    Yummy! Both were delicious!
    Stacy P.

    Stopped in last night for a quick bite. We haven't been to Monte's so we decided to try. Love a wood fire pizza. The place is small, clean and cute. We ordered two of the pizzas - Capricciosa and Primavera. They are thin crust and 12' personal size. The fab wood fire oven uses oak wood and smelled delish! I enjoyed a nice glass of white wine and they carry can beverages/beer. Outdoor seating available. Pizzas were great and took home leftovers. On our way out decided I needed the pistachio cannolis to go. Yum! Great local place with great authentic pizza! Takeout seems to be popular! Enjoy!!

    What a perfect surprise- pizza was on point, great pricing and staff that are trying hard! This brick oven dough was perfectly cooked and had great flavor- generous with toppings, offerings and openness to modify. Will definitely be back!

    The vegetarian add sausage.

    Questa pizza è buonissima! I was craving good pizza, and we found the place. It may look like a hole in the wall, but that can be a good sign. The oven was imported from Italy. The owner was imported from Italy. The pizza is virtually from Italy. Fresh ingredients. Great dough. So GOOD! I got the Vegetarian and added sausage. My husband got the Primavera and substituted olives for the pepperoni. We shared a bottle of Montepulciano. We finished the whole bloody thing. D E L I S H! Highly recommended by two pizza snobs.

    We happened upon this place from out of town, and I'm so glad we did! The 12" pizza for $20 was a perfect dinner for my husband and I. I was craving good quality pizza, and this hit the spot perfectly! I could tell we picked well when I saw how busy this tiny strip mall spot was. All 4 of the tables inside were full when we sat down, and multiple groups came in for to go orders during our visit. We even saw a couple with a NE Husker shirt on from our home state, which was such a fun surprise when 1200+ miles from home! The pizza took about 25 minutes to come out which surprised me, but there were only 2 guys working in the tiny open kitchen--taking orders, serving, and everything--so it made sense! The pizza came out hot and super fresh. We saw it taken out of the oven, watched it get topped, and passed over the glass to the other staff member who served up. These two guys worked together so well and really were working hard to make such high quality pizzas for so many orders!! I loved the flavor of this pizza crust and the toppings. It had a perfect amount of sauce, cheese, and meat. I loved the addition of pineapple on this one! Plenty of food for 2 people. I'm so glad we found this spot! There were many regulars which also proved to me how good it must be when guests began talking to the workers and even each other! Truly a local gem in the area!!

    Pizza with anchovies!  DELICIOUS!!!

    Delicious, Italian style artisan pizza with a thin and crusty-crust! Best ingredients and atmosphere. It won't disappoint

    Prosciutto e rucola 10/10 this was so delicious! Legit Napoli wood fire pizza, quality fresh ingredients and made with extra amore!

    Warning: Ridiculously Long Cheese Pulls That Might Require a Stepladder…read more Listen to me very carefully: I am Italian, I am from South Chicago, and what I say goes. Hands down, this is the best pizza in St. Pete. In a world obsessed with scanning QR codes and fighting with glitchy reservation apps, Cappy's relies on the ultimate, foolproof piece of technology: you write your name on a yellow legal pad. It is my absolute favorite system on earth. The old-school vibe doesn't stop there--you want a drink? Go grab it yourself out of the cooler, because they operate on the honor system. It's glorious. We were first-timers, but Rob took us under his wing and provided absolutely amazing service, guiding us through the experience like a seasoned sherpa. Respecting my roots, we obviously went with a Chicago Style Deep Dish, ordering "The Cappy" loaded up with sausage, ham, pepperoni, green pepper, onion, and mushroom. When this structural marvel of dairy and dough arrived, it defied gravity. The cheese pull was so ridiculously long I was genuinely concerned I was going to have to stand on my chair to finally snap it. The pizza was so incredibly thick and deep that, despite our most heroic and ravenous efforts, we could only conquer half of it. Carrying the takeout box with the remaining half back to the car literally felt like lugging a 10 lb weight. Come for the legendary deep dish, stay for the yellow pad, and prepare to get an upper-body workout just carrying your leftovers home.

We had perfect timing bc they open at 5pm on Sunday, and as soon as we got inside it started pouring. We sat by the window and watched the rain and enjoyed our fave Tampa Bay Deep Dish. There's nothing like this that's as good here and we have tried a lot. Hard to find a good Chicago Deep Dish. Our server was great and super helpful and friendly. Our overall experience and our amazing pizza was excellent!! There's a couple rooms for dining but the first room to the right of the entrance next to the window was where we were at. We will def ask for this table again. They also have outside patio tables for those nice twilight nights. Parking is free in their small lot or the street beside them.

The place is a true hole‑in‑the‑wall, which I liked, and it has a solid, laid‑back ambiance. Service was good, and both the cheesesteaks and the pizza we ordered for the table came out quickly. The pizza was great, no complaints there. But the cheesesteaks were extremely bland. Just steak, cheese, and onions -- nothing memorable, nothing with real flavor. I honestly don't understand how this spot gets such rave reviews for them.

Our server was hospitable & attentive. For drinks, I got the Isabella's Passion & it was sweet but not overpoweringly so. The passionfruit & honey had a great taste. As for our meals, I got the Agnolotti, & it was incredible. The small ravioli-type noodles were cooked well, & the short rib inside was flavorful & a great texture. The toppings added a good crunch & flavor. The sauce the dish came in was amazing & soaking the noodles in it in combination with the rest of the elements made each bite perfection. I'd come back & get the exact same thing again that's how much I enjoyed it. My friend got the Tableside Chicken Parmesan, which is a dinner special they're serving until September 30th, 2026. They bring out the chicken breast, & then pour a vat of the topping of fried cheese & sauce on top of it. It looks delectable, & my friend loved it. The sauce was delicious & the chicken wasn't dry at all. The vibe of the restaurant was very energetic & youthful, but sophisticated.

Terrible TERRIBLE service. Is it really that hard for a restaurant to get a SIMPLE order right? All that is on my pizza is basic shredded mozzarella, a PINCH of shredded basil, and some thinly sliced tomatoes I can hardly see or taste.

Their wood fried broccolini is a must try. It's now made us to use lemon zest in ours when we make it at home. The wings...wow! Perfect! Sticky and well cooked. The pistachio and chili's are a perfect combo. You don't get pistachio on wings anywhere I've been! The pizza...I mean come on look at the pics. This is a perfect fire oven pizza. So fluffy on the crust, the pizza itself is true Neapolitan pizza. I'm almost wishing they would serve it European style and not cut it. If they delivered their pizza uncut...I would've given them a standing ovation! Highly recommend and the service is excellent!
