Pizzicata - Mesa

My friend and I ate breakfast there on Wednesday, October 15. The menu prices were very reasonable. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. I ordered the Carbonara Scramble which consisted of bacon, sausage, onion and cheddar jack cheese scrambled with 2 eggs. It also came with a slice of toast made from homemade bread. The price was $13. My friend ordered the Green Chili Omelette consisting of eggs, green chiles, cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, covered in green chile sauce topped with pico, sour cream and avocado. Her dish also came with the same 2 sides. Both plates were delicious and hit the spot! We sat in front of a large window which overlooked the beautiful golf course. We did notice flies on these windows as we ate. That was the downside of our dining experience. The women’s restroom was closed so the men’s was designated for both men and women. The toilet in the stall I used wasn’t working as well as it should have so there might be a sewage issue???

We had the Dolce & Gabbana pizza, the pepperoni pizza and Lobster ravioli dish. Everything was delicious. Best pizza we have had in a long time. Friendly atmosphere and beautiful on the inside.

Brand new spot in Mesa right by the Westgate Painted Mountain Golf Resort, and it’s already one of my favorites. My wife and I have known the owner, Stephanie, for a while — she was our go-to server at a couple other restaurants, and when we found out she and her husband opened this place, we had to follow her. Service has always been top notch, and it’s no different here. The food? 🔥 Literally. Everything is cooked in a legit wood-fired oven, and you can taste the difference. Pizzas, calzones, fine wines — all done right. They’ve also got indoor and outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is classy without being pretentious. Think first date or anniversary dinner vibe, but also big enough to host large parties. Prices are reasonable — a little more than your chain diners, but not as pricey as the big steakhouses. Definitely worth it for the quality and the service you’re getting. Big bonus: they’ve got Luca, a real Italian guy with the accent and everything. Makes the place feel authentic, like you’re getting the full Italian experience right here in Mesa. Only thing I’d tweak? The menu is a little hard to read — but my wife says I’m just being picky and that it’s classy, so I’ll let that slide. Overall, highly recommend checking out Pizzicata. Great food, great people, great vibe. This place is going to be a Mesa staple. 📍 Pizzicata – Mesa (by Power Rd. & McKellips, near Westgate Painted Mountain Golf Resort)

We love Pizzacta and have been coming here anytime we’re craving authentic Italian food. We didn’t realize it was under new ownership until last night, but everything tastes exactly the same—which we love. The new décor gives the restaurant a warm, inviting feel, and the service was great and very prompt. We ordered the Neapolitana Travolta pizza, the Regina Margherita pizza, and the linguine shrimp fra diavolo with chicken—everything was excellent. We will definitely be back to try breakfast! 🍕🍝

Both styles of pizza were bad, undercooked,not even good leftover and overpriced. Cesar salad came with a different dressing when we asked for some extra. Very large salad with very little dressing. Service and atmosphere were great.

Went for dinner Monday 12/29/25. Food was pretty good, but not great. Server was pretty good. Atmosphere was leaving a little to be desired. I made a reservation for my parents, my daughter in from Seattle, and myself and while again the food was pretty good, and the server was good, the busser creeped us all out big time. He would come to the table, not say a word and stand there with his arms out, expecting us to collect and hand him everything. And when I thanked him, he said, "this ain't chik fil a bro". I am old enough to be this kids dad, and he calls me bro, and seems to lurk over the table like he was trying to be intimidating. Vitos is better and has a much more comfortable environment. The kid also mentioned he had been bussing tables for 16 years, so I hope he is family to the owner or, well.....great job buddy. Just bad impression after that from this place, probably won't be back. Too bad because we really were looking forward to it

Pizzicata Pizzeria Ristorante Mesa is an absolute gem! Chef Viola and Federico Venturini have brought something truly special to Mesa, and it shows in every bite. I had the veal parmigiana — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best I've had in Arizona. I paired it with an Aperol Spritz (which was fantastic), and finished with a Limoncello — good, though the Spritz was the standout. The Mona Lisa pizza my daughter ordered was also excellent, with high-quality ingredients and a perfect crust. We also tried the calamari (crispy and fresh) and the Italian fries — both are must-haves! The service was top-notch — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual and elegant, with beautiful artwork and a warm, welcoming vibe. This building holds a lot of memories for me. I used to work here when it was a country club restaurant called Camelot under Chef Donna Handcock. I started as a dishwasher and worked my way up to breakfast cook when I was just 18. It’s changed ownership and names a few times since then, and I don't believe it's connected to the golf course anymore — but it was really special to return and see how beautifully it's been transformed. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine with heart and history behind it. Welcome to Mesa, Pizzicata — we’re lucky to have you!

