When we look at our journey, we see the beauty that is woven from the hard work, the persistence, and the passion that we use to operate our lives. It was a passion that led Federico Venturini and his wife, Viola, from Gualdo Tadino, Italy, to team up with an Arizona business owner of 30 years, Phil Igneri, and launch what we see today as, Pizzicata.
Pizzicata would be honored to provide our services for your next event. Each event is bespoke to your tastes and needs, to provide the best experience possible for you and your guests.
From Umbria to the homes of Carefree, Pizzicata brings our family’s recipes and an enthusiasm rooted in sharing Italiano cuisine with Arizona and the world.

Long before the days of pizza, Pinsa was introduced and crafted by the Romans using wheat, soy and rice flours as the main ingredients in the dough. The resulting Pinsa contained less gluten, less carbs and less fat while maintaining a crispy yet light crust when baked therefore making it more digestible yet still delizioso.

The pizza crust is amazing. Everyone in the family agrees that they have the best pizza in the Carefree/ Cave Creek/ North Scottsdale area, and it's usually impossible to get everyone to agree on something.
The bolognese sauce and homemade noodles are the best I've ever had. The gnocchi is so light and fluffy, I highly recommend it. The pizza crust is also perfect and crispy. Even the pizza sauce is great. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. This is a great restaurant.
Gnocchi was really good, great texture, nice with the Bolognese sauce. Pizzas were very good, near perfect bottom, just firm enough, not burnt, not floppy. Chocolate lava cake is a yes! Would go again.
What a great place! The food is terrific, the outdoor patio is so nice and the staff is very friendly. Of course it's "Carefree pricing", yet worth it, in my opinion.
The pizza is out of this world! Just like Italy.. the dessert was great also. The ambiance is perfect on a warm summer night and of course the owner Federico is an amazing host! Hats off to this place if you anywhere In Arizona, give it a try, you will be impressed!
