so cheap and so so good!

€6 for a huge pizza. that’s what i’m talking about! yum yum yum. so tasty, fresh and filling. there’s four options, 1 vegan (being the marinara), but just incredible. best pizza we’ve had in italy. only €1 service charge each too!

Kult-Pizzeria in Neapel

Die Marinara war wirklich sehr lecker, da vermisst man auch keinen Käse.

Man sollte zu jeder Uhrzeit mit Wartezeit rechnen. Du kannst dich entscheiden, ob du “To Go“ oder vor Ort essen möchtest. Du ziehst eine Nummer, die auf einem kleinen Display angezeigt wird. Es gibt mehrere Restaurants, die zur gleichen Pizzeria gehören, also wundere dich nicht, wenn du woanders hingeschickt wirst.

Wir haben für 2 Marinara und zwei Sprite 19€ gezahlt.

Pros: Authentisch , Günstige Pizza

Cons: Teure Getränke

Tasty and cheap!

For only €6 per pizza you can't go wrong. The takeaway experience took 10-15mins for 4 pizzas around 7:30pm on a Tuesday. I think the waiting time comes down to luck really!

The marinara pizza is delicious. You don't miss the cheese as the tomato sauce is fresh and garlicky.

1 Bite, Everyone Knows The Ruse

This place has been making pizza since 1870. A full pie will cost you 5 euro. The front door is covered with Michelin Guide stickers, from many years running. And it's in a Hollywood movie. So you can expect it to be very, very busy. A Hit or a Miss.. Depending on yr experience, that particular moment, yr time here will be vastly different from the next persons.

Our experience was awesome! It was Aug '22. There is such a vibe in those streets, we barely even stepped through the front doors. We enjoyed some Aperol drinks while we waited in line for 40 minutes to place our order and pay. Then waited another 50 minutes for our name to be called, and the pizza handed to us.
We stood at a little barrel table around the corner, in front of a wine store and gave 'er a try. The Marinara Pizza was Super Tasty! You can tell they use quality ingredients. Charred to perfection! My travelling companion, on the other hand, tried the Margherita pizza. It was pretty soggy, and soupy, thanks to the cheese. The pizza may have been sitting ready in the box a while.
But overall Great taste, Delicious dough and quality ingredients.
Could've used some Hot Sauce though!

If you planned yr whole trip around visiting this place, you might be disappointed. This was just a bonus in our trip and I'm glad we did it!
I give it a 9.2

Great pizza

As many other has said, the experience were so worth it, and the pizza was delicious :)
We went there around seven, got ourselves a number and just had to wait like 15 minutes, then we had our table, and the pizzas came quick. We loved the taste and ate it all! There's four pizzas to choose between, but only one vegan.

Pros: The taste, The experience , The aircondition

Cons: Could be a long wait thou it's popular

Be prepared for a long wait

Waited for a long time and were almost turned away. Just as we lost hope our order was taken. The pizza was great! Think of the wait as part of the experience but don't come when starving. We did take away not sit in.

A truly memorable experience, worth the wait

This is one of the oldest pizzerias in the world (over 150 years old); and dining there is a truly unique experience. It's very popular, and the lineups are huge, however they seem pretty well used to catering for such volume and we had no problem getting a ticket for a table, going for a drink around the corner, and coming back just before our table was ready.

The experience was truly memorable and the pizza was very special.
Totally worth the hype, and the wait.

Pros: Historically significant, Very well optimised for catering to crowds, Excellent pizza!

Cons: Very popular and lines can be long

Traditional pizza Neapolitan

If you want to try a traditional Neapolitan pizza, this is definitely the place to go.
It might surprise you, because we are used to contemporary Neapolitan pizza accords the world.
But it’s very good!
There is almost no space to sit and it’s overcrowded, take away service is very quick, so if you don’t mind to eat it straight from the street it’s better

Pros: Take away service is quick

Trappola per turisti

Sicuramente è una pizzeria storica, ma cosa c'è oltre la storia? Poco. Poca qualità, poca professionalità, poca pulizia. Ti fanno aspettare per ore per poi farti sedere a tavoli ancora non puliti, la Margherita è un flop (al contrario della marinara che è molto buona) e i dipendenti ti pressano per la mancia.

