Best pizza in town. 10 out of 10 for sure. We got the Palermo and it was awesome. The portions are great for the price too. They offer bottled soda and water to drink and have gelato for dessert. The pizza Cookes and comes out super fast so it’s hot and fresh.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I heard there’s a place in downtown Birmingham owned by the same people and I haven’t been there yet. I heard this is the suburban version. Considering that I lived in New York and visited Italy several times, I’m a pretty good judge of pizza. And this place pretty much nails it. Counter service is slow, as they seem to be more interested in goofing off than handling customers when they’re ready to order. My wife was about 30 seconds away from walking out. But I get it - I was 13 once too. Once you get past the ordering snafu the food comes out pretty quick and usually with a smile. And honestly this is some of the best pizza I’ve had since I’ve been here in the deep south. Their pepperoni is on point! Love that they have a fixing station with extra sauce if you want it along with pepper, oregano, salt and pepper. There’s even a hot oil option which I’ve never seen before that is very cool. And you never have to ask for a to-go box (trust me, with pizza this good you definitely want to take it with you) because they’re in the front and back of the restaurant on a do it yourself basis. Now let’s talk about the atmosphere. It’s kinda like you’re sitting in some garage with a bunch of picnic tables. I mean, it’s clean and all, but dang. For a place with pizza this good I thought that was quite a disappointment. They’ve got Ferrari race nonsense hung all over the place and even a few Vespas in the front of the store, which I’m sure was quite an investment, but they couldn’t be bothered to set up booths or something that would make it feel a little more like a restaurant. So I guess it’s time for a staff meeting, boys. Let’s tighten up that service, and maybe add a few walls, some sheet rock, and some hanging light fixtures for that true Italian feel. Real Italians don’t eat in garages.

This place is SO good. The ingredients are high quality and fresh! There's not much sitting room and if you come during the dinner hour on Friday, you're sharing a table with strangers or standing. We shared and talked with a great couple the whole time. Capella's is a staple for our Bham visits now!
