Capri Pizza & Pasta

Great customer service and pizza! I work at a school and had ordered pizza for the kids– I had ordered the 18 inch but ended up with 16 inches — and my students were coming into class in 10 minutes! I called and explained the situation and they brought me extra pizza within 10 minutes at the expense! We often order from them and they have always been excellent. I love the sweeter sauce on their pizza as well!

This is a good pizza place by the slice. It’s like a better version of mall-​pizza like Sbarros. The pepperoni is probably your safest bet, I agree with some of the others, the sausage is a slightly different taste/​texture than what you’d expect. But still go here first before wasting your money across the street at Dominos. Still good pizza, but being in Chicago it’s hard to give it 5 stars, we just have so much good pizza around!

Decent slice. Stick with the pepperoni though, the sausage is meh.
Crust is nice and thick.
All in all not bad on the run.

This place is very good. I have not delivered from them however their pizza is phenomenal. The crust is probably the best part about their pizza and they’re daily priced too. Their French fries are awesome to say the least.

I have been a customer of this restaurant since they were The Pizza Warehouse. It’s not the best pizza I have ever had, but it would do in a pinch of Friday night. Lately the quality has dropped and the prices have gone up. I will be reading Unilocalers reviews for a new pizza place, or better yet, making it at home. It’s just pizza, $ 35 bucks, really?

You have got to be kidding me?!? I ordered a small gluten free pizza with ½ sausage, ½ pepperoni, olives and onions plus a «regular» dough medium with ½ sausage, ½ pepperoni, olives, onions and tomatoes and they frickin; wanted to charge me $ 40. I cancelled the whole order and went with Papa John’s instead. Way way way overpriced. I would never spend a dime at their place.

My Boss decided to treat a few of us to Pizza on a recent night at work, and he picked Capri as the place. He ordered two large thin crust cheese pizzas.
Pizza is my thing. I use a pretty standard template for judging all pizzas. The 3 main elements: (in order of importance to me) Sauce, Cheese, and Crust. There are other factors, but how these blend together are very important to me.
I had Capri when it was known as Taylor Street. I can’t really speak of any of the other dishes at the old or new restaurant, but they offer typical mom and pop type dishes: Burgers, Fries, hot dogs, beefs, sausages, pastas, and pizzas.
Full disclaimer: I’m a stuffed guy first and foremost, followed by Pan, followed by deep dish, followed by double dough, followed by regular crust, followed by thin crust. I am not a fan of the cracker thin crust. I like a bit of chew to my pizza.
Capri’s thin crust cheese is very ‘vanilla’ in my opinion. First off, there was a serious lack of sauce on the pizza.
A quick note: it was sliced in squares, like most typical Chicago area thin crust joints do. I prefer Triangle cut.
Back to the task at hand! The only slices that had an measurable amount of sauce were the ones towards the edge of the pizza. I love the interior of thin crust pizzas, but for this one, the amount of sauce was almost laughable. I removed some cheese from one of the interior squares, and there was no measurable sauce on the square. Very disappointing.
The crust towards the middle was chewy, as was most of the pizza, sans the edges. This is how I would expect a thin crust cheese to be cooked. It wasn’t chewy to the point of being undercooked, or crunchy to the point of being burnt.
As for the cheese, there was no real distinct taste either way. It definitely featured mozzarella, and it was minimal seasoned. It reminded me of a Rosati’s pizza without the oregano (not even sure they was any type of seasoning on this pizza).
All in all, Capri charged 17.95 per pizza. I think that’s a bit high, but it turned out to be around 40 dollars including plates, utensils (which I didn’t use), and a 6 pack of coke. I didn’t pay, which was a bonus. I ended up having around 12 – 15 pieces, and I was not satisfied at all. Probably why I’m a Stuffed fan, because that is filling to me!
I’m not going to go out of my way to order Capri. I see that they offer Deep Dish, Pan, and Stuffed, but the sauce, or what I had the chance to sample, didn’t really wow me. I’d put them ahead (taste wise) of your Pizza Huts, Papa Johns, and Dominos, but for value, I’d put them on par with the restaurants mentioned. Just an Okay for me.

Second time my family and I have ordered from Capri. Pizza is not as greasy as some restaurants. Deliver was on time with the order and driver was polite.
Capri has replaced one of our other favorite pizza restaurant. And we will continue to order from Capri.

Pizza is great. Just moved to wheaton and glad we found it. Similar to old town in Lombard which we love.

Sorry Capri, I have to bring it down a star. I’ve enjoyed everything from here until recently, when we tried the Italian beef and sausage combo. It was so flavorless, I might as well have cooked it myself (yes, I am insulting my cooking). I get that this is not «their thing,» but don’t do it if you’re not going to do it well.
Still like them though, so read my previous review.

