There are plenty of reviews already singing paeans of this Pizzeria. So, I'll stick to what I experienced there. We arrived exactly in time for dinner with a grumbling stomach and a lot of expectations. We didn't have to walk too far from Dante metro station. A rustic ambience, cobblestone streets and tables arranged neatly outside. There were already quite a lot of people seated but luckily for us, there was one last table still vacant. We plonked our derriere on the chairs and a staff member quickly approached us, brought the menu and changed the table cloth. We decided on Parmigiana with Aubergine(eggplant/brinjal) and a Pizza with Aubergine, Mushrooms and Marinara sauce. It took us approximately 15-20 minutes to get the food. This wait could be longer on weekends or public holidays. The place was chockablock full and yet the people kept coming. By the time our food arrived, I was already salivating and the sight of a hot pizza direct from the oven was tempting all of my senses. To put it mildly and without any exaggeration, this was one of the best pizzas I've ever had, if not the best. The place lived up to its name. The Parmigiana was equally delicious but the portion size was small. So, we also ordered a Zucchini flower filled with Feta, Provolone and Pecorino cheese which was then layered with crispy batter and deep fried. This was a genuine surprise that turned out to be better than my expectations. The staff who served was really friendly and also entertaining. As for the cost, we paid around €29 for two of us, which also included a pint of Malt beer, a bottle of Mineral water and cover charges. All in all, this place is worth every effort and accolades.

As a foreign expat working in the university, my colleague recommends me to give it a go for this ‘worlds very first pizzeria’. So I come to order a takeaway with expectations. However, the whole experience is meh or even worse. Luckily, the girl staff who greeted me at the entrance was very friendly and helpful, and even smiled and said goodbye to me after giving me the pizza box. The old man (no idea if he is the boss) at the counter was very nice as well. They can speak English and I am really grateful for their friendliness. However, the rest is disaster. After I paid at the counter, I didn’t know where to wait and they seemed to allow me stay in the room, so I stood beside a table. Soon, a lot of customers came and would dine inside. I literally didn’t know where to stand, so I moved a little bit inside near the bar and drink area, which no one would be there. Then the disaster came. I suddenly heard a kind of yelling noise from a male waiter, and I thought maybe he was delivering food. But then he began to whistle, and I looked up! He was whistling at me asking me to leave the bar table! (And the funniest thing was nobody told me it was not okay to stand there!) I am not trying to be racism, but this African-looking male waiter is so so rude to ask your customer leave by whistling. I am like ‘who the f are you?’ It is okay to speak normal words to instruct but not whistling. This is more than disrespectful and extremely disgusting. I think you need to give your employees a better education!!! So I asked the old man at the counter if it is okay to be outside to wait. Before the old man could speak, the African-looking waiter answered ‘on behalf of him’ without any hesitation - ‘YES YOU CAN WAIT OUTSIDE’. I was totally speechless by its rudeness. I was like ‘Who are you? Are you the boss???’ But as I said before, the girl staff smiled giving me the pizza eventually, which is really nice. But the disaster hasn’t finished… Because this is the first worst pizza I ever encountered in Naples… What is this?? I cost 10 euro for this ‘yellow tomato pizza’. I was thinking it would be the wonderful and carefully made yellow tomato sauce with the cheese on the pizza baking well. However instead, it’s just tomatoes randomly on the piece. What are these chefs doing???? I mean the last good thing of this place, is perhaps, this place has a decent decoration. I mean, they think they are the first pizza restaurants in the world so they need to save their face right? 😅 Highly suggest avoid this place, or if you really want to try, then try to avoid certain waiters.

