Whether you crave a classic slice, a deep-dish feast, or a wood-fired Neapolitan pie, Prescott’s pizza scene has something for every mood. From cozy, family-owned staples to creative newcomers reinventing the crust, you’ll find plenty of places worth a spot on your must-eat list.
Let’s get to it.
Papa’s Italian Restaurant
Papa’s Italian Restaurant has been serving Prescott from its downtown spot just half a block from Courthouse Square for more than thirty years. Inside, the dining room feels like a cozy Tuscan hideaway. Large family gatherings, birthday celebrations and laughing kids all fit comfortably under its warm lights.
The pizza menu shines with daily-handcrafted dough. Choose the thin-crust Pizza Rustica or go bold with the Chicago-style stuffed Priazzo. The Classic Combo piles on pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers and onions. The Mediterranean pizza features feta and kalamata olives for a touch of elegance. Gluten-free diners can opt for a cauliflower crust and vegans can enjoy dairy-free cheese options.
Beyond pizza, the kitchen turns out homemade pastas, seafood dishes and calzones. Save room for a crisp cannoli or two. The bar stocks Italian wines, local drafts and craft cocktails. During happy hour, martinis run six dollars. Family-owned since 1991, the restaurant passed to Vanessa and Jason Perkins last year. They continue the tradition of scratch-made sauce and fresh ingredients, keeping Papa’s a Prescott staple.
Fresca Cafe
Here in Prescott, Fresca Cafe blends farm-to-table ingredients with New York pizza swagger. Family-owned for over nine years, this strip-mall spot specializes in pizzas named after Manhattan landmarks: Upper East Side, Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center.
Pizzas arrive on sixteen-inch dough made from scratch, along with a smaller rice-flour gluten-free option. Toppings range from spicy sopressata and figs to prosciutto and Italian sausage. Build-your-own enthusiasts can mix and match sauces, cheeses and fresh vegetables.
Beyond pizza, the menu covers pastas, paninis and wings. Don’t skip the house-made gelato or tiramisu if you want a sweet finish. Counter service keeps lines moving, and seating is casual enough for families. You can grab a latte or a crisp salad, then take your meal to go or dine in. Delivery is available throughout Prescott. Fresca Cafe’s focus on imported meats, cheeses and scratch-made dough gives every order a genuine Italian feel without the fuss.
Rosa’s Pizzeria (Prescott)
At Rosa’s Pizzeria in Prescott, classic New York-style rounds share the stage with thick, rectangular Sicilian and Grandma’s pies. Each crust is hand-tossed or “upside-down” baked to achieve a perfect balance of chew and crisp.
The Margherita pizza features fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil leaves. Meat Lovers piles deli-style pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon over mozzarella. Daily-baked dough and secret Sicilian recipes have stayed the same since Rosa and Domenic handed the business to new owners in 2018. You’ll sense that family-run warmth in every bite.
Inside, red brick walls and buffalo-plaid tablecloths create a welcoming atmosphere. The full bar offers local brews and cocktails. Outside, a dog-friendly patio fills up when the weather is nice.

At Granite Mountain Pizza Company, you’ll notice stone walls and rustic wood accents before you even taste the first slice. Everything here is made from scratch—dough included. That dedication shows in a crust that earns constant praise.
The menu features pepperoni, sausage, and other classics, but adventurous eaters gravitate toward the Big Kahuna, where pineapple and mandarin oranges share the stage. You can try the Magellan with white sauce and fontina or go spicy with jalapenos and sausage. Gluten-free and vegan crusts and toppings ensure no one misses out.
Prices strike a balance between wallet-friendly and splurge-worthy. Options include dine-in, delivery, or take-and-bake kits for home baking. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or hosting a family dinner, Granite Mountain holds its own as Prescott’s local pizza MVP.
Rosati’s Pizza
Established in the early ’90s, Rosati’s Pizza on Willis Street has been dishing out classic pies with no shortcuts. You can choose a buttery Chicago deep dish, a crisp thin crust, or their hand-rolled double dough that holds up to heavy toppings. The signature sauce is mixed in-house, and the scratch-made dough arrives fresh each day.
The Rosati’s Monster stacks sausage, meatballs, bacon, and a mountain of other meats. If you prefer something lighter, the Margarita, Spinach Classic, and White Pizza focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavor. You’ll find office lunches shoulder-to-shoulder with families intent on conquering a deep dish.
Counter service keeps things casual. A few TVs show the game, and seating for around 40 makes for a lively atmosphere. Beyond pizza, the menu includes lasagna, chicken parm, hot subs, and even tiramisu. It’s not Prescott’s fanciest spot, but once you taste that crust, you’ll wonder why you ever went anywhere else.
Limoncello Pizzeria Napoletana
Limoncello Pizzeria Napoletana transports Naples to Prescott under the guidance of chef-owner Matteo Schiavone. With thirty years of pizza experience, he crafts dough from scratch, tops it with San Marzano DOP tomatoes and fires pies in a wood-fired oven shipped directly from Naples.
The classic Margherita showcases fresh mozzarella and fragrant basil. Burrata and pesto elevate one pie, while another combines spicy sausage and broccoli rabe. For an over-the-top touch, the Golden Chicken pizza arrives with edible gold leaf. Gluten-free crust is available upon request.
The dining room is bright and casual, with a dog-friendly patio out front. Inside, high-tops and street-view windows host lunch crowds and families.

Two Mamas’ Gourmet Pizzeria
In downtown Prescott, Two Mamas’ Gourmet Pizzeria offers a dizzying array of crusts: hand-tossed thin, deep-dish pan, Chicago-style, and even a keto option built on sausage. Classic pies sit alongside specialty creations like the Goomba, piled high with assorted meats, or the Primo, loaded with Italian-American favorites. There’s also a margherita and a bacon-and-spinach breakfast-for-dinner pie.

You can build your own creation from ten to eighteen inches, with gluten-free and cauliflower crusts available. Quick slices and wings serve the lunch crowd in a mostly counter-service setting. Indoors, a patio, and accessible parking make dining easy.
Family-owned for years, the spot keeps prices in the “let’s just split it” range. Beer and wine complement the pies, and the casual atmosphere means you can focus on the crunch and flavor rather than formalities.
Peter Piper Pizza
Since 1973, Peter Piper Pizza has perfected the family-friendly formula. Bright red décor and an arcade room entertain kids while you wait for your order. Party rooms handle birthdays, complete with “Happy Birthday” sing-alongs and streamers.
The pizza is straightforward American style, offered with a hand-tossed crust, pan crust brushed with garlic butter and Italian spices, or a New York-style thin crust. Toppings stick to favorites like mozzarella and pepperoni, though combos such as The Werx or Pizza Mexicana add variety.