The pizza is excellent. Wood fire pizza and perfect taste and ingredients. The people are very friendly and great service. I would definitely come back for the cacciatore Italian pizza and famous tiramisu. Is a great must dine in for Italian food and everything else. Me and my family will definitely come back. Thank you

Initially I visited the restaurant in Carefree and I had a wonderful lunch. Fantastic staff, delicious food and a very comfortable atmosphere. Sadly, I was recently at the Mesa location and I was extremely disappointed. It seemed like there was only one server. The server didn't introduce himself. We ask if four adults could eat one large pizza, he didn't elaborate and just said yes. When the large pizza arrived at our table I thought we were getting a complimentary appetizer because our order was talking so long. We asked for a second pizza with a special request, our waiter said he would ask the chef. Our server disappeared. We were left sitting around wait for our second pizza. A guest in our party got up to use the restroom and discovered that our pizza was complete but it fell on the floor. Rather than keeping the table informed and letting us know what happened the restaurant staff just left us sitting outside. I really wanted to order dessert but again our waiter blew us off. We got up, paid for our meal and left. I recommend visiting the location in Carefree.

We stopped by Pizzicata to have lunch with a friend last weekend. None of us have ever been, but were quickly impressed by the sprawling dining room and the picturesque golf course views. Our server was friendly right off of the bat and explained the menu to us, highlighting fan-favorite dishes. We started off with the cheesy garlic bread which was so important. It was seriously the best garlic bread I have ever had. We were all seriously impressed. For my meal, I had the chicken parmigiana. I order this at almost every Italian restaurant I go to, and Pizzicata was clearly no exception. I really enjoyed the contrast of the creamy Alfredo sauce against the marinara. The chicken was breaded and fried perfectly and was delicious. We were much too full for dessert, but vowed to try it next time. Overall, great experience!

I had the best breakfast today at Pizzacata. Their BREAKFAST PIZZA IS. DELICIOUS . CARBANARA BREAKFAST was enjoyed by my friend and great tooo. I can't wait to go back !

Great view of the golf course! Very casual place with great food and refreshing drinks. This restaurant has golf course views and a very friendly servers. The pizza here is cooked in a high heat pizza oven and comes out with a crispy and slightly charred crust which we really enjoyed. I tried the arancini and calamari appetizer with pizzacata for dinner.

The owner is welcoming. The place is beautiful. The food was amazing and the view is gorgeous. Really enjoyed our meal.

Our first visit was last night. We ordered the Travolta wood fired pizza and a bottle of wine. Our server, Spencer, did a good job taking care of us. The restaurant was remodeled to achieve a feel of Italy. I would give it another visit to try some other items on their menu!

Excellent food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. A group of us had dinner on the deck overlooking the golf course. The pizza (even the low carb stuff) was amazing. Follow-up visit with friends and it was even better!

To toast my 900th review on Yelp, I knew I needed to do something a little special and go with someone to celebrate. Who better than my Yelp Bestie/Cousin Chelsey H.?! This location has been bookmarked to try as I saw a Yelp friend review and saw they had Caprese. If you know me, you know I'm a Caprese aficionado and always looking to see who locally has the best Caprese! When you pull into the very large parking lot, you will want to enter from the right side labeled patio. It can be a little confusing as we walked to the left as it was labeled restaurant, but it was the golf resort side. Once we entered, the hostess was very friendly and asked if we wanted a window view which was a nice touch. Genuinely amazing how beautiful the view was as we both witnessed a sunset and the rolling in of a monsoon storm. The beauty of Arizona in the summer! To start the meal, we began with Caprese which despite the menu I didn't realize didn't come with balsamic. Shame on me for not reading it fully lol. I personally love balsamic glaze and/or balsamic vinegar, so we asked the waitress (receipt says Serena - we didn't catch her name sorry!) who grabbed a bottle which added the little something I felt it missing (personal preference). Before we could even finish the caprese salad, the beautiful vegetariana pizza came out. Pictures do not do it justice as this pizza was perfectly crunchy and the vegetables cooked perfectly! Since we were on a roll, we ended the night with the brownie that's topped with vanilla gelato and whipped cream. Though the texture didn't seem quite brownie-like, it was incredibly rich and delicious! Ended the meal on a sweet note. Definitely recommend this location if you are in the area, and when I have a craving for good pizza then I'll drive the 10 miles from my house to try this place again!

