Busy Friday night, Sam was our server and did an amazing job. We had a group of 9. Everyone loved their pizzas! We didn’t feel like we waited for anything, pizza came out faster than expected and drinks never ran dry before refills or round 2. It’s my wife’s favorite pizza place in town. We had the Joanna, and the Gabriella. We have had the Valentina before and all of them are incredible.

Let me preface that Il Bosco fluctuates within my top 3 neapolitan style pizza in the entire state – it’s usually that good.
The pie combinations are excellent, quality ingredients, and extremely fair prices.
Not sure what happened today but my wife and I placed a to-go order for (2) pies – the Za and Divina and of course per usual, we order it “Well Done”. We were quoted that it’d take ~30 minutes give or take which is normal – I expect it to take long. However, it was ready for pick-up in 9 minutes! I thought to myself “Wow! That’s a record – lucky us”.
Picked up the pizza a minute or two after we received the notification. Pizza looked great as usual.. but when I took a bite – I quickly found out it was not “well done” – nor was it fully cooked inside. The pizza dough as slightly underdone because I could taste the soft dough – it didn’t have the air pockets and crisp that it usually has but had a doughy texture instead. My wife and I still absolutely loved the flavor of the pies but were disappointed that the pizza was undercooked despite us specifying it to be “well done” which I guess wasn’t surprising when I remembered that it only took 9 minutes for the pizza to be ready!
Nonetheless, we’ll be back at il Bosco at some point.. we were just sad that we didn’t fully enjoy our pizzas that night at one of our favorite spots.

Tonight was our first visit to Il Borno. We shared a caesar salad to start. I had the Patrizia and my husband had the Joana. The crust was perfectly crisp on the bottom and soft and chewy in the middle. It had a perfect wood fired char all the way around. The red sauce was spot on. The spicy sausage on my husband’s pizza was delicious. And the mushrooms on my pizza were perfectly cooked and had a ton of flavor. This won’t be our last visit!

Chantel was awsome and very informative. She helped us choose a variety and favorites and also the catering size salad for our party of 10! Everything was hot & fresh! In 20mins we had 5 pies and a huge salad!! Kudos

Very good wood fired pizza. The crust is crispy and light. Friendly and fast service as well. Highly recommended and will be back to try their other pizzas.

This has become our favorite wood fired pizza restaurant. We don’t live in Scottsdale, but this is where we eat when in the area. The restaurant interior is small, but they have a large patio with umbrellas.
Our favorite pizza is the “ZA”, which is slightly spicy and very flavorful with a hint of honey. Excellent! We usually also try another pizza, like the Lucia or Katarina.
The staff have always been attentive, and they have a good selection of drinks to go with your food.

Sat out on the front patio. Nice atmosphere and pretty good service. We split a chop salad and a Lucia pizza. The salad was dressed well with good soprasata. The pizza was tremendous. A great crispy crust complimented by a nice tangy red sauce with the perfect amount of cheese. The sausage and mushrooms were delicious. Accompanied by the Il Bosco Crispy Lager it was a great meal!

We arrived on a Friday evening. We walked inside and were told we can sit anywhere we find a spot and there were a few tables for two near the front. We sat down and the waitress came over right away and took our drink order. We ordered two beers off their happy hour menu. We then noticed how wobbly the table was. The table was also incredibly weathered. So much so that it was peeling and has sharp points on it. They really need to either put covers on the tables, refinish them or just order new ones. In addition the chairs are metal and very uncomfortable. They have that waffle weave pattern so as I got up to go to the rest room, I found the pattern imprinted on my legs…sigh. The patio is really quaint and has nice outdoor lights outside. If it is a good weather day, this is definitely a great option.
We ordered a pizza and the chopped salad. The salad had Romaine, sopressata, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and was dressed with a balsamic reduction. It was really fresh and crisp. We would order it again. We also ordered the Joanna pizza. It is a red sauce pizza with spicy sausage, spicy pepperoni, mozzarella cheese. We really enjoyed it. We will be back.

Quality pizza at a reasonable price. The stuffed peppadew peppers w/ spicy Italian sausage were unique. They were tasty with a good mix of sweet and spicy. The sausage was excellent. This was a great dish, but the portion size could have been a bit larger. The chopped salad was enough for three to four people with a good mix of ingredients. The pizza was tasty, cooked perfectly, and served hot with a nice crust. Chantel was a friendly, professional, and attentive server. Will definitely go back.
