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.

    We arrived early for a 3:30 late lunch/Happy Hour dinner and sat indoors at the bar rather than outdoors. Our server was very friendly and welcoming and we were surprised with the speed at which our food was prepared, despite our arrival “between” normal hours! Fun flavors, creative menu options, filling food. Don’t miss trying the Ofrenda margarita.

    Hidden gem … we dined on the patio. It was a beautiful day so no heat lamps or blankets were needed but they were well equipped and offered if needed. Great drink, appetizer and meal offerings. Service was excellent.

    A great place to come and get some premium cocktails and spirits. I recommend a reservation for groups of 4 or more or during high traffic hours, but its worth it!

    As with our past dining experiences at Virtu Honest Craft, everything was perfect. The Asparagi was a beautiful plate, perfectly prepared and with outstanding combination of ingredients. This is definitely a go-to option on forthcoming visits. Our entree was the Bistecca Tagliata for two. A 40oz tomahawk ribeye with an arugula salad. Absolutely delicious. We chose a Sangiovese wine to accompany our food choices. The service was impeccable. Even though this restaurant is nearly an hour away from our home, it is well worth the drive, and we plan to return soon.
