Il Capitano's in Sefton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I have said before Il Capitano’s is the best pizza in Mersyside, and also the north west, but honestly guys tonight was the most amazing pizza of my life!!! The best pizza in the UK!! Actually I want to change that to the best pizza in Europe. I have eaten Neapolitan pizza in Rome, Pisa, Milan and Venice but seriously you guys win hands down. Thank you for amazing service and food once again!!

Booked a table for 4 (one of party is a wheelchair user) accessibility is good unfortunately the toilet was not. Greeted at the door by a lovely waitress who showed us to our table and took our drinks order. Good choice of Antipasto, homemade fresh pasta and wood fired pizza using all fresh ingredients. We opted for four different pastas and 1 pizza between us to share, everything was hot and delicious. Extra shout out to the waitress who served us for her efficient and friendly service. Will definitely be returning for more 10/10 😋

We visited on a wet Thursday evening, travelling from West Derby by bus and train ( taxi back). It was well worth the effort- friendly welcome on arrival and the heat from the pizza oven soon warmed us up. Lovely large dry white wine for me and a red for my wife. We shared a truffle pizzette which was very tasty and then had nduja pasta and a frutti de mare pasta - again both very tasty. Big thank you to chef F and the team for looking after us . We hope to return soon as the weather improves.

Sorry to say, the pizzas we all ordered where very bland. The best part of the meal was the starter of Antipasti. Yes it's a thin base, but also soggy, we all swapped pizza's and could not define the tastes. So disappointed. But we did appreciate the waitress and tipped her well.

Superb food. Superb staff. Friendly atmosphere and always made to feel welcome. Highly recommend for family, friends or a date night.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Friendly owners and yummy pizza. Must try the Lemocello cheesecake next time 😃⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had the most amazing meal. Shared the veg platter and garlic bread, then pizzas for main. Dough so fresh and soft and everything delicious. We'll be back !!

Whilst previous visits to IL Capitanos were good, and they had a great product they have recently changed their gluten free bases, which are considerably smaller than the normal bases, however you still have to pay more for a gluten free pizza. Photos show previous sided gluten free pizza in silver foil tray next to a normal pizza, compared with the new gluten free pizza.

Waited 45 minutes, pizzas were burnt and soggy at the same time, free garlic bread but it was dripping in oil and burnt so we didn't even eat it. But of a shame really as I've heard good things.

Amazing food best pizza I've ever had, garlic bread was amazing aswell. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Couldn't reccomend more will definitely be back:)

Honestly so good. Can't recommend the Garlic Bread enough and the pizza is so good. Small little restaurant with a dead nice vibe.

Absolutely stunning pizza and amazing staff, we called and asked for a delivery which they wouldn't usually do as we didn't live with the delivery area but made an exception and I'm so glad they did! Best pizza we've eaten and will be ordering again thank you to the whole team at El Capitanos keep up the good work 🤙🏼

Tables inside and on the pavement of this unpretentious pizzeria. Excellent pizza - tasty , fresh and very good value for money. Highly recommended and we will be back

It was the first time we visited Il Capitano's and it won't be the last either. The decor was a complete surprise to me for a pizza restaurant, very cool indeed. The music was fantastic and the staff, attentive. Great to see pizzas being cooked in a proper pizza oven fired with wood. The result was a brilliant Neapolitan Pizza, cooked to perfection. Next time we feel like a pizza, it's a no-brainer, we will be back again. Keep up the good work guys.

Went early Saturday evening for a family gathering (5 adults, 1 child, 1 baby) really easy and friendly to book. We’d heard great things about the food already (which was outstanding) but was really impressed with the service and drinks. Everyone had a great time and we’re definitely coming back!

Met up with friend for a long due catch up, everything great. Service great. Food great. Atmosphere great. Price great. Little hidden gem best pizza your gonna get compares to the greats of Rome. Must try!

