Pizza Capo

"Although my wife enjoys pizza, she is not one to generally request it. If it's there, sure, she'll have a slice, but its never high on her list of choice cuisines. After our visit to Pizza Capo on Saturday though, that is likely to change! There was about a 20-minute wait for a table which, again, since we're talking about *pizza*, that's a good sign that great things are to come. Not just anybody can pull off such a patrician presentation of an otherwise plebian provision, but the people behind Pizza Capo apparently know what they're doing. We ended up ordering the Spicy Salami, with the (recommended by our server) addition of some prosciutto, and goat cheese. We were warned against its heat level, but as my wife and I are Capsaicin Champions, it ended up being perfect: deliciously thin, oily, spicy and savory - one of the best pizzas my wife and I have had anywhere, ever! Add to that a Paper Plane (one of my favorite cocktails, and one that is rarely on a menu), a glass of wine, and a prosciutto board (because apparently we hadn't had enough!), and you end up with a meal so fantastic, it has completely changed my wife's opinion of pizza as more than a just a lazy answer to the incessant question of "What's for dinner?"; it can also be one of the finest dining experiences around, when in hands as capable as these! Who's the boss?! Pizza Capo!"

"ALWAYS delicious with friendly service. I love everything about this cute little wood fired pizza place. The decor is fresh, modern and comfortable. I especially love the big copper pizza oven. If you are a person that is always cold ask to sit in the back near the pizza oven. I was pleasantly toasty in a good way. I have tried most of their pizzas. It’s hard to choose because I love them all. This night we were celebrating my daughters promotion. We ordered celebratory drinks. I was super excited to see they had a Christmas cocktail in the menu called Candy Cane Martini. It was delicious! The key to getting pleasantly full at capo is to order appetizers first. The pizzas are slightly bigger than a personal size pizza. So if you’re hungry 2 people would require 2 pizzas or at least an appetizer and maybe share a salad. Also do not miss seasonal specials. I love how creative the chefs are. My party of 4 chose the following: The Nduja-Roasted Carrots Nduja salami-roasted Even Pull Farm carrots, roasted red and seed onion, shallot, parsley Honey whipped fromage blanc and fennel pollen mint. These carrots were packed with flavor and melted in my mouth. We also ordered a salad to share a large Even Pull Farm Winter Green Salad $14.00 Even Pull Farm chicory mix, anchovy vinaigrette, parmigiano, garlic bread crumbs, and parsley. The garlic bread crumbs were Incredible the dressing was lovely and just the perfect amount. For pizza we ordered My favorite is Jabroni Pizza $24.00 Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni, Garlic, Oregano, Provolone, Mozzarella and finished with fresh Basil and Parmigiano. Delicious, juicy with well thought out ingredients and so much flavor. And a Margherita Pizza $20.00 Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Parmigiano. Can’t go wrong with a Margherita! For dessert we shared a Zuppa Inglese (seasonal) spumoni flavored tiramisu. INCREDIBLE! Not a huge dessert but enough for us all to have a couple bites."

"We would love to visit other restaurants when we visit McMinnville, but Capo calls and we must go!! We love this restaurant so much! The service, the food, and then there is the service and the food. See our pics. It never disappoints. We sit at the bar every time and get excellent service. The olives are a must to start out your meal. All the pizzas are excellent and the Brussels sprouts!! So yum!"

"As people who try local pizza everywhere we travel, we're pretty picky. We don't leave reviews unless a place is awesome or terrible. This may top the awesome chart, double! The crust, the creative topping combinations (try squash, pepperoni, arugula & feta, and roasted... Yup! Roasted olives!! Do it! If you're anywhere near McMinniville, Just do it!!"

"Very cute pizza shop in downtown. Slightly pricier than your standard pizza but the ingredients are super fresh. We tried the clam pizza when we went it and it was surprisingly very good. Also got the valley special (which I believe is not always the same). I also thought their cocktails were surprisingly good for a pizza place. Seating is a little close together so go early if you don’t want to be cramped."
