    Mike's hot honey thin crust
    Daloun F.

    Girlllll what the hell. Worst $25 I ever done spent. Not sure how you mess up something so easy and tasty as hot honey, but this pizza tasted like nothing, yet like plain, uncooked flour dough at the same time. Also there was but a mere 3 pieces of giardiniera that it claims to have...unfortunate. Eeeeyuck!

    If I could shake Mr. Malnati's hand personally, I would. My family would follow very close behind. We are in love. We all agreed this being the best pizza we have ever had - every single bite. My family and I did not experience one bad bite during our dinner. We ordered Lou's on DoorDash and everything was delivered piping hot as if we were being served table-side. The next day, we popped our leftovers into the oven and were still blown away by how good it was. We will definitely be back - very soon - and back again! We also plan on visiting the restaurant very soon. We can't wait!

    I've recently realized that I am allergic to gluten. So I am now on the search for a good gluten-free pizza. I have tried the regular pizza at Lou's and opted to try their gluten-free version. Like the taste of the filling but texture was completely different and the crust was very waxy. I would not order again, but I might try the thin crust next time hopefully the experience will be better.

    Our waitress was amazing. The pizza need a little TLC The crust on the Malnati's you could see and some what taste the butter crust on the other one did not get the butter crust. The crust makes the pizza. This is not the first time my pizza lacked the CHICAGO TASTE. The pizza was on point the first few days of opening. The restaurant and wait staff 10 out of 10. The restaurant is clean well maintained even time we go staff is very friendly.

    Spaghetti with meat sauce
    Sumita M.

    My kids are obsessed with spaghetti and pasta--they could eat it any time, day or night! Tonight, around 9:45 pm, they asked for their favorite meal, but I didn't have the time to cook that late. So, I turned to Uber Eats and found Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, which offers both pasta and pizza. It was our only option, so I took a chance and placed an order. To my delight, my kids devoured every bite, raving about how delicious it was and asking when we could order it again. I'm thrilled with the choice and can't wait to try their pizzas next!

    Gluten free mushroom light cheese.
    Jessica S.

    This review is strictly for our gluten free experience. This is a pick up only location. No dining in. The gal who took our order 5 stars! Answered all our detailed questions and was so sweet and awesome! They are gluten free, not just gluten friendly. They give you your pizza uncut. Just a heads up! If you are going to try to eat in the car bring your pizza cutters! =) The sauce is the best part. They use a nice cheese as well. We ordered 2 gluten free mushroom pizzas. Has anyone tried to eat this pizza before placing on the market at the locations? It was as hard as a rock. We couldn't bite through the crust. You can see in the photos the edges were very dark. The entire pizza was like that. The rice, eggwhite, corn, potato, tapioca recipe was solid. Too solid to bite. We all have cavity free healthy chompers. There was just no way to chew the crust. Not even in the center. Pizza top flavor yummy,, 1 star for being unedible. A pizza cutter would not cut, but it broke in half easily. The girls ate the light cheese and mushroom topping we requested off. That got us by until we went to another pizza place to get something we could chew. Lou's flavor and people are awesome. Just stay away from the gluten free. $40 for nothing.

    This is supposed to be deep dish?

    Pizza is not what it used to be. It's thin and lacks the flavor it once had. Very disappointing. Almost 50 dollars for a pizza and salad??? Never again.

    We asked for pre cut, but they also do uncut.

    Do they have wine?

    It's takeout only so I do not think they have beer or wine for purchase.

    Lil Capo Pizzeria 5.0/5 The Closest Thing to New York…read morePizza I've Found in Arizona Growing up in Upstate New York, I admittedly have high standards when it comes to pizza. After moving to Arizona in 2007, I've spent years searching for a slice that genuinely reminds me of home. While there are plenty of decent pizza spots throughout the Valley, very few capture that authentic New York style. Lil Capo Pizzeria absolutely does! Ironically, I first discovered Lil Capo after an Arizona Cardinals game. Like many people, I wasn't interested in paying stadium prices for mediocre food, so I jumped on Yelp looking for something nearby. Lil Capo had outstanding reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did because it's now my benchmark for New York-style pizza in Arizona. The first thing that stood out was the crust. This is exactly what a New York slice should be--thin, crispy on the bottom, slightly chewy inside, sturdy enough to fold, and never overloaded with grease. So many places think "New York style" simply means making a large slice. Lil Capo understands it's really about the balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and texture. Every bite reminded me why I miss pizza back east. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the cheese is perfectly proportioned, and everything tastes fresh without trying to reinvent what already works. Sometimes simplicity executed well is the hardest thing to accomplish. Pizza: 5/5 Service was equally impressive. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. After selecting our slices, they quickly reheated them to perfection and had them on our table within minutes. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria--fast, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable. Service: 5/5 I also appreciated the atmosphere. Lil Capo isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. Instead, it has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel where the focus stays exactly where it should--on making outstanding pizza. It's casual, comfortable, family-friendly, and somewhere you could easily become a regular. The pricing is another pleasant surprise. Considering the quality of the pizza and the generous slice sizes, I found everything to be very fairly priced. Overall Finding authentic New York-style pizza in Arizona has been surprisingly difficult over the years, but Lil Capo delivers exactly what I've been searching for. Authentic New York-style crust Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio Minimal grease Friendly, efficient service Fair prices Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere I've eaten pizza throughout New York my entire life, and Lil Capo remains the closest I've found to the real thing anywhere in Arizona. Whenever I'm on the west side of the Valley--or heading to or from a Cardinals game--I find myself looking for an excuse to stop in. Next time, I'm skipping the slices and ordering an entire pie. If you're a fellow New Yorker living in Arizona and craving a slice that tastes like home, Lil Capo should be at the top of your list.

    World-class pizza in AZ!…read more I have traveled the world and had many Pizzas, and this is hands-down one of the best pizza places I've ever experienced. Tucked away in the Westgate Mall, it's a compact, modern little spot that likely gets buzzing during the lunch hour. The service is excellent--you just order at the counter and they bring the pizza out to you. If you're in the area, do not pass this up. We'll absolutely be returning on our next trip to Arizona!
