There are two kinds of people out there. Those who would go out of their way for a good slice of pizza and those who don't know any better!
On the surface, Taste of Naples is your simple no-frills pizza place. 90% of the unit is the kitchen, with only a few tables for dine-in customers. There is a TV on the wall and the pizza options are written in florecent markers next to the cash register.
This restaraunt doesn't try to be all thigns to all people. You won't find chicken wings, french fries or garlic bread on the menu. At Taste of Naples, they make pizza and panzerotti and they make both well.
Gerri is the owner is a one-man show. He makes the pizza, takes the orders and serves the customers. When he has a moment, he will grab an acusic guitar and do a 30 second number of his own composition. He has a good singing voice and his music enjoyable.
We ordered a three topping pizza with different toppigns on each half. The crust is exactlly what it needs to be. It is thin and soft with just a little bit of crisp around the edges. The ingredients are all fresh (including the oregano).
We loved our experience and will gladly go out of our way for...
Read moreI had a craving for pizza so of course I went online to see what was considered the best pizza near Vaughan and Toronto area. With so many options, I was hoping the reviews were genuine, and hit the jackpot.... thanks to the other food fanatics. The owner was there and it was a half hour before closing, and I was lucky to watch and hear Jerry’s creative ways with his “art”. Unique, creative, awesome and just WOW! Without a wood burning oven, he pulls off the unbelievable just like the best in Naples. Excellent fresh ingredients like the Italian pizza I’ve had in Naples and Modena in Italy. Homemade sauce, premium cheese and the crust I can’t even figure out. No frills, and a plain white pizza box with nothing printed on it. Next time I’m in from Pennsylvania, I will be back. Btw your oven looks just like the Really old one at the classic place in New York that was my favorite pizza in North America. Who would of thought the best is in...
Read moreWhat can I say about this place other than the pizza is simply amazing! It's family owned and the service is top notched which makes you feel welcomed. This pizzeria is more of a take out place but does promote their $2 Margherita slice of pizza to quick take out guests. The only negative I have about this place is that they should have definitely marketed more because they deserve more foot traffic!
Now on to the pizza, it has a different textured pizza dough that you're used to that gives it a different feel to it. We got the $20 16" pizza that came with 5 toppings. Topped it off with bacon, ham, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and pineapple.
One advice if you were to order a pizza here during rush hour times would be to just call in advanced with a set time expectancy to allow them to cook it fresh! Definitely worth the wait and would...
