Score
Medium Risk

The health department has logged 11 inspections at Bacios Pizzerial, the earliest from 2022. On Apr 16, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “ceiling/ceiling tiles/vents soiled”, which has been cited nine times.

Compared to other Cape Coral restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
