About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
From Umbria to the homes of Carefree, Pizzicata brings our family’s recipes and an enthusiasm rooted in sharing Italiano cuisine with Arizona and the world.
We are proud to be the first pinseria in Arizona.

What is Pinsa?
Long before the days of pizza, Pinsa was introduced and crafted by the Romans using wheat, soy and rice flours as the main ingredients in the dough. The resulting Pinsa contained less gluten, less carbs and less fat while maintaining a crispy yet light crust when baked therefore making it more digestible yet still delizioso.

    We had not been to Pizzicata in over a year and a good chance we will not be back. All four of us felt bad for the server, she was trying very hard, but the kitchen/management did not support her. We ordered (2) two Caprese Salads for an appetizer along with drinks and the salads were tasteless. Our main Pasta meals arrived approximately (1) one hour later. Meals were cold and average. For the price I expected more. This is not a quality Italian restaurant. Further, this was a special night for our family and was very disappointing. Credit to the server, but she could not fix a poorly run kitchen.

    Surprising light pizza crust. I grew up in CT so I’m used to eating great pizza … and this pizza is also great. Toppings are delicious … we had the Amatriciana and Fig pizzas. One of the group had an entree, and raved about it. Outdoor dining oversees a courtyard. Definitely worth a visit.