Started with the charcuterie board!! It was a lot of food and very good! We also had the eggplant meatballs and enjoyed them. All the pizza we have tried have been excellent. They don't make a bad one!! All the servers are super friendly and the outdoor patio is nice and quiet!

Amazing pizza with an amazing view! It's prime patio season and the Pizzicatta at Painted Mountain golf course has one of the best. They serve two different styles of authentic Italian pizza, both out of a fancy pizza oven straight from Italy. Each bite is bursting with authentic taste from fresh ingredients. Next to the pizza, the meatballs are my favorite thing on the menu, but I've yet to try anything that I don't like. The homemade pasta and deserts are also delicious.

Great pizza spot. Lots to choose from. They have much more than pizza, so don't make a decision until you see the menu. Cute place and the service was great.

Sitting on an outdoor patio , January with a view of the golf course and mountains beyond and great food to come. Three of us came for lunch and wound up with neopolitan style margherita pizza . Crust was awesome, tight with a great chew. Well cooked and ample sauce to cheese ratio... it's the proportion folks. I like mine a little stiffer on the crust but I ate the entire thing, followed by ice cold peroni in a glass. Service was perfect.. lovely server, good knowledge ( I mean he hails from Umbria) And he knew how to bring food with a flourish. Grazie, prego, you get the idea. And the basil on the pizza is not scorched to ash, thank you. It's placed on the pizza out of the oven. We spent two hours chatting relaxing, Italian style. No push to change over the table, no hanging out for the end of our luncheon. This was service , perfect service!!! And the view, and the food. Epic!

We had heard good things about this restaurant and came here for dinner. They had a very extensive menu. Pasta made in house, amazing pizzas and Pinsa which is an old Roman pizza idea. We ordered the meat lovers pizza, the Regina Margarita pizza, a salad, and the Arancini. Everything was very good. The pizza, both of them. Were absolutely incredible ! They have a fabulous pizza oven here in the restaurant that must be magical. The pizza specialist is Chef Matteo. We sat on the balcony which overlooked the golf course. As the sun went down, The gentle lights come on. ( See Photos )They had live music outside, not too loud but , a nice volume. We also had a great server, Zach. We got to meet the owner, a real Italian from Italy and the pizza chef. Also Italian. We found the restaurant is amazing. The ambience is beautiful. So excited to have good pizza in Mesa.

If you appreciate authentic and delicious Italian food, you should be eating here. Some of the best pizza I've had outside of the northeast! Anyone who has been understands a good crust, and Pizzicata nailed it. The owners and wait staff were super friendly, attentive, and took the time to chat when they could. I'll be back and often!

Tried the new breakfast menu and it was delicious!! The cinnamon rolls are a MUST to start. The green chili omlet with chorizo was also so delicious. Will definitely be back to try more !

Great food if you're seeking wood-fired pizza and quality ingredients. Their salads are pretty and fresh. The place is huge, and I hope they will fill the walls and stay open. We had a great experience. The owners stopped by to introduce themselves, and they were friendly and welcoming.

This might have been the most delicious, magnificent, saucy, perfect, and dang I may say cute pizza I have ever had. The second this sweet succulent pizza hit my lips... Lets just say I was dang near star-stuck. I quiver at the thought of coming back here. I will in fact be returning for much much more. Just know, this pizza place will never go out of business single-handedly by me. Written by yours truly, -The biggest Pizzicata fan ever.

Went here for my hubby's birthday with our family. Server Ben is extra helpful and from Philly like I am so it felt extra "at home". The pizza dough is amazing-they do wood fired Neopalitan style- and the pasta was house made and delightful, the bolognese in particular was a huge hit. Where they fell short for me was dessert- cannolis were meh but the cocktails and food were pretty spot on. Nice place with beautiful views of the golf course and TONS of seating. We never worry about getting in here. Great place to day drink and munch on pizza!!!

