I know good food. Go eat it. The locals said to and I did.

Ciccarelli's -- Coeur d'Alene…read more As someone who has traveled extensively -- including throughout Italy, one of my favorite places on earth -- I do not say this lightly: Ciccarelli's serves some of the finest pizza I have ever eaten. And I mean anywhere. Italy included. There is something almost impossible to describe about truly exceptional pizza. At a certain level, words begin to fail because great pizza is not analyzed... it's experienced. It's the kind of food that causes conversations to stop mid-sentence because everyone at the table suddenly realizes something special is happening. That's Ciccarelli's. I've lived in Coeur d'Alene barely three weeks and my wife and I have already been there three times. At this point, resistance appears futile. Every pizza we've tried has been a masterpiece. Not "really good." Not "our favorite in town." Masterpiece. The crust alone deserves poetry -- blistered, wood-fired perfection with that delicate balance of crispness, chew, char, and tenderness that only happens when people truly understand dough. Every ingredient tastes intentional. Nothing feels thrown together. Every bite -- from the tip of the slice to the outer crust -- is a full gastronomic experience. Favorites so far: THAT'S AMORE -- red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, black olives & mozzarella. THE SPICY ITALIAN -- spicy red sauce, pesto, Italian sausage, red onions, fresh mozzarella, parmesan & basil. Ridiculously good. THE STELLA -- olive oil base, goat cheese, prosciutto, apricot preserves & honey drizzle. Sweet, savory, luxurious, and somehow perfectly balanced. And the Pizza Margherita... Listen carefully: A Margherita pizza is the ultimate truth serum for a pizza restaurant. You cannot hide behind toppings. It exposes everything -- crust, sauce, cheese, balance, restraint, technique. Ciccarelli's passes that test with flying colors. Their Margherita has become my weekly sustenance pizza. And then... The desserts. Good grief. Most restaurants treat dessert like an afterthought. Ciccarelli's treats it like a sacred continuation of the meal. I am slowly working my way through their dessert offerings, but I keep getting derailed by the BLACK BOTTOM COCONUT CREAM PIE. I have been eating coconut cream pie for over seventy years. Seventy. I have NEVER had anything like this pie. The rich saturation of flavor... the generous texture of real coconut... the black bottom... whatever culinary sorcery is occurring back there needs to be protected by national treaty. It is so good that you could honestly justify visiting Ciccarelli's solely for dessert. Also outstanding: * Piña Colada Cream Pie * Strawberry Shortcake Torte * Napoleon * Cannoli The restaurant itself is immaculate, intimate, warm, and beautifully designed. Seating is limited, however, and deservedly so. My advice? Get there early or go on a weekday if possible. They also offer lovely outdoor seating. And finally, the family behind it all. There is something unmistakable about a place built by people who genuinely love what they do, love each other, and love the experience they are creating for others. You can feel it the moment you walk in. That kind of thing cannot be faked. Ciccarelli's is not merely a restaurant. It's one of those rare places people discover and then quietly hope doesn't become too famous because they still want to get a table. An absolute gem in Coeur d'Alene.

The first review I read before coming here warned that this place cares more about looking fancy…read morethan serving good food -- and I have to say, that almost kept me away. I'm so glad it didn't, because that review could not have been more wrong. Let's start with the pizza, because it deserves its own paragraph. Wood-fired, made by a chef actually trained in Italy, and you can taste every bit of that training in the crust. I'm talking about a crust that's crisp on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of char and crunch -- not too much, not too little, just perfect. I didn't leave a single bite on the plate. Every slice disappeared and I genuinely could have ordered a second pie on the spot. Then there's the service, which honestly might be the most underrated part of this place. Our server was attentive without hovering, checked in at exactly the right moments, and gave recommendations that felt like they actually knew the menu inside and out rather than just reciting favorites. Every suggestion hit. It's rare to feel that taken care of at a restaurant these days, and it made the whole meal feel even more special. And the vibe inside -- it's warm, thoughtful, and clearly put together with care, but never over the top or pretentious. You can tell the owners care about ambiance without trying to turn the place into a showroom. It struck that rare balance of feeling elevated and comfortable at the same time. Honestly, don't let one skeptical review talk you out of coming here like it almost did for me. This is a restaurant that nails the food, the service, and the atmosphere all at once -- which is harder to find than people think. I'll absolutely be back, and I'd tell anyone on the fence to just go.

Now on to the pizza, we were greeted when walked in and as we sat, we were given menus. So from other reviews I've read about the service here, what I will say is yes, the son has a quirky demeanor and service. However, his intention is good and does not mean to come off as short or inattentive...it just adds to his mysterious character. Anyways, he seems like a good kid (young adult) and is part of just the family business. Okay, on to the pizza for reals. The wixy nugs sounded very interesting and we tried the jalapeno cinna-sweet flavor. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect but had to order it out of curiosity. I'm glad I did! Some way, some how, the mix of spicy jalapeno coupled with cinnamon definitely works. Hard to describe, yet tasty. For my pizza, I ordered the Flying Hawaiian. But instead of ham or chicken, I went with pepperoni. I really enjoyed this pizza and all the combo flavors that melded together. My friend ordered the BBQ smoked pulled pork pizza and said it was great. Visually there was lots of fresh cilantro but it did not over power the pizza in general. They give you bottled water and they have canned soda for beverages. They do not sell alcohol. One thing to take note of is they stay open late. They close at 2am! Late night munchies? This is the spot. Oh did I mention, this pizza shop has a skateboard shop in it with awesome artwork!? Definitely a unique place to check out and eat some good pizza! Really enjoyed the mom and pop shop atmosphere, it's Mom making the pies and the son helping out. Dad's declining health allows him to come help at times. Support local small businesses, it's what really helps the world go round!
