The best pizza in Naples hands down, 100x better than that Michele place that has 40k reviews because of a movie. This will be the only pizza place I will eat in Naples, The pizza speciale is hands down my favorite of the few I have tried, I’m now eating my 3rd in a week. It is too good to pass up.

Outstanding pizza Neapolitan style. Very flavorful sauce and mozzarella, soft thin crust. Simply amazing. They have achieved the perfect value proposition: cheap, fast, quality! You seldom see all three. Highly recommended.

The very first experience of Neapolitan pizza, recommended by our Italian host. The place was empty when we came in but quickly filled in after 7 pm, there were lots of Italian families and couples dining which was a food sign. We decided for different pizzas to try, but to disappointment of the waiter we didn't decide to try Neapolitan fried pizza. Great choice of pizzas and fried snacks. There are also beverages available, including beer. Pizzas were for less than €10 so very affordable. The pizzas were served promptly and the size of them- oh my goodness, you won't dine better for less than €10. The pizzas were delicious, the dough very soft but crispy on the crust. They were generous with the toppers. Absolutely great! These pizzas make definitely in the top 3 during the stay in Napoli. There are plenty of tables available, but it can get crowdy in the evenings, during lunch time and at the weekends so please be mindful of that, no table bookings. Great location of the place either. I missed a bit of atmosphere in this place and the waiter was a bit too pushy with ordering fried pizza but the rest of the service was good.

It took me a long time to find the perfect, authentic Napoletan pizza, but I finally managed. This place is where you want to go for the actual Napoletan staple that will blow your mind, and for the most fair price you can get. We got a margherita con bufala (6.50 EUR) and a salsiccia e friarielli (8 EUR). They are HUGE, as an authentic picca should be, and the dough is just perfect. Apart from that, the staff is probably among the most friendly people I have met. Raffaele, Carmine and Genny are absolute legends, they made our outsanding dinner even better with their chat and their sympathy. We will for sure come back here the next time we are in town, this pizzeria is absolutely fantastic!
