Welcome to Capella

Birmingham’s Destination for True Neapolitan Pizza

Capella Pizzeria brings the art of Neapolitan pizza to Birmingham. Our story began with a passion for authentic Italian craftsmanship, rooted in founder Mehmet Ozbey’s family heritage and his uncle’s training in Italy. Today, we serve guests across Inverness Village, Trussville, and Uptown at the BJCC, offering an experience that blends warm hospitality with the highest standards of the pizzeria tradition. Every pizza is handcrafted with naturally leavened dough, San Marzano tomatoes, Caputo Italian flour, and Buffalo mozzarella, ingredients imported weekly from Italy. Our signature 900-degree wood-fired ovens achieve the perfect charred crust, delivering a light, easy-to-digest pizza that stands apart from heavy American styles. Whether gathering with family, meeting friends, or planning a special event, Capella Pizzeria is where memorable meals begin.

Our Story

A Heritage of Italian Craftsmanship, Shared Locally

Capella Pizzeria was founded to bring the spirit of Mediterranean hospitality and true Neapolitan technique to Birmingham. Mehmet Ozbey’s journey began in Turkey, continued through family mentorship in North Carolina, and was shaped by the Italian traditions his uncle learned firsthand. This legacy continues in every pizza we serve. Our kitchens operate with a quality-first commitment: we make our dough from scratch, allow it to ferment for a full day, and bake each pizza in a wood-fired oven built specifically for Capella in Naples. We open our doors to everyone, families, professionals, visitors, offering a casual but elevated setting where great food and great company come together. Recognized by Yelp as the Best Place to Eat in Birmingham for 2025, Capella Pizzeria stands as a testament to authentic Italian flavor, welcoming service, and the belief that every meal should be memorable.