I am a regular customer to the restaurant since it opened. It serves the best Pizza in Liverpool! The staff are 100% professional & friendly who work very hard every single day. If you need somewhere to get together with family or friends for a nice meal & drinks this is the best place to go! bravo e grazie mille! IL Capitanos!

Tastiest pizza in liverpool. My favourite place to go and fabulous for the family. Such a great atmosphere!

Absolutely stunning experience. Such lovely atmosphere, and brilliant service. The pizza’s are delicious, would recommend Wilson’s Pear it was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I have been here a few times since it opened and it genuinely serves the best pizza I have ever had. Service is fast and friendly. Cannot fault.

We have had a couple of takeaways from here and been really impressed so we decided to go. It was great - lovely family atmosphere and great food. We sat outside which was lovely. The staff were a bit worried as their pizza dough was...

Thank you Jay and staff for another fabulous night .Forgotten how good the pizzas taste. Wine and food excellent. Friendly staff ,good servive .Cannot ask for more

Best pizza outside of Italy. Even 95% of Italian restaurants don’t show this level of crafmanship. Small and warming venue, with excellent service.

We moved to Waterloo a few months ago and have eaten in Il Capitano’s a number of times since then. The service is good, as is the wine - but the pizzas are really something special! Only Little Furnace in South Liverpool comes close (both...

Honestly the best pizza I have eaten. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable of the ingredients. So lucky to have this place in the area.

Mates 40th, struggling to get anywhere to eat. Called in hope if anything else, last 6 dough balls, 6 of us..was meant to be.. we virtually licked the plates clean!! and don't get me started on the canolli's... great night. Boss staff. Superb vibe. Highly...

The best pizza in Liverpool! Lovely staff! Great food! Always amazing. Great to takeaway and can’t wait to visit the restaurant when lockdown is over!

Along with our regular take away pizzas and garlic bread, we tried the starter package tonight, which is a burrata & prosciutto crudo salad, a bottle of red or white wine and freshly baked bread. The pizzas and garlic bread are always amazing but the...

This a wonderful restaurant that has kept going during a very difficult year for all of us. They make the best Pizza I have ever tasted. The staff make you feel so welcome the minute you walk through the door , they work so hard,...

This is by far the best vegan pizza I have ever tried, and I've tried a lot! The dough was light, crisp and yet chewy, the marinara sauce was delicious and the vegan cheese was out of this world. Unlike anything I've ever had, it...

All through lockdown I have ordered takeaway The guys are friendly And the pizzas delicious Both son and daughter rave about them when they’re home Pizza doesn’t get much better

OK. Where to start? Been here several times and only just now getting round to writing a review. To put it simply, this is the best pizza you'll have. Somehow, the wood fired oven and the special dough combines to create a simuteneouly chewy, crispy...

First visit tonight after recommendation from my sister. What a lovely little find! Service was fabulous, so friendly you just want to visit again. Pizza delicious and wine really decent quality. Great evening, look forward to returning after lockdown number two! Wishing Jay and all...

Simply Delicious! Proper Neapolitan style. We ordered few pizza takeaway on Sunday night for our usual "family dinner" at home. Kids loved. Pizza was very tasty! Grazie, tutto bellissimo!

Thank you Jay and staff for a great night. Bruchetta to start .Pizzas excellent. Good wine .Friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to next visit xx

Had a takeout last night from here and it was delicious. The pizza and garlic bread was so tasty! Would definitely recommend, for your next pizza night 🍕🍕

Once you have tasted one of their delicious pizzas you are hooked. Excellent takeaway service that is ran by an professional, organised and friendly team that work very hard. Grazie mille!

The fluffy, crispy wood charred crust was a work of art! I only really eat seafood pizza and this was pure heaven. Keep doing what you are doing guys, your pizzas are truly amazing.

Best pizzas in Merseyside, no question. Absolutely blessed to have this place on our doorstep. Reasonable price too, top marks!

Ordered over the phone for collection. 3 pizzas. Food was absolutely incredible. Service was fantastic. Don't have a bad thing to say about the place. Ate in a few weeks ago too and it was fantastic then too. Will continue to go!

