I had heard so many good things about this place...but I should have realized they did not come from folks who grew up in the NY/NJ area...LOL Unfortunately, Capri is simply one of a thousand Florida pizza places that claims to make real New York Pizza but doesn't really have a clue. The crust was doughy or leathery and the sauce was bland and cheap. The cheese was close to adequate, but overall this was extremely disappointing because I had friends who raved to me abou this place. If you grew up in Florida and order takeout from Papa John's, Domino's, etc...then this place will be a nice treat for you. If you grew up with real Pizza, then you need to look elsewhere as there actually are a few legit places in the Tampa Bay region.

Pizza sounded like a good idea so we decided to stop in and pick up a pizza to go. We ordered the Capri pizza which was kind of like a pizza with the works but with a little less stuff. Stopping here and ordering the Capri turned out to both be good ideas. This seems to be a mom and pop business and the people working there were all pleasant. The place also seemed clean and most importantly the pizza was great! I recommend this local pizza place. In fact, my wife is picking up pizza from Capri's as I yelp this review :-)

Sobif ever in Lutz, FL, and you are looking for great food at a decent price then this place is for you. It really is family owned as the daughter was serving me while her dad and son works the line. Authentic hand tossed pizza with a nice flavor on their garlic rolls which are really soft. Definatly worth eating at and good for kids - after all, a lot of people like Pizza!

First off, I must confess. I am a self-proclaimed PIZZA SNOB. I am more than simply a fan of NY-style pizza, because it's not just the flat, thin crust that makes a pizza a NY-style pizza. It's a lifestyle and the NY attitude that you can taste in every bite. A true NY-style pizza should be as rich and vibrant as the city that shares its name. Every bite should have you exclaiming, "FUHGEADDABOUTIT!" That is how great a NY-style pizza should be. It should have you channeling quotes of all the best mobster movies. "I amuse you?" Sadly, this pizza didn't even come close. It totally missed the mark. The crust was thin in a sad NY-style attempt, but it was dense and heavy. The sauce had no flavor and tasted as if it came straight from a can. The cheese was o.k. I really wanted to like this place because it was so close to home and the service was great. Our smiley young server was as cute a button, but the pizza just didn't make the grade for me. We also ordered a Mediterranean salad with our meal and sadly that gets a "Meh. I've experienced better", too. If you're not a pizza snob, then you may like it. If Papa Johns or Dominos is your thing, then this may be a special treat for you. "A wise guy's always right even when he's wrong, he's right."

Really good pizza, even better pasta. That's saying something considering I like Chicago-style pizza better. My husband and have been ordering out from Capri's for years. Never had a problem, and it's always ready for us to pick up on time as promised!

Stop in for fresh, pizza and Italian dishes. The bruschetta is very filling made on thick Italian bread instead of toast which makes for a nice twist. The garlic rolls are yummy with butter and fresh garlic. It can get busy after local ball games, but is generally a nice place to meet friends or have a family dinner without a wait. Worth the stop!

This place has a vibrant carry out business. 2 and 3 pizza's per person were flying out the door.There were as many there for carry out as those eating in. The food on a scale of 1-10, in my opinion, was a solid 7. The prices are good for what you get. Service (on a Friday about 7 p.m.) was mediocre. No silverware provided with our meal and the pizza came 5 minutes before the veal parm. My big complaint is the automatic adding of 18% gratuity to the bill. I only accept that at fine restaurants and will not hesitate to have them remove all or part of it if the service is not satisfactory. Not that I wouldn't have tipped the young lady at least 18% but I hate not to have the choice. I wonder what they do on carry out? Parking, if busy, on a weekend night could be an issue. The veal with garlic knots was good and the large pizza was good and truly a "large". I always say support the local business that you want to be a part of your community and I would support Capri Pizza but as a carryout patron, assuming no automatic tip charge, going forward

The food was very good. They serve the best Veal Parmigiana in Tampa Bay at a very reasonable price. The veal was very tender and it was served with pasta with marinara sauce. It also included garlic knots that were very fresh and soft and full of garlic. I plan to come back to this place and try other entrees. The restaurant is owned by the Verilo Family and they have been at this location 11 years. The owner's name is Antonio and he is also the chef. Should you ever come here mention my name DAN THE CAB MAN.

Favorite pizza place in Tampa. Consistently good pizza, wings, subs, and salad. I'm never disappointed when I order Capri. The owners are extremely friendly and the service is great. Great place to order take out because it seems to always be ready for pickup within 20 minutes. I highly recommend trying Capri.

The Capri antipasto salad is good. However, the pizza leaves much to be desired. The pizza dough/crust is leathery. I'll probably never order from here again.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
