Best Pizza Places in Scottsdale
Scottsdale, Arizona — updated August 22, 2026
Scottsdale's pizza scene runs from a Neapolitan room on Scottsdale Road to an evening-only pizzeria on Becker Lane. Here's how the ratings, review counts and hours actually compare.
Listings verified
Scottsdale pizza splits into two habits: all-day rooms along Scottsdale Road that open at 11am and serve pizza alongside pasta, and small pizzerias that don't unlock the door until late afternoon. Several of the best-rated options here are dinner-only, so the plan matters more than usual. Below, places are ordered by how squarely they answer the pizza question, with review counts used as a measure of how settled each rating is.
1. Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana
Pomo leads because it is a Neapolitan pizzeria first, and its 4.5 rating rests on more than 1,500 reviews, the most settled score on this list. Along with the pizzas there are homemade pastas, so a table split between pizza people and pasta people works. It is at 8977 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 504, open from 11am seven days a week, until 9pm Sunday through Thursday and 10pm Friday and Saturday. Happy hour runs Monday to Friday, 3pm to 6pm, and is not offered on weekends, which makes a late-afternoon weekday visit the value play.
2. iPizza Pizzeria
The highest-rated dedicated pizzeria in this group: 4.8 across 245 reviews. That is a strong average on a moderate sample, so call it promising rather than proven in the way Pomo's is. It sits at 7620 E McKellips Rd, Suite 1, in south Scottsdale near the Tempe line, which is well away from the Scottsdale Road cluster and worth knowing if you are driving from Old Town. Published hours were inconsistent across sources at the time of writing, so call ahead or check the pizzeria's own site before making the trip.
3. IL Bosco Pizza
A dinner-only pizzeria at 7120 E Becker Ln in north Scottsdale, holding a 4.6 rating from 546 reviews, which is enough volume to take seriously. There is no lunch service: the doors open in the late afternoon, with listings showing a 4pm or 4:30pm start depending on the source, closing at 9pm most nights and 8pm on Sunday. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4pm, so the first seating of the evening is the one to aim for. The site takes table reservations, useful given the short nightly window.
4. Picazzo's Healthy Italian Kitchen
Picazzo's earns its place on ingredient sourcing: the kitchen builds its modern Italian menu on organic, non-GMO ingredients, and pulls in Mediterranean, Asian and Mexican flavors rather than sticking to a strict Neapolitan script. The 4.5 rating comes from 945 reviews, a large enough base that the score is unlikely to move much. Find it at 7325 E Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd, open 11am to 8pm Sunday through Thursday and 11am to 9pm Friday and Saturday. The 11am opening makes it one of the few genuine lunch options among the higher-rated pizza spots here.
5. Strad Pizza
Strad has the lowest average in this lineup, 4.4 from 433 reviews, but that is still a broad enough sample to be reliable rather than a fluke of a few bad nights. It is at 13802 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 165, opening at 11am every day of the week, which puts it in the small group of Scottsdale pizzerias serving lunch. Closing time is listed differently across sources, some showing 8pm and one 9pm, so check before a late order. Takeout ordering is handled through the restaurant's own online menu.
6. Pubblico Italian Eatery
Pubblico is last here because pizza shares the menu with homemade pasta and larger entrees rather than headlining it, though the 4.5 rating from 392 reviews is consistent. The address is 7001 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 184. Service starts at 4pm, running to 9pm Sunday through Thursday and 10pm Friday and Saturday, with happy hour every day from 4pm. Weekend brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm, the only daytime service on the schedule. Reservations are available through the restaurant's site, worth using for the Friday and Saturday dinner hours.
What we left off
Cool Gelato Italiano rates 4.8 across 248 reviews and its menu runs to gelato, sorbet and desserts such as raspberry tiramisu. Good, but not pizza, so it does not belong on this list. It is also open only Friday through Sunday, closed Monday to Thursday. Andreoli Italian Grocer, a 4.7 with more than 1,700 reviews, is an Italian grocer and kitchen on East Via Linda, and nothing in our sourcing placed pizza on its menu, so we left it for a different guide. It is closed Sunday and Monday.