This place is situated on a golf course. The inside is very nice but if the weather is nice you can't beat the patio the overlooks the course. The menu is extensive and eclectic. A wide variety of homemade pastas and calzones as well as salads and desserts. But the real winner here is the variety of pizzas. I e tried 3 pizzas and 2 pastas and every bite was delicious. Amazing variety of flavors and everything fresh. Lastly, the service is top notch. Friendly, efficient and attentive. Highly recommend - we will be back.

The atmosphere was fantastic by the golf course, I loved the live music with Shane on the patio. Authentic Italian pizza place with wood fire oven. Fresh ingredients. Service was excellent. We will be back soon!

Food is mediocre at best. They charge us $5.00 for a fountain drink and $8.00 for a Mexican coke in the 16.9 ounce bottle, not even the 1/2 liter size. Total thieves. Coke in the bottle is about $1.50 a bottle by the case at Costco and I don't mind them making a profit, but 7X the cost and they get it a whole sale. Probably made 10X what it cost them. I know they make most of their money on drinks, but this is a total rip off. Avoid at all cost. Their food is also over priced and definitely not worth what they charging. Many other good pizza places close by. Try one of those others places instead, and avoid these guys and their extremely over inflated prices and so so food. As for the customer service? Just drive by their empty lot. It's empty for a reason. I give it one star, but I don't think it lives up to that. I have been there a couple of times now and I definitely won't be back and will tell anyone who listens to pass on by.

OK so finally had opportunity to go back and try the past dish. It was nice to be greeted by our first waitress who remembered us and welcomed us back. She also welcome people behind us that came month ago.. That was impressive. Way to go Megan. So it was pretty busy for Tuesday night which I was happy to see. Initial contact from our new waitress Paola took little long but I saw she was busy attending to other tables. But once she came to our table rest of the service was outstanding. Ordered Farmhouse salad to start which was really good. Nice combination of greens and they all tasted fresh. Salad dressing was also yummy. Then off to long awaited pasta dishes (which ended up being like 10 days ) already had pizza to go 3 times prior. Ordered the Bollognese Dello chef and lasagna as main dish. My dish Bollognese Dello chef.. I don't know what to say.. Looked yummy first initial taste I didn't fall off the table and had my moment of silence.. But man it was still yummy.. First I thought the portion wasn't big as I expected but as I was eating I realized it was perfect amount. Not a big fan of lasagna in general. But man I would say this lasagna was one of the best I tasted at a restaurant. Cheese was nice and yummy not over powering. One thing I was little confused was the extra tangyness in the marinara.. Never had that flavor of Mariana sauce on lasagna but still tasted yummy. Over all I was very happy with the dishes. I'm so glad I finally have my favorite local Italian restaurant that is also close to me. . Also loved the fact that manager or owner (I don't remember ) that was walking around the table greeting guest and asking how things were. That was very nice extra touch, you don't see that much anymore. I did ask him as to why they didn't carry certain type of pasta dish I love.. He did inform me that they are adding some new dishes to the menu.. Which made me smile.. .. This place gona suck all my money dry. . I ain't gona lie, after my dinner I was tempted to order pizza to go.. (I love their pizza ). But my belly told me I shouldn't.. So I opted not to.. Thank you guys for opening this place...

Food is great, fast, reasonable. Interesting pizza sizes and options. Service was good, ordered online pickup was a breeze.

Hey y'all, This place was on my radar for awhile and finally had an opportunity to visit. I love authentic pizza Napoletana so I was excited about this place. They really promote the other pizza variety, Pinsa Romana, but don't bite, it's not nearly as good as the wood fired pizza Napoletana. They'll tell you about how much healthier it is for you, and much like everything that's offered as a healthy alternative, it's falls short on flavor and texture. it's not nearly as delicious and doesn't have the wood fired char crust. We tried 3 different pizza varieties and they were very good. The appetizers were just ok, we had the mozzarella sticks, Caesar salad and Italian fries. The service was a bit awkward but decent. There were a lot of noisy and buzzed golfers in the far corner who disrupted the ambiance. I would like to go back and try some of their pasta dishes. I recommend this place.

