Where to eat Pizza in Naples

[antoniusp]

Hullo,

 

Any advice on where we can find genuine pizza not far from port of Naples.

 

Many thanks

What would qualify as "fake" pizza?

 

You'll find excellent pizza all over Naples. I wouldn't buy it from a tavalo caldo (the places with food diplays on the street - they take a slice and warm it up for you), but there are proper pizza restaurants on every block throughout the city. I had a good pizza last month at at place on Via Medina (near the intersection of Calata San Marco), which is about three short blocks from the cruise port. I don't remeber the name, but it's the only one at that location - they have both a small restaurant and a pizza place connected to one another.

For us, there is only one place for pizza in Napoli:

 

L' antica Pizzeria Da Michele

Via Cesare Sersale 1

 

It's a 20-30 minute walk from the ship, depending where your ship docks.

 

It's the proverbial birthplace of pizza. Don't miss it!

Lew, I've read so many good reviews about Da Michele. We really wanted to try it out on our day in Naples. There was a line a mile long of people waiting to place their order!!! My husband was too hungry to wait and I was too impatient so we ended up going somewhere else. Luckily, we had gone to the tourist bureau to get a map. We had asked the man at the desk what recommendations he had for us so we did have "back-up" pizza places to check out. He must have known about Da Michele's extreme popularity. :p

We arrived at about 11:15 and walked right in. There were just a few seats available at that time.

 

When we left at about noon, there was a short line. I would recommend getting there early if you want to avoid a long wait.

 

Service is fast and prices very reasonable. The two pizzas in the photo plus a 1 liter bottle of water cost €11,50.

I was just about to say the same thing. Get there early! But if you don't it is worth the wait! We had no line at 11:30 a.m. (Sat at the same table Julia Roberts is sitting at in "Eat Pray Love") A memory and taste I won't soon forget!!! That's what pizza was meant to be!

Many thanks for the useful feedback.

We had the best pizza we have ever eaten in Naples at Antica Pizzeria E Friggitoria Di Mattea. It is in the heart of Naples about half way to the museum.

Just about anywhere.

Not all pizze are created equal! It is possible to get a bad pizza even in Italy.
