GREAT pizza. Always our go-to downtown! Recommend pepperoni, veggie pizzas also good. Great service

Tuesday night dinner before a concert. Lightly crowded, still some folks in there. Menu has a good assortment of choices. We opted for 2 pizzas - Sausage & Onion (Franca) and Spicy meat pie (Divina). The crust is very good, Crisp toward the edge, a bit softer toward the middle. Franca was our preferred pie, but both were very good. Service was good, ambiance was good as well. Half price bottles of wine were a great deal. N*joy! read more

I tried to call 3 times before finally just heading over. I was trying to clarify if the gf crust was with cauliflower ; but no one ever awnsered and the line was full of messages. We finally just went over. Service was OK... Had I been asked how the pizza was,I likely would have engaged a bit on it, but I was never asked despite only eating one piece. I ordered the Lucia Pizza gluten free - it's got red sauce, sausage, cremini mushrooms, mozzarella cheese. I added caramelized onion. I was fairly disappointed in the gf crust, and I do believe it's an in house crust with a rice & tapioca base...it was fairly crumbly and didn't really feel like I was eating pizza slices since the pizza kept breaking into pieces; I ate one slice and tried to send the rest home with the grandkids... They didn't want it either... I do not reminded the gluten free. The sauce was good and the toppings were quality ;hubby had a pizza and meatballs which he enjoyed. From the reviews, I think if your going for regular pizza, it's a Definate hit, but they missed the mark on the gf. read more

IL Bosco Pizza - Gluten free Lucia -added Carmelized onion - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

came to the Phoenix location after seeing so much hype about this place on social media. Seat yourself style so obviously a very casual restaurant. Service definitely lacked because everyone sat at once with no pacing. Tried to the toasted ravioli and it came out so fast it was obviously already cooked or preheated. Not bad but truly tasted like something you could buy at the store. We got 2 different pizzas, can't remember the name but both very basic, and they were good. Was is the best pizza in the valley? No. But it was reasonably priced for the size and the quality. Also they don't serve coke or Pepsi fountain products but rather some off brand bottled soft drinks which aren't bad but would much rather prefer a coke. Worth a shot if you're in the area and want good pizza but probably wouldn't come back as we've had better elsewhere. read more

IL Bosco Pizza - Outside seating - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If you know, you know. Il Bosco is hands down our favorite pizza in Arizona. Every single time it hits. We started with the Fried Ravioli (crispy on the outside, perfectly cheesy inside) and the stuffed zucchini flowerse-- light, delicate, and fried to perfection. Not greasy. Just golden, cheesy and addictive. And then... The Valentina Pizza. We added Serrano for a touch of heat with the honey drizzle. Absolute magic. Sweet, spicy, savory -- the kind of balance that makes you pause mid-bite. The crust has that perfect wood-fired char with a soft, chewy center. It's artisan without being pretentious. Just straight-up delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is top notch and they even remember our order from our last visit. We've had a lot of pizza in Arizona, but Il Bosco keeps us coming back. Every. Single. Time. read more

I had an OK time at Il Bosco Pizza. I had the lemon arugula pizza, and it was alright, but not the best I've had by any means. The lemon overpowered the other toppings and made the pizza a little too sweet for my taste. The atmosphere and service were fine, although there was a screaming child at the table next to me that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. I do wish restaurants put a little more effort into maintaining a pleasant atmosphere. read more

Good pizza and beer for a quick bite before a game or to watch a game! Service was friendly!

Stopped in for dinner with a group tonight and the service was friendly and good. The server was attentive and the food was enjoyed by all. The platter I ordered was delicious and mostly devoured quickly. I would go back to try the pizza in the future. read more

I ate here on recommendation of the server at a brewpub I stopped in at prior to my visit. The outdoor patio is dog friendly and it was warm enough to eat outside. Service was fast. The young man attending to me came up right away. He was a little surprised that I requested a paper menu and didn't want to look at the QR code. My basic Adriana pizza came out quickly and it was delicious. The crust had a nice flavor to it. It was a Monday evening and the place was busy. read more

Very crowded, very cramped and noisy. No parking. Eyes were burning from the wood fired oven. Do not recommend this place at all.

We are regular diners at both locations. We made a reservation, we waited, that's fine. The bartender made no acknowledgement while waiting for a drink at the bar. Host told us to wait outside with no accommodations, maybe a drink while you wait? The Phoenix location felt a little dull. THE FOOD, spectacular, as always. Spinach/Artichoke dip was fire. The Mia was not on the menu, but we were able to order. We love the food & ambiance. Just a tweak. Acknowledgement, goes a long ways. read more

I had the Biaggia and it was outstanding. Fig jam, arugula, goat cheese and more! Just super tasty combination. Service was solid too. Only drawback is that finding a parking spot can be tough on the weekends and in the evenings. Worth a stop! read more

I love when a house turns into a restaurant or small business. Il Bosco has plenty of patio seating with water misters and it's in the perfect location for people watching. Inside theres some stools for bar seating if you're into watching a game on the tv or you can sit at one of the tables and enjoy the AC. Ok now the pizzas all looked amazing but the one that caught my eye was the biaggi. It has a nice lemon flavor to it and arugula...I thought we'd save a slice for later but no...we ate the entire thing! Very tasty and it came out of the pizza oven pretty fast. If you have t-mobile or credit cards like Chase and Amex, I'd check to your restaurant perks. We got 5% cash back here! :) read more