My BFF treated me to lunch on my birthday 2 days ago. It was a perfect day for lunch on the patio. Food was fabulous as usual. We shared an appetizer, Frito Misto; I had Wagyu meatballs, she had Gnocchi Sorrentina, Tiramisu for dessert plus a freebie dessert as well. Got a small pizza to go(meat lovers). Everything was outstanding, including the service from our Italian waiter.

We were in Northeast Mesa the other day running some errands and decided to stop at this restaurant based on the outbreeding and the fact that we were hungry for some Italian food. The restaurant's been open for a month it's at the painted mountain Golf course so they have a great patio overlooking the golf course. It was a little bit of a cool night and we sat on the patio and unfortunately there were no heaters because they did not have any propane for the heaters which is kind of a big mistake and part of the reason why I didn't give them five stars. The service was outstanding though. We ordered a Caesar salad the split and it was delicious. The lasagna was outstanding The only thing that I would recommend is just a little bit more marinara on the plate with the lasagna it was a little on the dry side. The sauce was delicious though. My wife got the linguine with meatballs and it was also delicious. The pasta noodles are homemade which I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference that makes when you're eating Italian food. The bread which you have to ask were by the way is house made and it is perfectly prepared. I will be stopping back again in the future hopefully they will have heat for the patio lol. I want to try the pizza too. They have the so many pizzas to choose from.

Tucked away in the golf community of Painted Mountain, you're greeted by a large patio with string lights and Italian music- Sinatra, Buble. The chefs might be seen tossing pizza dough to entertain the crowd. There is a small bar and huge inside restaurant that could easily accommodate large groups. The place just opened so I'm giving a lot of grace, I would love to come back and update to a 5 star review. Our server didn't seem very well trained, she never took our menus away or our salad plates and empty glasses and we had to ask for water refills. The red wine I ordered was $14 and was maybe 4 oz. Tiny. It was served at room temperature. I asked if they had any chilled red and they don't. Red should be slightly chilled imo. The Old Fashioned was small and had regular ice instead of the traditional large cube or ball. Superfood salad, again a very small portion for the price but it was fresh and tasty and the house made dressing delicious. We asked for bread, it was brought with no butter or oil until we asked. I think it was sourdough but it was very good, dense with a nice crust. I ordered the homemade Gnocci with Gorgonzola sauce and the sauce was rich and full of flavor. Perfect dish. Husband ordered the Chicken Picatta and other than the pasta being a bit undercooked (just a bit under el dente) it was perfect. It was our anniversary so the owner suggested a special desert - I don't know what it's called but it was almost like a donut or begniet, fried, sweet, drizzled with Nutell. Perfection!

