D.

This pizzeria close to Waterloo station in Crosby is absolutely fantastic. I have tried many pizzas in Italy and across the UK and so far this is one of the best. Definitely much much better than famous “italian” pizzerias in London. Very simple space with a simple menu, as you would expect from an authentic Pizzeria in Italy. The dough is absolutely delicious, with a high crust thinning towards the centre. The toppings are amazing. Perfectly cooked in a wood fired oven. Absolutely a must try if you are in Liverpool. Luckily I just moved closed by and I will definitely go back.

My favourite restaurant! This place never disappoints, amazing crust on the pizza every time and the anti pasto is beautiful. Staff are absolutely fantastic and can’t do enough for you, great for families, great for couples, great for everyonex

S. K.

Struggling to find a better word than perfect. The dough is perfectly made - thin with the perfect crust. The pizza is baked in the wood fired oven till perfection. The topping combination was perfectly delicious! Genuinely recommend this place. Treat yourself and you won't regret it, I promise you that!

Heard loads of people talking about this place, so decided on a takeaway treat for father’s day. Phoned and asked to order some pizzas for a set time. Turned up at the restaurant, it was packed and the place was bouncing, but our pizzas were ready at the time requested, the staff were super friendly...got home and had the best pizza I’ve had in a long long time, they were absolutely delicious. Real quality, super cheesy and the wood fire really does make all the difference. Great to have this locally, can’t wait for another one, next time we’re going in to the restaurant for some of that atmosphere!

Ridiculously good pizza and phenomenal garlic bread which was some how better. If you like a neopolitan style pizza this is the gaff for you. Proper wood fire oven at a decent price. Pizzas average between 8-11 pound. With the most expensive one at 13. Also that garlic bread at £7.50 is a must. Good drink selection with bottles of peroni red for £3.75. Best pizza I've had in this country. Also got the salted caramel Cannolis for dessert which where again unreal. Definitely a must got those who love a neopolitan pizzeria

C. T.

What delicious pizzas. Lovely place with friendly staff. Will come again soon.

Having visited all Neapolitan pizzerias in Liverpool and a few classic ones in Naples, I can say this is the best one in Liverpool and just as good as the real ones. Wilson’s pear pizza is amazing.

T. B.

Erm, it's alright but I don't think I'd be getting this pizza again. It's priced too high for the quality. I had to remove all the ham (tasted kinda old) and artichokes (were extra dry) from my capricciosa pizza to make it taste dissent.

S. S.

Great pizza, but the place has changed since it started. Now the music is so loud you can barely hear you neighbour talking. I’d advise a takeaway…

P. H.

Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff. Small place so book ahead if you can but even if fully booked you can get a takeaway.

M. K.

Wow amazing pizzas honestly have to say the best I ever tried by far well done I really have to go Dine in now very soon thank you again Michael

L. C.

Hands down the best pizza around. As authentic as you will get. I can't recommend enough. Staff are lovely and helpful to. Would give it more stars if I could

D. J.

Great pizza, fresh and tasty, good wines to go with, highly recommend, staff are great Mike and John go above and beyond, will be back.

N. P.

Spur of the moment dinner with a friend. We got the last table! Staff were very friendly and attentive but not pushy. Food was delicious! Pizza base was perfect and the toppings tasty. A visible decorative traditional pizza oven added to the ambience... and probably taste! Highly recommended.

P. M.

Three for two pizza today - doesn't get better than this, best pizza around, the flavour from the wood oven is delicious. Lactose intolerance? No problem, really good vegan mozzerella. Busy but great service. An absolute gem.

I. R.

We've been a few times and the food is always amazing! Couldn't ask for better pizza or service, always friendly and welcoming when you go and such a gem to find outside of Italy. We live locally and use the takeaway service too, there are no bad things to say about this restaurant!!

P.

If Caps is one of those places you've seen and thought "I should try them", I urge you to do it. You won't be disappointed. With 24hr fermented dough that catches in the wood fired oven in just the right way I cant recommend these guys enough. I thought I had more pictures but by the time I've got these home I just want to dig in!

b.

Disappointed (to say the least). After being recommended regarding this place by a visiting London chef I know who makes a point of testing out pizza places around UK...and plus rave reviews here I was keen to say least. Imagine my disappointment when the overwhelming taste I got throughout was burnt carbon. If the underside and edges being charred black was part of Napoli authentic experience then I'm afraid it's wasted on me. Would have got lower stars , but the desserts were excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive. However won't be returning.

N. B.

We love this place... Food, drinks, service all brilliant. We travel from Huyton to eat here so are looking forward to the new restaurant opening nearer us soon! Definitely recommend a visit x

F. F.

I ate a sensational pizza with Florin Pizzaiolo, a man of 1000 resources, a great character if not for his second passion that cannot be told online, incredibly good pizza

J. A.

Gorgeous, traditional neapolitan pizza. No complaints about tastes, flavour or service: all perfect.

S. N. R.

Vibe: Family friendly nautical disco Service: excellent - friendly and helpful Food: Literally the best pizza I've had in my life. The menu felt like an italian hug. Had caprese to start - no fuss no frills, just tasty. The pizza crust was absolutely amazing. Light, fresh and utterly delicious. A real treat but the kind that isn't just for special occasions - just because. We'll be back!!

