Best Pizza Restaurants in Scottsdale (2026)

Scottsdale's pizza scene runs wider than Old Town's resort corridor suggests. From Neapolitan certification to Chicago deep-dish to wood-fired neighborhood regulars, the Insider Scores here reflect consistency across thousands of visits, not marketing. Nine rooms, nine honest reads.

1 Craft 64 - Scottsdale Tripadvisor

Craft 64 - Scottsdale

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$
7.1

Craft 64 pairs wood-fired Margherita pizza with a rotating craft beer selection that draws a loyal Scottsdale crowd. The honey-finished pies come out of the oven with consistent crust, and weeknight waits are generally manageable. The Craft 64 Burger and Truffle Mac and Cheese round out a menu built for casual, unhurried dinner. The room is lively without tipping into loud, and service runs efficiently even on busier nights.

2 Pomo - Scottsdale Yelp

Pomo - Scottsdale

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$$ · № 28 on the List
6.6

Pomo holds certification from Naples's governing pizza authority, and the Margherita is the proof: thin, properly charred, and built on imported ingredients. The kitchen also runs Osso Buco and house-made Gnocchi for guests who want a full Italian program beyond pizza. The room reads as a date-night destination, with enough polish for a celebration without tipping into stuffy. Hotel concierges in Scottsdale recommend it consistently, and the repeat-visit rate backs that up.

Neapolitan credentials in Old Town Scottsdale

Margherita Pizza

The standard-bearer on the menu, carrying the room's Neapolitan certification from Naples and the clearest measure of what the kitchen does at its core.

Osso Buco

A braised veal shank that signals the room's ambition beyond pizza, anchoring the non-pizza side of the menu for diners who come back for something broader.

House-made Gnocchi

The house-made gnocchi is the pasta order for repeat visitors who have worked past the pies and want to see how the kitchen handles the rest of the Italian program.

Pomo holds a certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the Naples-based body that sets the international standard for true Neapolitan pizza, and the distinction shows on the plate. The Margherita arrives as the tradition demands: San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, a char-spotted cornicione with that characteristic leopard pattern. It is the right test of any Neapolitan room, and this one holds up across multiple pies, including more composed variations that stay within the Campanian idiom rather than drifting toward the Americanized version that dominates most of the Valley's pizza options. The kitchen does not limit itself to pizza.

The osso buco reads as a proper Milanese preparation, slow-braised to the point where the meat releases cleanly from the bone, and the house-made gnocchi carries the kind of weight and texture that only comes from scratch production rather than a commercial supply. Together the three signatures suggest a kitchen with range, not a room that built an identity on one dish and left the menu to coast. The room positions itself as a date-night and special-occasion destination in Old Town Scottsdale, and the price reflects that. For the tourist corridor that Old Town represents, this is an unusual thing: a restaurant with a verifiable Italian technical credential and a kitchen that appears to take it seriously.

Visitors steered here by hotel staff tend to leave with the same assessment a regular would give, which is the better indicator of consistency. At upscale Scottsdale pricing, Pomo is asking for the comparison against the resort-patio circuit, and on the evidence of its food, it earns the conversation.

Insider tip

The Margherita is the calibration dish; order it first to gauge the cornicione and the tomato balance before moving to the more built-out pies. The osso buco makes a case for treating this as a full Italian dinner rather than a pizza-only stop.

3 LAMP Pizzeria Yelp

LAMP Pizzeria

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$
6.8

LAMP Pizzeria runs a wood-fired oven and builds its reputation on the Prosciutto di Parma Pizza and a Burrata Antipasti that holds up as a standalone reason to visit. The crust on the better-reviewed visits reads as crispy at the edge and chewy through the center. Pickup orders move fast enough that calling ahead is worth the effort, especially on weekends. A lower price point makes it accessible for both date nights and family dinners.

4 Basil & Garlic Bistro Yelp

Basil & Garlic Bistro

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$
6.5

Basil & Garlic Bistro operates BYOB with a modest per-bottle corkage policy, which changes the math on an already affordable Italian menu. The Chicken Parmigiana draws strong praise, and large portions are a consistent note across the record. Fried artichoke and pasta aglio olio also perform well. Service is described as friendly and efficient by regulars. The room is unassuming, but the kitchen executes Italian-American classics at a standard that keeps the tables filled.

5 Pubblico Italian Eatery Yelp

Pubblico Italian Eatery

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$
6.0

Pubblico's strongest suit is accommodation: the kitchen handles food allergies and dietary sensitivities with enough care that it has built a reliable following among guests who find that difficult elsewhere in Scottsdale. The short rib lasagna is an ambitious menu swing. Consistency is less uniform than some of its neighbors, with a few pasta preparations drawing criticism for dry execution and overseasoning. Worth knowing going in, but the allergy-accommodation track record is genuinely useful.

6 Ciao Grazie Yelp

Ciao Grazie

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$
5.4

Ciao Grazie runs a daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m., and the pricing draws an early-evening crowd that treats it as a neighborhood ritual rather than a deal. The Seafood Linguine and Chicken Parmigiana anchor a straightforward Italian menu, and service is described across the record as attentive without being intrusive. Parking is easy, which matters in a sprawling Scottsdale strip. Repeat visits are a clear pattern here, a room that functions well as a reliable local option.

7 Campo Italian Bistro & Bar Yelp

Campo Italian Bistro & Bar

Pizza · Scottsdale · $$
4.7

Campo Italian Bistro leads with its appetizer program, where the whipped feta with focaccia and the meatballs have drawn the most consistent praise. Happy hour is a genuine draw, running before the dinner rush and covering both drinks and starters. The Margherita and Chicken Parmigiana are the pizza and entrée anchors. The room has its inconsistent nights, particularly on high-traffic occasions, but the happy-hour value proposition is real.

8 Giovanna’s Pizza Yelp

Giovanna’s Pizza

Pizza · Scottsdale
6.1

Giovanna's sits in a Scottsdale strip mall and loads its pies with ingredients at a scale that gets noticed: the Balkan Beauty, a Mediterranean-style build, draws specific praise for depth and generosity. The Pepperoni and Sausage Combo and the Mediterranean Veggie Pizza are the other reliable orders. Wings with buffalo sauce are a secondary reason to visit. The build-out is no-frills, but the kitchen's standard on ingredient quality is where the room makes its case.

9 Rosati's Pizza Yelp

Rosati's Pizza

Pizza · Scottsdale
5.3

Rosati's is a Chicago import doing two things very well in North Scottsdale: Chicago-style thin crust and an Italian Beef Sandwich that regulars treat as the point of the visit. The thin crust gets specific praise for consistency across orders, which is the metric that matters for a takeout-and-delivery room. The dining space is limited, so large family gatherings are a tighter fit. For Chicago-style pizza and a Beef sandwich, the track record here is the strongest in this part of the Valley.