We came here for dinner on their opening night tonight. 11/6/23. My whole family is so very excited to have this fun, new, vibrant, exciting and delicious authentic Italian restaurant in the east valley. We've lived in the area for 23 years and have longed for a restaurant that promises to offer what this restaurant has been advertising on social media for the last few months. I realize this was their opening night so I do take that into consideration while writing this review. However, since they do have an existing restaurant already located in Carefree, I would expect a lot of the issues with food quality wouldn't be an issue as it's not entirely a brand new concept for this owner. After reading some of the Carefree location yelp reviews and the owner's responses to them, I am a little nervous to write about our true experience here tonight but I really want this place to succeed so I am going to share my thoughts in the hopes that it will be taken as constructive feedback. I am actually a little shocked at some of the owner's responses to customers who are trying to share their valid experiences about his restaurant- We ordered the Caprese salad but never got it. The instagram photos made it looked delicious. But I guess I will never know if it's good. The calamari and shrimp appetizer is severely overpriced at $18. It is a very, very small portion and the presentation is so unappetizing. It is served in a small, crumbled brown paper bag that is soaked in grease. The calamari portion was two tentacles and a a few rubbery rings with a three, tiny little shrimp mixed in. Not even remotely good. The fried cheese $10- Came with five Cisco brand fried cheese sticks in the crumpled up paper bag. I'm Not a fan of presenting greasy fried food in a paper bag that soaks up all the grease. The Bolognese- This dish is one of my absolute favorite hearty Italian dishes of all time - Unfortunately this entree was Absolutely flavorless..The sauce was so bland and the meat mixture was minimal at best, not hearty and tasteless. The whole Dish was extremely disappointing and I'm not even sure the pasta was Pappadelle. (NORTH in Kierland has the most delicious Bolognese) There's no comparison between the two dishes- and I don't even think those chefs are first generation Italian. The Calzone was exceptionally dry. We had to ask for a side of red sauce to dip it in just to eat it. The Chicken Parmigiana - chicken was so thin- so over beaten it ruined the texture - fettuccine way undercooked- again, very bland, no flavor, no spices. No lemon, no capers The pizzas. Ugh. I LOVE PIZZA. I eat pizza probably three times a week. I will go to the same restaurant everyday and switch between pizza and Bolognese and be happy as a lark. Both of the pizzas we ordered were SO DRY And one crust was burnt all around the edges. The texture of the crust was so HARD and Very "milly." No yummy pillowy softness or decadent cheesy bites to be had. You really need a side of sauce to dip it in just to keep you from choking. We each ate one piece of each pizza and didn't want anymore. The Amatriciana pizza also did not have any fresh mozzarella as it stated on the menu. I was also surprised that they brought out the old pizza hut jar of powdered parmesan instead of offering freshly grated cheese for the pizza. The dessert menu offered some lovely choices that sounded delicious but after the experience we'd had so far with the food, I wasn't excited to try a dessert. The ambiance seemed fun in the bar area and on the patio but the dining area over by the windows with the "golf course view" is so sterile. Very bright white walls and ceilings with nothing to soften the acoustics. I would recommend installing several long velvet drapery panels to cover a few of the sterile walls in the area and add tablecloths - it will really help to add warmth and coziness as well as soften the acoustics in that area- we were also sitting under a speaker and the music was BLARING IN OUR EARS. But, I will say, I did love the FRANK SINATRA ballads. Perfect music choice. I would also add candles to the tables. (How can you not have candles??) I hope you don't take offense to this review as I probably want this restaurant to succeed as much as you do. There's a few restaurants near you that are going to be your competitors (Alesias, Vito's, Pacinos, Spinatos- even RWB will give you a run for your money with pasta dishes) if you don't fix some of these things right away people won't return to give you a second chance. I know I won't. We (six of us) spent almost $200 eating here tonight and not one person enjoyed anything they ordered, or are excited to return nor would we recommend this restaurant to anyone else.. Staff were kind and professional. The black menus with the itty-bitty teensy tiny writing are impossible to read. The do Offer gluten free pasta and pizza options for $5 up-charge.

We finally have a Neopolitan Anna pizza place in the far east Valley.. Read lots of reviews on their place up and carefree, so we wanted to give this place a try. They did not disappoint. Went early because I figured this place would get busy as it's pretty new. We were immediately sat and greeted by our waitress.. A few drinks from the bar, which were tasty. But when you come to a place like this, you come for the pizza. Pizza was cooked perfect. The sauce was tangy the cheese was high-quality.. my son devoured his pizza and is already requesting to go back. This place seems like it's gonna be a very busy spot in the East Valley. Will likely be our new favorite pizza joint. can't wait to explore the rest of the menu ..

As soon as you walk in you can smell the deliciousness !!! Good luck to the owners !!!

We ordered takeout pizzas and they were ready pretty quickly and were delicious. It was convenient as we were staying in a hotel nearby. I would recommend. Very nice place.

For clarity, our server first alleged that mushrooms and mozzarella were only advertised on the on line menu for pork braciole. When we checked the actual hard copy restaurant menu, mozzarella and mushrooms were also advertised as part of the recipe. Since we never touched the dish, of course, our server was required to remove it from our bill, since he brought the untouched dish back to the kitchen. Of course he offered to bring us a different dish that we would be charged for, but by then, our meal was ruined. Most restaurants that falsely advertise and are called on it, both apologize in words and actions (by offering to pay for my beer, for example) . The business manager's response is telling. No apology for false advertising and no action to rectify the offense. We won't be going back. Arrogance has no place in the hospitality industry. We will be going to Goat and Ram for our pizza.