I’ve read about the oldest pizzeria in the world in Naples long before a trip to Naples was ever on the horizon for me. I added it to my list of “in case I ever visit this city” bookmarks, which finally came in handy. I made a resso for hubby and I for a Saturday night at 7 pm. I originally made it for 7:45 but we were in the area early, and were able to change it a few hours beforehand. It was still pretty empty at that time since people tend to eat later here. There was a seating fee of $2 per person, which we learned was typical throughout Italy (or at least all of the cities we had visited). We weren’t too hungry so we ordered a fried zucchini flower and the classic margherita. The zucchini flower was way too oily, and the pizza followed suit. I did like the sauce but the pizza wasn’t really anything special overall. The menu was also very overwhelming. There must have been at least 40 different pizzas to choose from and then another 40 different pastas. This doesn’t even include the appetizers or meat dishes. It makes it hard to narrow down, which is what we were having trouble doing. The waiter came to check on us every couple of minutes to order, which seemed kind of rushed. That’s also partly why we just got a margherita, but it worked out because we wanted to try the classic anyway. I would say if you want to come here just to say you’ve tried the oldest pizzeria in the world, then do it. But if you want better and less expensive pizza, then go elsewhere. You are in Naples after all, the birthplace of pizza.

Let me just say, it’s cool and all that they are “the first pizzeria” or whatever. But that doesn’t give them the right to be arrogant. I came here 3 years ago and it was fine, the pizza wasn’t amazing and I loved the pasta. But today I went again, super excited to come back again after all those years, when they told me “you can’t sit outside if you are alone” …..??? I could sit outside 3 years ago why not now? It was not like it’s that busy. Anyway after being send upstairs to a SPECIFIC table for 4 persons (I couldn’t even choose the table) I was weirded out because the outside table is 2 persons table but ok. The waiter was very annoyed and didn’t seem to be happy with me being there. I have the feeling that everyone else upstairs was also thinking that as it was super quiet and awkward sitting there. I ordered a Quattro Formaggi pizza which was super different than the usual 4 cheese pizza (see pic) with different cheeses and the taste to be honest was fine. Definitely not the best but certainly not the worst. At the end I had to pay €2 service charge….. even though I got 0 service😂 I feel scammed of my €2. The thing is that they think they can get away with this because a lot of “famous people” are there and they are the “first pizzeria” blabla just shows their arrogance. I was vlogging all day and I just felt uncomfortable vlogging in there because of them. I’m certainly never coming back to this restaurant.

The pizza was delicious but everything else was like a nightmare. We were hyped to go to the oldest pizzeria in Naples so we went there and we asked for a table outside. One of the servers said to us that we have to wait 20 minutes so we waited in the cold 30 minutes just to be told that we have to eat inside. The option was to eat on the second floor which turned out to be colder than it was outside. The staff overall was very unprofessional and inadequate. We told one of the staff members that we are cold and he said “When you finish your pizza you’ll be warm”. There was an air conditioner as you can see on the picture but it was never turned on. We ordered a bottle of red wine but it never came to us. Although it was included in the receipt. Moreover we ordered four pizzas and they brought us one more, left it on a staff table behind us for about 15 minutes in the cold room and then they served it to another clients. At the end it was also included in our receipt. We ordered Coca-cola which never came, thank God it wasn’t included in the receipt. At the end we talked to one of the waiters and they corrected the receipt. As you can see on the picture the napkins were as old as the restaurant. The toilet was miserable, smelled bad and there was no hot water. Overall it wasn’t worth it at all and it was a bad experience.

I was walking down a street that appeared to be ancient. My significant other and I stopped abruptly and discovered this gem. We stepped inside and were seated immediately. It was cozy. The menu stated that there was a Servizio incluso for Coperto 2,00. In English, it was Service included for Cover Charge 2,00. From the Bar section, I ordered a Whisky for € 5,00. Our server told me it was Jack Daniel’s, which was perfect. From the Pizze section, I went with the Pizza Marinara for € 6,00. It was Pizza w tomato, garlic, oregano. The Whisky was smooth. I enjoyed it. The Pizza Marinara was bigger than I expected. It had a distinct look and I was ready to try it. The first bite was incredible. The ingredients were simple, yet came together to form a phenomenal flavor. Every bite I had was delicious. Oddly, I wanted more. From the Pizze section, I went with the Pizza Marinara con Funghi for € 8,00. It was Pizza w tomato, oregano, garlic, mushrooms. It came out fast and it was just as phenomenal as the other one. It was a good move to get another item. The service was great. It was fast and our server was friendly. Overall, it was worth the visit. I was blown away by everything I consumed. Date of visit: 23/03/25
