommend making a meal stop here. Visiting from Chicago (and very Italian) I had high expectations and they were surpassed. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. I've visited many Neapolitan places in Italy and in Chicago and this is easily top 5 in the mix. Service was kind and attentive, they have some unique ovens explained as part of your dining experience. We started with the calamari which was good - lightly breaded like in Italy. We went straight for the pizzas which were excellent. I enjoyed that they had classics on their menu - like Salssicia and capprriciosa that we greatly enjoyed. Excellent. Highly recommend. Grazie mille per l'eccellente esperienza culinaria e il cibo meraviglioso! Alla prossima!

    Carnivora

    Hubby and I came here while visiting Sedona in October. We were seated rally quickly, and our server came over shortly after and made suggestions. I tried the Carnivora uncut. The bread made the pizza even more delicious than it already was! Sooo good! We also ordered the tiramisu, which was pretty good too. 5 stars!!

    Mortadella Pizza
    Ruthy G.

    I came here with a group of girls after a long hike in Sedona and let me just say -- I will think about this place forever. It was so good! We sat outside on the patio and the weather was so beautiful in the evening. Our waitress was so kind while she explained the specials and waited for us to think. We got four pizzas. The best one was the mortadella and pesto!!! I want that everyday of my life!! My least favorite was the spicy burrata. Margarita was just like any other. The prosciutto and fig was not what I wanted. It was fine. The crème brûlée was super delicious and the tiramisu could be skipped. Wish I tried the cannoli.

    Highly recommend the squid ink dough! Very unique and delicious. We've never seen squid ink being used in pizza before. This place is so far our favorite in Sedona. Good service and tasty food, will def come back!

    As someone who always enjoys but never seeks out pizza I'm here to say that Gerardo's is a place to seek out. Every pizza lover should be wowed by the pizza offerings but even those who'd generally choose otherwise will be won over here. I was headed someplace else and arrived to find that place closed. Yelp directed me to Gerardo's, which I'd not have otherwise chosen as it's off-the-street-behind-another-building setting wouldn't draw me in. Then you park and go inside and hmmm... this place looks like the real deal: Without going into excruciating detail, know that Gerardo's has the "slow food" seal of approval and that their web site talks of their dough like this: "our dough doesn't just rise--it rests, breathes, and transforms over 72 hours. We treat it like a baby: with patience, consistency, and care". I haven't had pizza like this since my trip to Naples. I sat at the small bar from which I could watch pizzas being placed into the artful oven and observe servers carefully measuring ample wine pours. I was charmed and thrilled to have gotten any seat at all (reservations aren't accepted and the place gets packed). I had some good meals in Sedona but my meal here was the best.

    Best experience! We had an opportunity to speak with the owner and learn more background of the charming, mouth watering and top notch pizzeria. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a caprese salad, the house Caesar salad, prosciutto and fig le pizze, and the inferno dolce thick Sicilian pizza. Those looking for a dog friendly location you can bring your fur babies and eat on the patio. A must stop when in Sedona!

    We were recommended this spot as the best pizza in Sedona. The restaurant is smaller so make sure you have a reservation. We did not have one and waited 30 minutes which wasn't too bad as you can get a drink while you wait. It is a cute restaurant with good service. The pizza was good. The pesto side sauce was delicious. Was it the best pizza in Sedona? I'm not sure about that. But it was good. They had a pecan caramel tiramisu which I would say was the best dessert we've had in Sedona.

    Are you a BYOB (if do, what is corking fee?)?

    It's not a BYOB. They have a bar area. Enjoy

    Do they offer flute free pizza?

    Hi Denise We don't have gluten free pizza in our menu.

    I know bolognese is typically made with pork, but I see in your description that it is "grass fed". Is your bolognese only made with beef? Would love to have it if so!

    It's only beef! Enjoy!

    Excuse me, Are dogs allowed here?

    On the patio, yes. There is a sign on the gate that says they are allowed, but not in the restaurant, so you would be seated through the gate to the patio.

    Can we get gluten free pizzas ? Also we have one in iur party who is vegan - do they options?

    No. They do not offer a gluten-free pizza crust, but they do have gluten free pasta.

We didn't have a reservation and just stopped by for dinner. The restaurant was pretty busy, but luckily they found us two seats at the bar. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy. I'm someone who always pays attention to the little details, and this place has so much character. Every corner feels warm and thoughtfully designed. The staff was genuinely friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. And the food... absolutely outstanding! Everything we ordered was delicious! From the pasta to the desserts. We'd also like to give a special mention to the coffee, which was excellent as well. The only thing I wish is that they were open for lunch! We'd happily come back during the day if they were.

The service was great, and the food was even better. We started off with the artichoke bites, which came out piping hot and crispy with a side of lemon garlic, aïoli sauce. I ordered the spicy vodka pasta with shrimp which came with about five pieces of jumbo shrimp and homemade pasta. The sauce was amazing. It was probably one of the best pasta dish I've had. My husband ordered the chicken pasta with cream that was recommended by the bartender. That was also delicious. They also have free bread that came with olive oil with salsa Verde in it, which was interesting. We have to ask for the free bread though. For dessert we had gelato with salt and olive oil, which was surprisingly good. Overall, we had a great experience with amazing food. I would definitely come back here for the spicy vodka pasta next time I'm in town.

One of the staff members was very pleasant and apologetic, which we appreciated, but the service issues continued throughout the meal. My cousin ordered coffee, and our waitress responded, "I guess I can make a pot of coffee." I ordered a latte, but she later returned and said the machine was broken. Our dinners came with bread and herb olive oil. This was delicious and fresh baked focaccia. When the basket arrived, each of us received ONE 1-inch by 1-inch piece of bread with tons of herb olive oil. After we finished the bread, the waitress immediately removed the basket and remaining olive oil without asking if we would like more. It felt very strange and left us wondering whether the restaurant actually tosses out that much olive oil or if it would simply be served to another table. I would hope it's tossed but it's very wasteful. Dinner was average - not over the top delicious. The one bright spot was the friendly staff member who apologized for some of these issues. Unfortunately, the overall experience felt awkward and inhospitable, and the service did not meet our expectations.