A. T. V.

This place is truly amazing! We've visited quite a few times since they've opened and the food is always spot on, the service is perfect and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating! The pizza is some of the best we've had, and their inclusion of a decent vegan menu is a godsend to us. We never hesitate to come here for great food and boss atmosphere! Definitely give it a go if you're ever in the Waterloo areas, you won't be disappointed!

R. T.

The truffle fries are worth going for alone, pizzas are fresh and it’s value for money - defo going back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

L. J. (.

The best service, pizza an value around. A little gem

G. C.

Wow amazing, knotty ash by far the best restraint I have ever been too! And I’ve been to a lot. There service spot on there food spot on

d. b.

Never fails to impress me this place. Best pizza I've had in the city.

H. H.

First class pizza and friendly service, the Wilson's Pear is something else👌

M. P.

Went to IL Capitano's early Wednesday evening (09/06/21). I have used the takeaway service throughout lockdown and always enjoyed the pizza but I have to say getting them direct from the wonderful oven took them to a different level. Absolutely delicious 😋 Terrific little restaurant with pleasant attentive staff and a good buzz. Very reasonably priced as well. What's not to like. Highly recommended.

J. W.

Just an amazing place food to an extremely high standard and staff so welcoming

L.

Hey this place is great! Pizza olives wine and desserts to die for. Had such a lovely night. Great atmosphere and didn’t feel like we were in St John’s Rd. Fantastic value fir money will definitely be returning. Thank you

H. C.

Fantastic pizza. Ive only had take-out and always been really impressed. They made me a four cheese pizza as per my request and it was excellent. The restaurant looks beautiful as well.

d. b.

Been waiting to go here since it opened.....and I wasn't disappointed!!! 😁 Fantastic pizza. My new favourite place. Pizza base was amazing...an integral part in my humble opinion 😉 And thanks to the staff, they were great! Only too happy to help. Defo give it a try👍🏼

P. F.

Without doubt, the best Pizza we have ever eaten. We went for the speciality pizzas from the menu which were a spicy chorizo type pizza and the seafood Pizza. Did not think i would be a fan of the seafood one, but it was simply amazing. Perfect base and toppings on both pizzas. Selection of wines were also great. Atmosphere was service were superb ! We were both really looked after. Looking forward to returning.

N. E.

The pizzas are really nice and feel like a healthy fix. Don’t usually love pizza but would recommend this restaurant lovely staff and amazing food.

h. d.

Fantastic thin crust pizza's which delicious toppings. The staff took care of our family and made us so welcome. The pizza was washed down with a lovely Spanish red wine. Great staff!

J. W.

Words cannot do justice to the pizza here. From “award winning” pizza in Edinburgh to pizza in Napoli the pizzas at il capitanos make these sultry imitations taste a pile of dirt. Nothing compares to the pizza, the wine and most importantly the service and I cannot state enough the PIZZA! Please if you’ve considered this place, BOOK! You won’t regret it, in fact you’ll never be able to eat a pizza anywhere else!

P. W.

Best pizza in crosby, by a long stretch. Have a go of the tirramasoo and pistchio riccotta cake, topdrawer.

B. J.

Great experience, friendly staff, amazing food. Great little atmosphere, perfect for an evening meal with a family or friends. Pizza is amazing, loved it- baked in a huge pizza oven visible from the front of the restaurant. Overall a great place to eat :)

A. F.

D. e. D.

A cosy and atmospheric environment, somewhere I would return to eat again. Foods good too.

J. H.

The best pizza I’ve ever had, great vibe and attentive staff. We can’t wait to go back

A. G.

Really nice atmosphere and food. However menu was very limited (hope you like pizza!!) and we had to wait a while for mains. Saying that, though, the staff were very good and drinks and starters delivered in very short time

P. G.

Booked in for a group of 10 11/12 year old girls. The staff were amazingly accommodating and patient (and so were the fellow diners). The pizzas are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to go back as just a family.

M. N. S.

Best pizza ever! Highly recommended 🙌😊

R. H.

Amazing traditional Italian pizza! (Also cater for vegans!) Small place but nice decor and atmosphere. Friendly staff, prompt service and very reasonable prices. 😁🍕

J. H.

Not only are the pizzas gorgeous but the staff are so friendly and helpful. I don't think I've ever actually been able to pick a time for delivery for a take away. Really cheered up what should have been a rubbish lockdown birthday.

E. E.

Visited here for the first time last Saturday. Headed back this Sat which I think says all you need to know! I had the carbonara pizza and tiramisu which I'd happily recommend.

S. T.

Lovely staff, excellent wood fired pizzas which are a decent size and some great puddings too. You cant go wrong in here, family or couple its classy and not too expensive.

M. G.

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff. We will be visiting regularly. The pizzas are superb.

A. B.

Normally I do not trust English pizza and the related reviews that do not speak Napoletano or Italiano. This time I got to say I have been surprised not only by the starter which include s range of variety of salame, bresaola and pancetta but the dough of the pizza is soft and light. Well done guys

S. G.

Just had a superb evening in this great addition to St John's Rd. Jay was a brilliant host, serving up some tremendous pizzas in a relaxed setting. Highly recommended.

J. M.

Delicious. The quality of the ingredients really shows. If you want proper pizza, this is the place to go.