This is such a great place to stop and enjoy a casual meal outdoors when you're in the Roosevelt Art District. This pizza place is in an old house with a big front porch. There's a small dining room inside and plenty of seating out side in front. When we got there all the tables with shade were taken, but our server said he could grab us an umbrella. With it being such a beautiful day, we wanted to sit outside. We ordered: *Spicy Italian sausage stuffed peppadew peppers *Gabriella pizza (red sauce, pepperoni, hatch green chile, mozzerella) *Joanna Pizza (red sauce, spicy sausage, pepperoni, mozzerella) Everything was yummy, and it was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the great weather. This place can get packed at night, but there was no problem going for lunch. read more

I met a friend here and had a great time. The restaurant is a renovated old house downtown off Roosevelt, so parking is on the nearby streets. The menu has appetizers, salads, a wide range of Neapolitan-style pizzas and a variety of drinks. Service was fast and friendly. There's indoor & outdoor seating. I ordered the Katarina, which has pepperoni and mushrooms and it was delicious. read more

we went there after seeing check please and it didn't measure up in any area particularly the ambience because we left and I could still smell the rancid oil on my clothing and hair food is marginal not the best pizza I've ever had for sure very nice server gotta clean the place up read more

Happy to admit I was WRONG to give Il Bosco 4 stars. They are an easy 5! You just gotta find the the right pizzas for you :) I'll Bosco is my latest delivery favorite. It's actually affordable for wood fired pizza compared to others like it in the area which is awesome. Since my first review, I've tried the Maria (pesto and tomato), Elaina (pep and olive), Biaggia (fig and arugula), and Valentina (pep with chili and honey). All of them were amazing. The crust is exceptional. It's crispy and thicc but still light and nice and smoky. The toppings are all high quality including the delicious cheese they use. The Caesar salad is also delightful and packed with parm. Also don't skip the salsa di parmigiana. Omg. It's spicy and rich and the most perfect thing ever to top their yummy bread with. read more

A chill place to grab lunch or dinner, the outside sitting was perfect for a cool cloudy day like today no flies or annoying gnats. I came specifically for the vegan pizzas and I'll have to give it a 7/10 it was okay. Of course it wouldn't taste like regular cheese, it was a bit soft but I was able to eat a decent pizza without stomach pain and breaking out so I'm grateful read more

No notes! We ate out on the patio late and even though Phoenix was still hot as balls, the misters keeps us nice and comfy. We relied on the server to kinda bring us what he thought was great, and he hit the nail right on the head. Great beer, great salad, great pizza. What a great night! We left full and very satisfied. Thank you Yelp for a great dinner recommendation! read more

Great pizzas! Had them delivered to our hotel for an impromptu pool party and they were awesome. Don't remember the name of the pizza but it had hot honey and green chiles on it and I wish we had ordered 2! read more

OMG!!! This place is amazing!! We stayed at the Hyatt and it was quite a walk but was so worth it! The pizza was so fresh and delicious and the staff was so friendly and great service! We sat at the bar. We will definitely come back here again. Kendrick and Harrison were our servers and were so nice and made good conversation with us and were genuinely happy to serve us. The place was small and cozy inside. Best authentic fresh pizza ever!!! read more

I love the patio and the location! Roosevelt row continues to develop into a great place to enjoy for shopping, dining and more. I've been to I'll Bosco a few times and the pizza delivers.. As a local in the neighborhood, I tend to go at odd times and avoid the rush. This has made for prompt, and very friendly service! The ravioli starter was fresh and delicious and the pizza came out hot and exactly as described. I like the dense menu options also; enough choices to make me come back and enjoy again. read more

Fun place. We liked everything we got to go while traveling. The pizza is legit. Pepperoni is the best!

The pizza was sooo good, and the outdoor seating area was so nice! Service was great too!

Food was great!!! Had the bruschetta sampler and pizza... Nice and relaxing outside seating.

"Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge. Let's go!" ― April Ludgate, Parks and Recreation We got some takeout for a pizza throw down. We ordered a Valentina (red sauce, pepperoni, cheese, calabrian chili, and finished with a honey drizzle) and wowzah. If you're a fan of sweet heat, this is the pie for you. Aw yis! I love it when the pepperoni crisps up and cups. It becomes a little vessel of fat and flavor. Your heart might not like it as much, but your tastebuds will be happy. The crust was charred, and it was a lovely pie. I need to come back! I would like to try the Biaggia (fig jam, prosciutto, mozz, goat cheese, arugula, shaved parm, lemon olive oil). Who wants a pizza date!? read more

SO living downtown PHX, we have plenty of places to try, and trust me, we have tired a lot. This time we decided to walk up the Roosevelt Row and wanted Pizza, so we gave IL Bosco Pizza and it did not disappoint. We did get there about 5pm and not many people were there, by the time we left at 630 it was full. The Pizza was excellent, salad was excellent the dessert was amazing. I had the cannoli and the shell was not soggy it was excellent!!!! We will be back. read more