Very tasty pizza slices with a crust that has just the right amount of thickness to hold the plentiful ingredients. Too bad they don’t deliver to Downers Grove.

The special today was a slice of sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom pizza with a can of soda for $ 4.55. Tasty. Take it to go because there isn’t very much space to sit inside and they get busy during the lunch rush.

The owner contacted me with a genuine apology for what had happened regarding getting sick from the gluten free pizza I ordered from his establishment. He listed off an impressive checklist the staff is required to complete in order to guard against cross contamination. it honestly blew my mind how thorough he was in his instructions. Who knows, maybe some freak accident happened or someone just wasn’t paying attention to his rules in either case it wasn’t the owners fault so I’m retracting my previous review. I’m very impressed with the owner and will more than likely try their gluten free pizza again (because it was actually very good) once my stomach lining heals in a few months.

I tried the slice to go and though it’s a good deal for $ 3.25 for a big piece, I didn’t love it. It was extra greasy on top and then the cheese had a unique flavor that didn’t suit me. I thought the crust was pretty, though! :) They have a clear menu and I know that people love it, here so I will be back to try the thin crust pizza or a sandwich since it’s close to work.

This pizza is awesome! We have only ordered delivery, but I have never been disappointed. We’ve tried the double crust, thin crust, and Chicago-​style… I would say the thin crust wins hands-​down. It’s fresh and very satisfying. I have had great service from both the staff answering the phones, and the delivery drivers.
The Chicago area is a pizza Mecca, and this place never disappoints!

Capri Pizza & Pasta is a small pizzeria/​fast food eatery located off of Roosevelt Road in Wheaton. I’ve been to Capri a few times over the years and have tried a variety of items which I’ll touch on in this review.
First off is the Pizza, I’ve had slices served here and they’re so so. They are a thick crust pan style slice, I wasn’t a big fan of the sauce used on this pizza or the seasoning. The crust was thick and not particularly flavorful though the texture was harder than I like but not unbearable, at some point I might try an actual pizza but overall Capri made my «do not return» list for picking up individual slices.
Next off is the hot dog here. Today I finally stopped in and tried Capri’s hot dog and it wasn’t too bad. The hot dog was served on a poppy seed bun, with mustard, relish, cucumber, pickle slice, sport pepper and tomato. The bun was soft, the pickle was a little thick but not so thick that it overpowered other flavors. The cucumber was a welcome addition to this dog with a good complimentary flavor. The tomato was thinly sliced and not too soggy. There was no sign of celery salt on this hot dog. The pepper was not too hot and was a good compliment. The only real problem with this hot dog was the sausage used. This was a skinless dog that had more of a smoky flavor to it, while it was a thicker than normal jumbo style dog, it didn’t taste as good as most stock Vienna Beef or Red Hot Chicago dogs in the area. I’m not certain of the brand used here, but it didn’t seem to be a traditional Chicago style hot dog.
Overall, I’d recommend Capri for trying different menu items and I’m curious about trying their pasta in the future. For the money it’s not a bad place to get a hot dog either. I give it three stars.

1^st review of this place.
i only had the pizza slices.
my opinion, if you like dough, eat here.
the pizza slices are huge, and basically it is all dough.
the one star is for the pizza.
i will try another menu item.

We order from here quite often since its the closest to our house. The pizza is good, not fantastic (However, I am super picky) but whenever we have people over they all seem to like it. I especially like them because they always offer coupons, the pizza comes piping hot and on time. The delivery driver is great too! Awesome personality and knows that we just moved in, so he made some small talk about us liking the area. Good food and nice people get high stars from me!

Have you seen the Seinfeld where Jerry’s girlfriend changes from super hot to pungent-​looking depending on the lighting?
From my experience, and in talking to others, that’s how Capri’s pizza quality is like. It’s inconsistent.
I’m torn on Capri. Sometimes, the pizza slices taste like Keith Hernandez. Other times, I’d prefer not to have the taste of George Costanza on my tongue.
In truth, it doesn’t vary that widely but it’s noticeable even for an idiot like me.
One thing I really like about this place is that they always have pizza by the slice (for around $ 3 or 3.50) that’s usually relatively fresh. This is definitely a take-​out place though. They’ve only got a few tables inside their space and a few just outside so plan on taking your food elsewhere.
Capri’s pizzas aren’t bad but keep your expectations low so you aren’t disappointed.

Capri Pizza & Pasta in Wheaton serves up a mouthwatering Green Pepper, Bacon, Pepperoni, Mushroom and Onion PIZZA!!! During the day you can get slices to go. Grilled Chicken sandwich is a favorite too!
These guys even deliver pizza in the morning… wow!
