This is the most flavorful pizza in Boise. The sauce is complex, the mozzarella is fresh, and the combinations compliment each other nicely. The crust is also fantastic. I hadn't noticed how delicious it was until taking a dough ball home, and making my own pizza with it. At that point I realized my favorite part was the crust. You... More

I was really excited to try this place after reading the other reviews. The pizza was good, loved the crust--but I ordered a pizza with prosciutto and it was odd. The prosciutto was shredded or minced or something--not what I expected at all. I kind of thought prosciutto was supposed to be shaved into thin slices. The other toppings: mushrooms,... More

Okay, I'm weird and don't LOVE pizza. It's not what I seek out. This was a refreshingly great pizza. Thin crust, but not crispy (I wish it was more crispy). Opted to have the clams casino (heavy bacon) and pearl pizza ( a shrimp, clams and scallops). The latter done with Alfredo. Tasted fantastic, but Alfredo was heavy. A lighter... More

Delicious thin crust, brick-oven style pizza. Small size pizza is enough for one adult plus take-home leftovers. Antipasto salad is yummy, as is the cheese bread appetizer. They usually feature a couple good local wines and beers, among other choices. Don't bother with tiramisu--not traditional, not very good. Often there is a wait if you go at peak dinner time....

Not much more I can add that hasn't been positively said, except you must give this a try. Excellent ingredients and very well prepared.

This is the worst fire oven pizza I have ever eaten (BSU has a better one near the multipurpose building, don't remember the the name of the building). The crust was soggy in the middle and burnt on the edges (and you could taste it) the cheese was well I think there was no cheese but they said there was,... More

This is one of the better places for pizza in the valley. A wide variety of choices or make your own combination. The staff is very friendly and most important attentive. Beer prices are reasonable. Just a real nice to go.

Having grown up in Stratford, CT (20 minute drive to Pepe's) I too have been looking for great pizza since I left in 1997. It turns out that the owner Dan grew up one town to the north of me. Well all I can say is this is the closest to Pepe's that I have seen anywhere on earth and... More

The owner claims to have pizza styled after New York City, New Haven CT, and Naples, Italy. He's very close and Casanova has the best pizza I've had since leaving the east coast. You can get variations off the menu if you request them. The crust is thin and crisp and the ingredients fresh. Side salads are big enough for... More

I lived in NYC for 11 years and travel the world quite extensively so it came as quite a surprise to say to my wife that Cassanova has the best pizza I've ever eaten (she concurred by the way). We ate here twice while in town. The first time we got the vegetarian (my wife's favorite), the clam/bacon (my favorite)... More
