The story
Pizzeria Virtu on East Main Street in Scottsdale carries a straightforward mission — honor the Napoletana tradition of pizza making without compromise. That commitment has earned the restaurant recognition from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, which awarded Pizzeria Virtu 2 slices in its 2025 rankings. For a guide that measures pizza against the exacting standards of Naples itself, that recognition means something.
The room offers more than one way to experience it. Guests can settle into the indoor dining room, pull up a stool at the bar, or take a seat on the heated outdoor patio — a welcome option during Scottsdale's cooler evenings. The dress code is deliberately relaxed: elegant casual and business suits are equally at home here. It's the kind of place where the pizza is taken seriously, but the atmosphere isn't stiff.
Pizzeria Virtu sits within the Virtu Hospitality family, which also operates Virtu Honest Craft nearby on Marshall Way. The two concepts share a commitment to craft while each holding its own identity — Pizzeria Virtu keeping its focus squarely on the Napoletana pizza tradition that earned it its reputation.
Lunch and dinner are served Tuesday through Saturday, with a menu lineup that extends to cocktails and wine alongside the food.
