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.

By far one of my favorite places I’ve discovered and we just keep coming back. Top tier ambiance, service and food. Everyone is amazing the moment you step in the door and genuinely happy to be there. They also do live music outside! The views are phenomenal. The food is to die for. Last night we had the pleasure of meeting Judy one of the founders and owners. Once we got in the car after a wonderful night out, my husband goes that is easily my favorite place here. It truly is a hidden gem and neighborhood steakhouse vibes could not be more accurate of a statement. It was a Thursday night and very well attended, make a reservation!

Prompt and friendly service. Dined outside and they have a great patio that is quiet and comfortable. Told our server we were in a bit of a hurry and he took our order and had it out in 20 minutes. We shared a bruschetta board and it was delightful. We will be back without hesitation.