Best pizza I ever had.
Tip: order through just eat to your hotel to avoid queueing if you don’t mind not eating inside the restaurant.

Amazing

Everything I had hoped for. I already knew about the wait so that was no issue. The pizza is delicious and the staff was very nice. Hope to come back one day.

Must visit for classic marinara pizza

Loved! Worth the hour wait, you get a ticket and come back, make sure not to be late it’s very busy but worth it !
Only sells 3 pizzas , marinara for vegans😄(then 2 cheese options)
Big stretched based , lots of oregano & garlic.

Pros: Clear vegan option , no meat , One of the best pizzas in Naples , Inside seating

Cons: Busy

Naturally vegan

I waited nearly 1 h to get my Pizza Marinara. But I spoke with nice people in the queue and the waiting was worth it. Such a good Pizza, and naturally vegan. You have to try… the tomato sugo is unbelievable!
You can choose take away or pull a number for a table.

Pros: Marinara is vegan , Nice atmosphere , Cheap

Ober-Hyped nostalgia.

Waited for 40 minutes for take-away. (Got there around 16:20) pizza was honestly not great. Quite chewy and intense "burnt" taste. Probably better to get a table and eat super fresh, if the wait is comparable.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Slightly burnt , Chewy

Great pizza but long wait!

We arrived at 11 a.m. (current opening time of the pizzeria) and waited for about 1 hour until we received our take away order! The quality and the price (5.50€) of the pizza is really great! Definitely worth the long waiting time!
The whole process until you get your order is really unorganized, because there are two waiting line: one for take away and one for a table inside.
Only the persons who intend to get a table inside receive a numbered piece of paper.

Messed up...

Waited for about 50 minutes to get a pizza for takeaway, and only a while later to realize they put a Margherita into my box (where the receipt clearly shows Marinara)... Unfortunately I had no time to get back and complain...

Cons: Messed up the order, Long waiting time

Diese Pizza zu ergattern ist ein Abenteuer 😅

Die Schlange für Take away unendlich lang, Wartezeit auf einen Tisch ca. 2 Stunden. Wir haben uns für take away entschieden, warteten fast 2 Stunden, bekommen nichts, da die Bestellung irgendwie untergegangen ist. Am Ende bekamen wir trotzdem: schmeckt sehr lecker, Teig unglaublich gut und alles zusammen perfekt.

Pros: Pizza sehr lecker , Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und bemüht , Ambiente

Cons: Sehr viel Müll herum, Lange Wartezeit

Great pizza, as expected

It was 5,5 euro for a pizza, which is a great price. In my country, Belgium, you easily pay 12 euro for a normal Margarita. We had the marinara and the margarita and we ate them on the steps just around the corner. There was a long wait if you want to be seated, but take away only took like 20 minutes. The pizza was sliced in four pieces. The taste was delicious, the dough was great, soft and crispy. How a pizza should be. The marinara was my favourite. Pure taste, with basil herbs.

Pros: Very good priced, Delicious and perfect, The wait was ok

Cons: If you want to be seated, it takes some time

Best marinara in the world

Still the best marinara in the world. The dough is spongy, soft and crispy all at the same time. It's wonderful that they have kept the prices so low despite the success.

I got there maybe 14.45 and I think the queue number was 8 and my number was 83. It took about 1,5 hours until it was my turn. I used the time by walking around the Centro Storico quarters, I came back a couple of times to check which number was on display. It was good that I stayed there by the pizzeria when the number was 60 or something because I think they waited that the restaurant was empty and cleaned and too more than 20 people in at once.

Pros: Super good pizza dough

Cons: Long waiting timw
