Capella Pizzeria - Birmingham, Alabama

We took a chance driving 20 minutes out of the way based on great reviews on Google and boy was everyone right! If you’re looking for Italian style pizza, look no further. We tried three different pizzas and all of us enjoyed our coal fired pizzas. They play soccer matches on the TVs and have a nice setup to get olive oil, marinara, Parmesan and serving ware. The gelato was also really good. We would definitely come back if we are in town again!

If you're looking for a fantastic pizza spot along 280, Cappella's is a must-visit. The pizzas here are consistently fresh, with a perfect balance of crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings. The menu offers a variety of options, from classic favorites like pepperoni and margherita to more unique combinations. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, which really sets them apart. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is casual yet inviting.

Highly recommend trying their signature pies, and don't skip out on their garlic knots — they’re a great side!

Best pizza we’ve had in Birmingham. Cool
Atmosphere - pizzas are wood fired! Very cool topping station includes tomato sauce, herbs, Parmesan and oil. We also tried the homemade cannoli which were excellent.

Nice place! Picnic tables seat large groups. Food was delicious. Very thin crust real pizza cooked in wood ovens. My child loved the pepperoni ? it wasn't your typical pieces of pepperoni. High quality pizza. Very Crowded place with outdoor seating also. Friendly owners very nice people. If I lived closer this would be my go to pizza place.

I want to start off by saying this review would have been a 5 star rating had it not been for the horrible customer service experience I had. I am going to go into the issue of why and then give my thoughts on the magnificent food I had.

I ordered this food on Uber Eats and dealing with Uber can sometimes be a nightmare. My order constantly kept being pushed by an hour then another hour then another hour. Next thing I know my order is canceled. Idk if it was my mistake or Uber eats. Either way I was charged $83.00 because Uber claimed the food was already made. I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager to find out if I could just come get the food. I found out the order that was put in was for the Hwy 280 location which me being in Pinson not sure why that location would even pop up. The manager informed me that they aren't on Uber eats only that location is but I could just come to the Trussville location and pick it up.

When I arrived at the restaurant my order was ready and I was blindsided by being told I had to pay for the food again that I've already been charged for (another $81.14). I was flabbergasted but paid anyway because I just wanted the nightmare to be over. I had just got out the gym and me and my friends were hungry! I was then told Uber would refund me my money and if they didn't then the restaurant themselves would refund me. I called Uber and guess what they refused to refund me even after I told them what happened and the fact I was still at the restaurant standing outside. I called Uber multiple times even requesting to speak to a manager who never called me back. I then contacted the restaurant again and the guy told me he would handle it and called Uber Eats and said give him a few days once again if they don't refund me then he would. Monday after work (All this happened Friday March 15th) I contacted the restaurant manager again he said he had handled it and even sent me a forwarded email showing where Uber Eats was supposed to refund me. I called Uber and guess what refund still denied. I was at a doctor's appointment so I couldn't call the restaurant back at the time.

Later I sent the restaurant manager a text telling him Uber still won't refund me and I hoped he would keep his word and just refund me my money. He has not refunded to me since. So now they have gotten paid by me twice for food I only received once and I am out $164.14! I will never ever support this place again they have seemed to refuse to honor their word.

Now as for the review itself. The food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered a meatlovers, Pepperoni, and Margarita pizza with one slice of their 3 layered chocolate cake. I have literally no complaints everything was so fresh and very top tear high quality food. This pizza would have definitely been in my top ten favorites if it wasn't for the issue I had above. This pizza can definitely compete with any of the top pizza joins we have in the state of Alabama and I give it a sold 9.2/10

The chocolate cake was okay I wasn't the biggest fan and wasn't expecting what I received where there was very little cake and most of it was like mouse and whipped cream. Not for me but to a sweets and chocolate lover it is definitely for you. I won't rate it because it won't be fair.

All in all I was ready to heavily support this place but after all I've been put through they will never have my money again.

UPDATE: I have been asked by many people for an update on this place. It has been 3 months and still nobody has gotten back to me about my refund. The owners clearly don't care about the what is now stolen money. Will never ever be back here period!

I just wanted to share that I enjoyed a delightful evening with my daughter, savoring an exceptionally large margarita. The pizza we ordered was very tasteful, featuring great dough and a perfectly crispy crust, thanks to their wood-burning oven.
We're definitely planning to bring the whole family back to enjoy another authentic Italian pizza. It was a nice little find!

We went at lunchtime on a Saturday and it was not crowded at all. They made our pizza fresh to order but it still was a very short wait. You could tell the dough is fresh and made in-house. It was thin and light and had an excellent crunch. We ordered the 12-inch Siena pizza. The sauce is made from San Marzano tomatoes and had that fresh, lightly sweet taste you get from an authentic Napoli pizza pie. Our pizza had just the right amount of Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni that added just the a little zing to each bite. It was INCREDIBLE!! I can’t recommend this place enough. If it were in my town it would be PACKED on a Saturday at lunchtime. We ended our meal with gelato and it was the best I’ve had - super creamy and sweet. This place is worth a visit!
