Ilona and Carlos opened Caprigios Pizza in 2019 with a simple mission: bring back the high-quality food you can’t get at chain stores. 🍕
This family-owned pizzeria combines Italian heritage with Puerto Rican passion, creating handcrafted specialty pizzas with their signature sauce that has Clarksville locals abandoning the big names.
Located across from Tennova Healthcare, Caprigios won hearts with fresh ingredients, house-made meatballs, and cannoli cream made from scratch daily.

Within just a few years of opening, the pizzeria earned recognition as one of Clarksville’s top restaurants by consistently delivering pizzas with dough that “bends with freshness” and sauce that’s “bold” with toppings “bursting with flavor.”
Their commitment to fresh, local ingredients and attention to detail—right down to fresh flowers on every table—created an experience that made customers declare “so long Papa John’s!” 🌸
What really solidified their reputation was the best ingredient they add to everything: genuine love for what they do, making every visit feel like coming home.
