Cappy's Pizza

Cappy's in St. Pete specializes in deep dish pizza. It has received several "Best of the Bay" awards in the past 20 years.
Situated in a charming old house that creaks with nostalgia and white strung lights draped above the front porch seating area, the straight-forward, retro-inspired menu can’t be beat. You’ll have the normal discussion about toppings, but the main debate at Cappy’s is East Coast versus Midwest. The New York-style pie is thin and chewy with a sweet tomato sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicago-style deep dish pizza has thick crust dusted with cornmeal and spicier tomato sauce. Don’t be shy, grab a beer from the self-serve cooler and frosty mugs in the freezer!
