Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article gave incorrect information about who opened Il Bosco Pizza.

The Phoenix Pizza Poll launched earlier this month, in which a whopping 25 contenders went head-to-head in a reader poll to determine who makes the best pizza in metro Phoenix. The top three vote-getters, Trevor's, Cibo and Il Bosco, made it to the second round.

Readers went all in, with thousands of votes placed in the final round. But only one restaurant can be named the winner of the Phoenix Pizza Poll 2025.

And the winner is — Il Bosco Pizza in Phoenix and Scottsdale.

First opened in Scottsdale by Bill Forrest in 2012 and later purchased by Jeff Carlberg in 2018, the restaurant now has three locations across Scottsdale and Phoenix. Il Bosco serves artisanal pizzas prepared in a 900-degree Valoriani woodfired oven. The menu includes two dozen specialty flavors, with vegan and gluten-free options available.

"We're really honored," Carlberg said after learning of Il Bosco's win. "I'm just thrilled because our staff work so hard, and it really is due to our customers. They're wonderful."
