From Umbria to the homes of Carefree, Pizzicata brings our family’s recipes and an enthusiasm rooted in sharing Italiano cuisine with Arizona and the world.We are proud to be the first pinseria in Arizona.What is Pinsa?Long before the days of pizza, Pinsa was introduced and crafted by the Romans using wheat, soy and rice flours as the main ingredients in the dough. The resulting Pinsa contained less gluten, less carbs and less fat while maintaining a crispy yet light crust when baked therefore making it more digestible yet still delizioso.

It was a lovely experience. Even in the slightly chilly evening, the outdoor tables were very nice and the heaters kept it warm. I thought the menu was really good and had choices for everyone. Service was wonderful. Sara did a wonderful job.

We have been to Pizzicata a number of times. We are not regulars at any place. But the Chef's Special under Pasta was disappointing. It was long on pasta and very short on meat. Serving it on a plate was not quite right. A bowl would have been better. We will return for it's good pizza and other dishes.

Prompt and friendly service. Dined outside and they have a great patio that is quiet and comfortable. Told our server we were in a bit of a hurry and he took our order and had it out in 20 minutes. We shared a bruschetta board and it was delightful. We will be back without hesitation.
