| - il Capo (The Boss) finally does what the entire Valley Of The Sun has failed to do for the past 12 years I've lived here....make a kick-ass pizza! The owner is from New York and he knows NY pie top to bottom. Crust is perfect, the blend of cheeses are right on the money, no skimping on poor quality pepperoni, and best of all the sauce is the without equal. When you bite into a slice you don't taste crust, sauce, cheese and toppings, you taste a whole, perfectly put together pizza!
We ordered the 18" NY pie and between my friend and I we took the whole thing down. Been back 3 times in the past 2 weeks already. Mary Ann is our afternoon/lunch server and she makes us feel like veteran patrons of the place.
There won't be any shaving off stars for the environment because it is very pleasant. Clean, quiet and laid out nicely so as not to feel too crowded or cramped. Personally I'd change the decor up to a nice 70's pizza parlor style with wood paneling, red plastic pizza cups, pinball machines and carpeting. Maybe even a raised area where you could put a band on Friday and Saturday nights. If not then I'd settle for a jukebox, but the music could only go up to 1981...'83 tops.
To me il Capo should rename themselves The Boss because that's what they are. I'll be there every week until I can't eat anymore or if for some reason they decide to try to keep up with the ridiculous trends of specialty pizza's with dumb sauces like fire roasted tomatoes or a "white" sauce.
Long live il Capo!
