Small and friendly pizza restaurant in Waterloo. I had been recommended this place by a friend so thought I’d give it a try. Staff were attentive and quick to serve food and drinks. Bruschetta was nice but not amazing the unusual addition of anchovies was a bonus but the quality and flavour of the tomatoes was a bit of a let down. The olives were poor low quality. I really think places miss a trick selling rubbish olives as I definitely won’t have them again here. The pizza itself was a fabulous hand drawn wood fired pizza - although we were really disappointed that the Frutti de mare pizza (seafood) was not available so we had to have our second choice again with those rubbish olives!
Wine was nice and reasonably priced. Dessert salted caramel cannoli was ‘bought in’ mini cannoli served with ice cream nice but a bit of cheat. The limoncello spritz was very nice.
Overall pretty good and to be honest probably the best actual pizza in Waterloo. They just need to make a few minor improvements and it would be excellent.
Thanks
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.
Took my son there this afternoon for tea. Lovely welcome from Stefan and lovely pizza. My son couldn't finish his but they boxed it up so we could bring it home. Will be back for more!!! I heartily recommend
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
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!
Went for first time on Father’s Day. Mike was great with us all, offered to cater for my one year old son and looked after us all night, food was boss and had a great atmosphere in there. Defo be back!
Really nice place to eat. I found the pizzas really tasty. Nice atmosphere too.
Have ordered from Il Capitanos twice now. Both times I can say I've had fantastic, tasty fresh pizza. However, both times I have ordered online and arrived on the stated collection time. The first time round I had to wait about 20 minutes with partner and young child in the car. Second time I picked up a couple of pizzas with friends and our pizzas were only going in the stone oven as we were invited to take a seat and wait. They're worth the wait, but they really need to sort out the whole online delivery/collection thing to prevent annoyances.
Excellent pizzas and drinks and very friendly staff I can highly recommend this restaurant
Quality genuine Italian pizza, the best I've had outside of Italy, a disco ball, and quality music playing. Brilliant staff in a fuss free environment. This place is an absolute gem, and never disappoints
What delicious pizzas. Lovely place with friendly staff. Will come again soon.
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!
Went to IL Capatinos for my wife's birthday with family, booked table and this was reserved for us on arrival , the pizzas as always freshly cooked and delicious, allowed to bring own birthday cakes in for dessert, at no cover charge,which was brought to table by staff with roman candle in cake lit,
The staff and customers sang happy birthday, and a great evening was had !!
Would definitely recommend for a great pizza and good wine and beer, excellent service , only give 5 stars on 3 previous occasions, this is well deserved 👏 ☆☆☆☆☆
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
Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff. Small place so book ahead if you can but even if fully booked you can get a takeaway.
Food was amazing up there on the top 5 pizzas I've had however it did feel like other customers who came in received better service than us.
Just popped in for takeaway,the service was excellent and the food was even better can't fault this hidden gem.
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!
