Wood-Fired Pizza Santa Rosa — Capriciano Osteria
Real wood-fired Italian pizza, baked the way it was meant to be — in the heart of Santa Rosa’s wine country.
At Capriciano, our pizza is a love letter to Naples and the firewood ovens of Italy. Each pie begins with a hand-stretched dough, gets dressed with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, and finishes in our wood-fired oven — where the high heat blisters the crust, melts the cheese, and locks in flavor in a way no other method can match. From the classic Margherita to our signature Pizza Capriciano, every pizza is built to be shared.
What Makes Our Pizza Special?
The Italian Tradition
Italians have been making pizza this way for centuries — a simple stretch of dough, a few perfect ingredients, and a wood-fired oven hot enough to cook each pie in minutes. At our Santa Rosa osteria, we keep the tradition alive: dough made fresh, sauce built from San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella torn by hand. The wood-fired oven does what no electric oven can — it gives the crust its lift, its char, and the unmistakable flavor of real Italian pizza.

What to Expect at Your Table
Our pizzas arrive as you would expect from a proper Italian osteria — bubbling, lightly charred at the edges, and built to be shared. Cooked one at a time in our firewood oven, each pie reaches the table at its peak. Your server is always nearby to recommend a wine pairing from our Italian and California list, or flag the evening’s specials. No rush, no shortcuts — just the pleasure of a table done right.
Why Choose Our Pizza?
Wood-Fired the Right Way
Our pizzas are cooked in a true firewood oven at high heat — the only way to get the char, lift, and texture that define a real Italian pie. Each pizza is hand-stretched, dressed, and slid into the oven and out again in minutes, never longer than it should be.
Authentic Italian Ingredients
San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, Italian sausage, fontina, pesto, pancetta — our pizza menu is built on the ingredients Italians have always used. Every pie pairs naturally with a glass from our Italian and California wine list.