Went to Pizzicata for the first time this week after my parents RAVED about it. They were right! The food is very authentic on this Mesa golf course. We sat outside in the evening which was truly the best atmosphere to spend time with family and share great food. The service was very attentive and kind. This is not a fancy place by any means but the food is great!

We have been here several times in the past few months. It never disappoints food is amazing every time. The service is always friendly great and they are very attentive to their customers! The ambiance is perfect. Love you can sit to over look the golf course or up front by the TV. The new owners were super sweet. This is definitely place to check out for amazing dinner!

Actually chose this place cause it was close to where we were staying however, once I walked in, saw the oven and smelled the air. I knew the food was going to be delicious. True Italian pizza just like I remember in Naples. I'm not sure if she is the GM or the owner, but the person who visited our table was from Venice, adding an even bigger flair of authenticity to the food. We had a pizza of each style. One Napoli style and one Roman style. Both were authentic and delicious. The other true benefit of eating in an a real Italian restaurant using an authentic Italian oven is that it cooks the pizza very fast so the food came out quick. In addition to the food, there was live music and being able to sit outside with a table warmer, live music and that food made it just an overall incredible finish to the night.

Overall a nice Friday dinner with a fun view of the golf course from the patio! Stopped in around 6 pm on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. We were seated at the patio per our request since the weather was nice, and the golf course view was great! We ordered a house salad, Leonardo pizza, and veal parmigiana. The house salad was basic but good and decent sized portion, the Leonardo pizza was very tasty as well. The veal parmigiana was good but for $30 my husband would have appreciated a slightly bigger portion --it seemed noticeably small. Service was just ok, it took a while to order and receive water and other tables received bread which we never did. Food came out relatively quickly although I could tell my pizza had been sitting out for a few minutes before I received it. I'd definitely come back to sit on the patio and enjoy a pizza or a different pasta dish! It's a casual environment and a big space so it was nice to just walk in and enjoy.

Stopped in here for dinner one night. Located at Longbow Golf Course. We sat at the bar but there was a large dining room and a patio as other options. It looked like there was going to be a live singer after we left. Service was quick. The cheesy breadsticks were very cheesy and the pasta was a perfect Al dente. Next time I'll have to try the pizza.

Cheerful service, unassuming ambience and outstanding food. We tried the garlic bread which was crispy and thin, so even eating a whole plate of it didn't ruin our appetite. It was flavorful and served with a side of hot homemade marinara. 10/10! I tried the eggplant parmesan with fettuccini and the portion size was worthy of the $22 price tag. The pasta was absolutely delicious. Perfect bite and chew. The eggplant was stacked high and was so tender it melted in your mouth. 11/10 Such a nice surprise to find such delicious Italian right here in Mesa. Can't wait to go back and try more options.

I just realized that Painted Mountain Golf Club is where I've been playing for the past 6 months and it is home to a great Italian restaurant. I took my wife here for pizza and she loved it. They are all one size, 12 inches and the dough has a crispy and chewy crust. I had the Travolta pizza and my wife had the Sophia Loren. Both were delicious, but I should have had them hold the bell peppers on the Travolta. We had the Caesar Salad which was fresh and topped with shaved parmigiana. Service was excellent and attentive. I paid using the QR code on the receipt which I don't think the server ever had a customer pay that way. It kinda startled the server and wanted to double check that I in fact paid.

We had a reservation and walked in to be told we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Hostess was rude and clearly overwhelmed, the entrance is super crowded with nowhere to stand except directly in front of the door. Once seated, the tables didn't appear to be all that clean, and the parmesean and peppers were sitting out on every table in little open dishes with spoons to add them to your food, which seemed odd and unhygienic. We had supposedly booked a 4 course dinner for $59 but there was no mention made of it when we arrived. (I'm glad, I saw another couple that had one of the dishes and it looked horrific) We ordered the calamari and shrimp $18 and recieved and absolutely tiny portion of clearly pre-frozen shrimp and calamari with what appeared to be a bottled sauce. It was bland, and chewy. We asked for a side of marinara which took almost 20 minutes to actually get. We should have just left but it was valentines day and there was no way to get into someplace nearby without prior reservations. I tried to order a fried calzone only to be told they couldn't do a calzone because they needed to "save room in the fryer" again, we should've just left. I settled on a pizza and asked for no onions or bell peppers, and my wife ordered a pizza as well. $19 for mine $17 for hers When they arrived, my pizza had BOTH bell peppers and onions on it, the server made an excuse that it was the "wrong pizza" (she wasn't writing down orders) and had it remade. What arrived was a floppy, soggy mess with what tasted and felt like bagged, shredded mozzerella, cheap pepperoni and generic tasting italian sausage. My wife's pizza looked like a pre-made pizza with added toppings. There was no more than 6 small pieces of chicken (super dry, and clearly the bagged grilled chicken cubes from the store, fake grill marks and all) and the jalapeños were clearly canned. Through all of this, the service was terrible and it took forever to get anything we asked for. (Straws, silverware, side of marinara, etc.) Overall, we spent almost 90 dollars for pizza that little Caesars wouldn't serve, and bland calamari. (The wine wasn't bad, it's the only thing they don't claim to make in house.) Straight up, not a good time...

