TUSCANY PIZZA & CAFÉ – READ THIS

I walked into Tuscany expecting pizza.

I walked out questioning every meal I’ve ever eaten before.

Let me be clear: this is not a pizza place. This is a culinary awakening disguised as a café.

The moment you open the door, something shifts. The smell alone should require a warning label. The pizza hits the table looking like it was handcrafted by someone who respects you as a human being. The crust? Perfectly balanced—crispy, airy, and somehow emotional. The sauce tastes like it was simmered by an Italian grandmother who doesn’t speak English and doesn’t tolerate nonsense. The cheese stretches so far it should pay rent.

And then there’s the café side—smooth, rich coffee that doesn’t just wake you up, it reminds you why you’re alive. One sip and suddenly you’re more focused, more peaceful, and slightly convinced you should start a novel.

Every bite feels intentional. Every detail matters. You can taste that nobody here is cutting corners. This is food made by people who care deeply, almost dangerously so.

I’ve seen families go silent mid-conversation. I’ve watched skeptics become loyalists in under five minutes. I’ve personally reconsidered my weekly schedule just to make room for Tuscany.

If you haven’t been here yet, I honestly envy you—because your first bite is still ahead of you.

Tuscany isn’t a place you try once.
It’s a place you build cravings around.

Go hungry.
Leave humbled.“

“Everyone is so nice and friendly in here. Love their pizza, penne vodka, chicken parm roll and chicken parm dinners have all been great!!“

“16 of us for a moms night out. They set us up in the private room so our cackling wouldn’t disturb the other nice folks LOL. Our server was so nice and attentive and the food was delicious. For appetizers we had focaccia, stuffed mushrooms, antipasto, rice balls with side of sauce. For dinner we had sausage and peppers, chicken francese, penne vodka, cavatelli with broccoli, roasted potatoes with balsamic drizzle. Would definitely recommend Capricci for a private party.“

“We've been getting the zucchini sticks and they are best ever! And a nice big portion. The sauce with it is also outstanding! Please don't change a thing about them!!!“

“Love this place best Sicilian pizza !“

“Held my daughter’s Bridal Shower here today and I can’t say enough wonderful things about it. The service and food was exceptional. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. We were so pleased and I would highly recommend hosting your event here.“

“The food here was great though I felt the service was what I will describe as awkward. The people working the front desk seemed very informal, taking my order and walking away even though I was ready to pay. Instead I had to ask to pay, which they then told me if I wanted I can pay at the end (yes I understand that, but by asking to pay I clearly wanted to do it then as a show of good will and to get it over with; I like paying first so I can eat in peace). It is kind of the place where they ask what you want and then expect you to leave.

As for the actual food, I will say the grandma pizza tasted amazing. It was arguably one of the best I have had, and I have been to pizza places all over the state. The price was not terrible, as it was around $3.50 a slice or so.

Based on these things, I think a 4 star review is in order (I would give 4.5 stars if possible). The food was amazing and I can deal with awkward service. I would recommend this location based on the food alone.“

“There are a few good pizzerias around the Freehold area. But this is our favorite place! Great tasting pizza and subs. They always get my order done quickly and correctly. Very good selection of food. They are professional and it is always perfect!“
