Capizzi
8.4
A cozy brick-oven pizzeria built around personal pies with a crisp, lightly charred crust and an Italian-leaning topping list. It’s at its best when you keep the order classic—one red-sauce pie, one greens-or-mushroom pie—then finish with something from the dessert board.
Must-Try Dishes:
Wood-fired Margherita pizza, Prosciutto & fungi pizza, Tiramisu

What makes it special: Brick-oven personal pies with reliable char and clean balance.
Who should go: Dates and small groups craving sit-down pizza.
When to visit: Early dinner or late lunch for easiest seating.
What to order: Margherita, a mushroom or prosciutto pie, tiramisu.
Insider tip: Order two different pies for the table—one classic red, one topping-forward.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is very limited; garages nearby but expect Midtown rates. Not a drive-first spot.
Dress code: Smart casual. Jeans are fine, but it reads better with a slightly polished look for dinner.
Noise level: Moderate. Lively but still easy to hold a conversation at the table.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, especially after 7pm.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or a short wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes. Multiple vegetable-forward pies and classic cheese options work well.
Vegan options: Limited. Possible to customize a red-sauce, veggie pie without cheese, but not a dedicated focus.
Gluten-free options: Limited. Gluten-free crust availability can vary and cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes. The cozy room, shareable personal pies, and approachable price point make it relaxed but still intentional—easy conversation without feeling rushed.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes during lunch and early dinner. For weekend nights, expect a wait unless you arrive early or book ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally yes for older kids who enjoy pizza, but the tight dining room and date-night vibe make it better for teens than toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Sit-down, brick-oven pizza with real char and a cozy, date-ready atmosphere—stronger crust and balance than quick-slice spots nearby.
Consider Alternatives If: You want oversized slices, ultra-fast service, or a large-group-friendly space; this is about smaller pies and tighter quarters.