We ate here the first time yesterday. The food was delicious not to mention the Nutella bites.!!! Service was top notch, even if our servers thick Italian accent was hard for me to understand. Now that's authentic.!!

Love this restaurant! Menu has tons of amazing options, everyone should be able to find something they'll love! The views of the golf course are very nice. Service is always prompt and food comes out amazing. Highly recommend for date nights and birthdays.

The wood fired pizza at Pizzicata is Amazing! I picked up a Marinara and a Regina Margherita pizza as a to go order. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I was in and out in 10 minutes from order to exit. The pizzas were exceptional. The dough, cheese, and sauce were all high quality and the char on the pies was perfect. I have eaten wood fired pies at all of the top rated restaurants in the Phoenix Metro area and this place ranks among the best I have had by far. If you like Neapolitan pizza you must try Pizzicata.

Save your money--Do not waste your time; service was absolutely horrible, the food came out over an hour after ordering, while watching multiple tables order, eat, and leave before our food even arrived at the table. The server apologized and stated that desert would be on him. When we all ordered desert, the server tried to go back and say he would cover one--seriously?! Our food came out in segments--there were 6 of us at the table. By the time the last plate arrived, the first three people were finished. The food was less than good--the calzone was almost warm, and the fettuccine was overcooked. We didn't dare send it back knowing it took over an hour to get our food. The place was not busy--I counted 10 tables taken, and one was more than 6.

Linguini with clams was gritty clams not cleaned. Chicken Marsela was over cooked sauce had no flavor. Alfredo sauce just heavy cream no flavor. Very disappointed at this price point

We really enjoyed the pizza. We got one of each styles and to be honest we both liked the texture of the traditional pizza the best, however the pinsas were also really good. I can't wait to come back and try the homemade pasta. It was really beautiful sitting outside with the heaters as well.

Everyone I know is excited to have a new Italian/pizza option open up in our area, as not many places ever make it to our neighborhood. The owner and chef actually moved here from Italy in 2018, so that seems to foretell a promising future for the restaurant. The food - on two visits, I tried both types of pizza: the Pinsa Romana Hawaiian, and the Napoletana Margherita. Both were very satisfying. They say the Pinsa Romana is 48% less sugar and 85% less fat than traditional pizza, but don't let that scare you because it tasted great. My husband ordered the Filippo (fried) Calzone which sounds like a greasy, heavy mess. It was actually very light and airy. It was kind of like fry bread and his sausage was delicious. The service: Now for the bad news. The service is abysmal. On my first visit, we sat on the patio. It's nice out there, and they have heaters if it's too cold on these rare AZ December nights. But our server didn't come around much. On my second visit, the server gave my friend and I menus and took my drink order. Then she disappeared. After thirty (!) minutes, we sent another server to fetch her. Still nothing. My friend had to hunt her down, where she claimed she didn't know we were her table. (?) But she'd taken my drink order. After that huge snafu, all we got was a weak apology and a shrug - no other attempt to smooth things over with us. Even though I've found the food items here to be fairly good, if Pizzicata doesn't train their servers to have some better customer service skills and check in on their tables, I'm not sure I want to dine here regularly.

New restaurant in the area, so we thought we'd give it a try. Big open, airy place overlooking a golf course. There is also patio seating. Food was good and service was so-so, they were definitely under staffed.