Service was great staff was on top of things. We sat at the bar and was greeted upon arrival. Drink orders taken and good drinks. Order taken shortly after and food came out timely. Had the stuffed peppers and those were so good sweet tangy and spicy but not over spicy would be perfect if they had a tad melted cheese to them. We had the Za pizza and that was so good I couldn't stop. My partner loved it. It was the perfect size to split maybe throw in a salad and the perfect combo. Definitely a pleasant surprise since we were walking by to an event we got wrong. Nice atmosphere great patio seating also outside or sit inside such a great location read more

Excellent service and food was amazing. Nothing left to say. Highly recommended. We had wanted to try this restaurant for a while, my sisters had eaten here and they recommended it to us. I'm glad to know there's one in Phoenix which we look forward to trying. read more

Came here to do a date night with my husband. At first the service was pretty good, we were seated quickly and checked in frequently. Toward the end of the night the staff forgot about us and my husband had to get up to pay for dinner because they were inside watching a game. The ambiance was nice but I noticed a lot of the light bulbs were burned out, not a big deal but I tend to notice when places do regular upkeep or not. The bruschetta was actually delicious and the bread tasted fresh. Wasn't impressed with the kale salad for the price and the meatballs were pretty dry and lacking flavor. Definitely wouldn't come back, but I enjoyed the seating outside. Maybe the pizza is better read more

We're in town for a concert and found Il Bosco thanks to ChatGPT and it completely set the standard for the rest of our trip. We've tried a few other restaurants since, but we're still talking about this meal. We loved the casual, relaxed atmosphere and the focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The Caprese salad with burrata and fresh pesto was absolutely bursting with flavor. The seasonal vegetable dish was simple but perfect: broccolini cooked and seasoned beautifully. We shared everything between the three of us: the Caprese, the broccolini, and the Alba pizza (crisp, light, and full of flavor). My husband had a beer, and we ended the meal by splitting a dessert. What amazed us most? The total came to just $55. For food this good, we honestly couldn't believe it. If you're in the area and appreciate fresh ingredients, thoughtful flavors, and a chill vibe, Il Bosco is a must. read more

Such a cute date night or girls night spot! My fiancé and I went last week because we were both craving pizza and I saw that they had vegan cheese as an option (ya girl is allergic to cow dairy). I always like to do some research ahead of time and find out what vegan cheese they use, which I was able to find that it's the follow your heart brand which is pretty good! However when we got there, we came to find out that they are out of it currently and had no idea when they would be getting more in. Thankfully though, they did have goat cheese and were more than happy to sub out for any pizza we wanted! To be honest though the crust and the sauce is so good that I would've been OK going without cheese entirely. That's how you know the pizza is good! Service overall was pretty good. It definitely got slow at times, so while didn't really distract from the overall experience, this is definitely not somewhere to go if you're in a rush read more

In town for the week and yelped this place. GREAT service and great pizza. I got the Alba and a glass of red and was great. If I'm back in Phoenix, I'll be back. Thanks team! You all did great! read more

Pizza was VERY good! Chopped salad was okay. Service good and got pizza right away. Will be back and recommend.

I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile. We always pass it during the first friday art walk. This weekend I was craving pizza so I made a reservation for two at 7pm. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere. Since it was the first nice night out in phoenix (not 1,000 degrees) and the festival was going on, we decided to sit outside and people watch. The patio is cute, with a perfect view of the action I ordered a sprite and was presented with a "bubble up" which is just like sprite and was super refreshing! We both ordered pizzas after looking around at everyone else's food. A pizza is easily sharable, unless your a wild animal like me and can kill a full pizza by yourself. Lol the pizzas are a nice size, around an average "medium" I would say. My partner ordered the Maria and I got the Valentina and let me just say, whoever decided to put hot honey on pepperoni pizza *chef's kiss* it was absolutely delicious. Ima pizza GIRL. I Stan a good pie, and this was one of the top pizzas I've had in Phoenix (just moved here two years ago) the crust was chewy and charred just right, the sauce was spicy and not TOO saucy, the cheese was delicious and I can't speak to that honey ENOUGH. So good. My partner enjoyed her pizza as well! We both decided we would come back and try everything they have! read more

We went here for the first time last night and were stunned by how outstanding the pizza was! Crispy crust, just enough sauce and high quality topics (the spicy sausage was outstanding). We also had the stuffed Peppadew Peppers and they were quite good with a lovely blend of sweet and spicy! This has moved up to a tie on my "best pizza in The Valley" list (tied with Federal who has THE BEST deep dish 'za on the planet) and I'll definitely go back! read more

I came in skeptical, there's a lot of hype around this place but one bite of their Pepperoni pizza was fantastic. I also tried a slice of their Spicy Sausage which was rich, earthy, and incredibly aromatic. Not too heavy just enough of spices to make it luxurious without being overpowering. While pizza is the main event, they also offer incredible appetizers and salads. A perfect way to begin the meal. The drinks were so good and refreshing. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The ambiance blends rustic and modern. read more
