    Indoor Seating Area
    Melissa S.

    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!

    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!

    Thick crust pizza

    Recommended to us from Blaine. We were looking for good Italian with pasta on our mind upon arrival but ended up with margaritas, calamari, salad, pizza, and tiramisu. We learned pasta is only an occasional special as they are primarily focused on premium pizzas. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, service, and our meal. Thanks Blaine for the recommendation!

    Tiramisu
    Bryan A.

    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
    Vita P.

    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!

    Mortadella Pizza

    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.

    Carnivora
    Tiffany L.

    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!!

    Les Z.

    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.

    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.

    Sarah M.

    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!

    Margherita pizza and the Mortadella & Pistachio pizza with Black dough (Spanish Cuttlefish ink)
    Mike L.

    Wow! What a wonderful gem in Sedona! A family-run business with a warm atmosphere and awesome food! Due to the high-quality food, the wait was a little long, but darn well worth it! The owner sat us and chatted with us a bit about the restaurant history and his family. We had the Cardini salad with homemade parm crisps (awesome!) and calamari to start. We followed that with a Margherita pizza and the Mortadella & Pistachio pizza (with Black dough!). Pretty dang good! Thanks for a great experience Gerardo's!

    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.

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 ordered the Smokey Fashion, which leaned strong and spirit-forward.

For mains, we had to try the pasta. My friend ordered the gnocchi, and I had the artisan-style garganelli with grilled chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and green onions in a smoky chipotle cream sauce--rich, slightly spicy, and easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had this year. Service matched the quality of the food, with a knowledgeable and polished server throughout.

The food was actually quite good. That is why I gave 2 stars. The rest of the experience was less than ideal. I arrived on time to pick up my order. The lot was full, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but not convenient. The store had both a front entrance and a take out entrance. Both doors were packed with people. I squeezed into the take out area and witnessed a staff member give a customer his 2 pizzas and 3 salads, saying "you're all set!" Only to have the customer say they were missing 2 items. Then ensues the next 10 min of the staff looking high and low for those 2 items and finally determining that the kitchen did not cook them. All the while knocking other takeout boxes of food onto the ground (at least in boxes) and picking them back up again. Also muttering under his breath "I'm busy and no one is helping me!" When it was finally my turn, he was disorganized and asked me several times my name and when I had placed the order. He eventually found the my order, and in typical Murphy's law fashion, mine was a box that had fallen onto the floor. The burrata caprese was in a clear plastic container and it looked like the dog's breakfast. But by this time, I just wanted to get outta there.

For appetizers, we ordered the Baked Brie with GF focaccia bread (the fig spread was delish, and the Brie was ooey-gooey, salty perfection), and the spinach artichoke dip with the GF flatbread (so delightfully creamy). Delicious on all fronts-- even better together on the focaccia! For our meal, my husband and I shared two plates: Spicy Baked Rigatoni and the Spicy Chipotle Chicken. Both had savory, cream-based sauces with rigatoni that did not taste GF (kudos!) and were mouthwateringly good! We didn't have enough room for dessert, but we definitely left content.