I used this retaurant for the first time this week. I ordered a Takeaway of Garlic Breads & 3 Pizzas & dessert.The staff were lovely, very polite & most helpful though slighly delayed asthey were busy they were most apologetic for me having to wait....

Visited here last Thursday, can highly recommend the carnivora pizza, especially if you like a bit of a kick. Quite a relaxed atmosphere and friendly waitress Kirsten was on hand to look after us.

Perfect for Pizza! Really cozy little spot with an amazing pizza oven and wonderful service. So glad we stumbled across it!

Visited with my wife last Saturday for the second time. Food was great, service was good. We will be back very regularly!

This place is amazing.....the pizza is fantastic...went with friends and could find no fault with starter,pizza or dessert. Prices are great for the quality of the food. Recommend 110%. Cannot wait to go back

We managed to get a late booking here on saturday, great little place good atmosphere and music, pizza was fab and the garlic bread was something else, they also do my fave dessert affogato yummy we will definitely be back

Seen someone share a post on Facebook saying that it was the nicest pizza they’d had in this country and so I thought i’ve got to try it. I’m always walking past anyway and it looks a really nice place, so decided to get a...

Manager kindly accommodated my family on a busy Saturday night and this was the first time we'd dined there. Restaurant has a good selection of vegan dishes, something to be commended. Open kitchen adds to the authenticity. Mains and desserts were impressive. A good venue...

Well what can I say, this is honestly THE BEST pizza I have ever actually eaten. I couldn’t stop saying it! Please please get yourself down to Il Capitanos in Waterloo for what I can promise will be the best pizza you’ve ever had! Can’t...

Really lovely place to eat with friends, amazing atmosphere with the usage of big open windows and lovely genuine staff !

I’m not gonna lie, pizza falls way down the pecking order in my eat out hierarchy but the Mrs has been hounding me to try this place for a while. The biggest compliment I can give is before I left I’d booked a table for...

We've wanted to try this place for ages but then lockdown happened so... Few months later we finally got to try it and honestly just the nicest pizzas we've ever had. From a traditional margarita to a more out there Wilsons pear... All just gorgeous....

Great pizza, lovely waitresses. We were very well received, perfect service, fast, and excellent quality food. Congratulations

1st dine-in at il Capitanos Post-Lockdown. Still superb. Great pizza. Fantastic service, super chilled laid back service. These guys can’t do enough for you. Cheers Jay, and Team. Love the cappuccino as well.

Since Jay opened his pizza place its officially become my favourite place to eat at. During lockdown Jay and his staff were brill at keeping the pizzas going (thankfully!) and last night we went when Jay reopenedhis restaurant. It was so safe with the 'new...

Family of four got pizzas delivered today, what can I say, some of the best best pizza we've had. Great friendly service too!

Since opening , I haven’t stepped near a dominos , pizza shop because there is no comparison to Il Capitainos , the best part is when I’ve demolished the whole pizza I don’t feel stodgy or sick because it’s full of rubbish , this is...

We’ve ordered several times over the lockdown. It’s been our treat as a family. The pizzas are unbelievably good. I’ve tried nearly the whole menu and I can recommend each one. The carbonara pizza is especially good. It’s so reasonably priced for what you get....

Amazing pizza tonight. We visited Florence last year and this was the closest we have ever had. One of the kids said it was like taking a piece of heaven..amazing pizza and tirmasu.

Have eaten once at the restaurant before this awful lockdown - squeezed us in though unbelievably busy. Bellisimo. Had a takeaway during lockdown - Napoletana (with anchovies and capers) and Calabrese (Italian sausage) - superb. I have just ordered 'white pizzas' for tomorrow night -...

This restaurant serves the best in pizza Liverpool. I have am Frequent customer to this restaurant and it is a 10 out of 10 every time. It was a takeaway collection but the team work so hard to keep going during this difficult and strange...

