ONE PIE. ONE WHEEL. ONE TAKE.

Our friends at CT Pizza Tour are hosting their first ever contest, searching for Connecticut’s fastest pizza slicer. And around here, when a friend throws their first party, we show up!

Rocky on the wheel. A whole coal-fired pie, crust still crackling from the oven. No edits, no tricks. Just the real sound of a kitchen at work.

CT Pizza Tour pulled up a chair at our table for Stop 103. Today we pull up to theirs. That’s what makes Connecticut pizza culture special: kitchens across the state, all different, all connected by the same love for the craft.

Grateful to be part of it.

The Margherita. The Hot Honey.

Every pie built to order. Every crust fired in our coal oven until the edges char and the cheese finds its place.

The Hot Honey brings pepperoni, burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle that does exactly what it promises.

The Margherita keeps it honest. Sauce, mozzarella, basil. Nothing extra. Nothing missing.

Two pies. One oven. Come find yours.

Summer at IL CAPO.

The days run longer now.
The pace outside slows down a little.

And the table is still here for whatever the season brings.

A coal-fired pie, blistered at the edges.
Fresh rigatoni with tomato and arugula.
Arancini, crisp and golden.
A sub worth driving for.

Families at the counter.
Friends settling into a booth.
A cold Foxon Park soda on a warm afternoon.

Nothing rushed.
No occasion needed.

Just good food and good people, the way summer is supposed to feel.

The table's ready when you are. 🫂🍕

Grazie for being part of another season with us.

IL CAPO Uncovered | Episode 20
Leading From The Front

Wednesday nights have their own rhythm.

The tickets start stacking.
The oven runs hot.
The kitchen finds its pace.

On a night like this, the easy thing is to stay out front. Work the room. Shake a few hands.

John does plenty of that.

But when it gets loud in the back, he doesn't point from the doorway.

He steps in.

Beside Francisco on the line.
Beside Rosa, keeping the kitchen moving.
Hands in it, same as everyone else.

That's the thing about this place. Nobody is above the work. The name on the door belongs to the same person who is back here when it counts.

Twenty episodes in, and this is still what IL CAPO is really about.

Not the polished version.
The Wednesday version.

The people who show up for each other, so we can keep showing up for you.

Grazie for twenty chapters of letting us share these moments. Plenty more to come. ❤️

Made by hand.

That's not a phrase we use lightly around here.

It starts with semolina and water.
John knows when the mix is right.
Not from a recipe.
From feel.

From there, it goes into the extruder.
Rigatoni. Fresh. Cut right here.

Then it meets the sauce.
Grape tomatoes. Garlic. Olive oil. A little arugula.
Linda's recipe. The one John grew up watching her make.

The Anniversary Pasta.
On the menu now. Every night.

This is the food we always wanted to serve.
Made by hand, because it matters.

Come in. We'll make it for you. 🍝