I have previously done a review of Il Capitano's, when, twice, we ate there. Everything really good and an enjoyable experience. However, we ordered 2 pizzas, to be delivered, giving them 24hrs notice. Half an hour after the due delivery time, we rang them ..........

My new best place in Crosby Amazing pizza, amazing wine, lovely atmosphere & staff are so nice & friendly. You will not be disappointed, would recommend booking thou, as a lot of people couldn’t get in

Went with my girlfriend last weekend and was blown away with how good the food was. The staff were so helpful and even managed to make a late change to my reservation. The atmosphere was good and not too quiet. The pizza was to die...

Table of 4 adults and 4 kids and we couldn't have been happier. Gorgeous atmosphere great service and the food was just what we needed. Fresh, homemade and filled with passion. Will be returning for sure Thank you

We called last minute and they managed to squeeze us in on a busy saturday night. I had the calabrese which was amazing and my boyfriend who follows a plant based diet had a marinara slightly adjusted to his needs. Both were gorgeous washed down...

Hands down the best pizza I’ve had. I’ve been to Naples & can attest to the quality of Il Captianos authentic Italian style. Staff were superb & enthusiastic - nothing was too much trouble for them and the bill was very reasonable! Drinks on offer...

Heard alot about this place so thought It was time to visit along with Family and friends . The place itself is 2mns drive from South road with no problem with Parking in surrounding areas. Greeted at the door and escorted to our seats and...

Literally the best pizza ever though. Caters well for us vegans. Jay is the man, the best pizza owner ever. Been to Naples myself as well so I know my stuff. Get here for the best pizza of all time. Ciao

Everything is perfect about this place. The staff are extremely knowledgeable & passionate about their craft and it translates in to the pizza! Absolutely great pizza, brilliant selection of drinks too (bonus points for the Peroni red!) & great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back...

A proper pizza restaurant in that, largely, pizza is the only thing on the menu. Even though the choice is limited there is definitely something for everyone and the quality is absolutely top drawer. What looks like an authentic wood fired pizza oven turning out...

Food was really good full of flavour nice relaxed atmosphere and really friendly staff i will be back

Booked in for a group of 10 11/12 year old girls. The staff were amazingly accommodating and patient (and so were the fellow diners). The pizzas are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to go back as just a family.

The best pizza in the area of Crosby and Waterloo. Fresh ingredients and the dough not soggy or gummy just perfect. The only advice I’d give is that the crust is a bit larger than the pizza from Napoli. Not tall but larger. I’m Italian...

Delicious, freshly cooked pizza, accompanied by a beautiful wine list and followed by awesome desserts. A mix of classic recipes and special pizzas, the goats cheese was beautiful. Followed by salted caramel cannoli - heaven! The restaurant was lovely, clean and fresh with some lovely...

We came in for an early dinner on Thursday and weren’t disappointed. They do one thing and do it very very well. Both our pizzas were excellent as were the deserts. The wine selection is great too. Will definitely be back again soon

Visited here on a Friday evening. The pizzas were absolutely delicious, lots of choice too. It was busy when we visited but the service was still fantastic. Highly recommended, we will be visiting again.

Following several recommendations from family and friends, we visited the restaurant for the first time.

Lovely food, good service and prices. Would definitely go again! Menu has a good few pizzas to chose from aswell as specials

A little gem - we have been wanting to eat here since it opened and it didn't disappoint! Staff were very friendly and welcoming and brought us a high chair straight away. Moretti on draught tasted as good as it does in Rome and the...

Excellent pizza. Highly recommend. So lucky to have this restaurant within walking distance in Waterloo

Was attracted here by a Fruitti de Mare special. We were a large group and we loved the way they automatically brought the kids' pizzas first! Fabulous, friendly service, and the pizzas are to die for. Seriously not had a pizza this good outside of...

What a gem, this is Pizza the way it should be. We got a Margherita for under £7, the white pizza which was our favourite and Tiramisu. The bill was £25 with 2 drinks. will Definitely be back!
