La Vera Pizza Fritta da Gennaro pizzeria Arenaccia — Restaurant in Naples

WOW!!

Very unique Pizza experience here. The fried pizza is so different from any other pizza you find otherwise.

They basically spread out the dough, put the toppings on and then cover it with another piece of dough and then deep fry it in oil. Kind of like a large calzone with a fluffy crispy exterior.

The dough actually looked quite small before being put into the oil but it turned out so large, we were surprised!

Very good value for money as well because it was just €5.5 for quite a large fried pizza contraption.

They offered a traditional but I'm not too much a fan of tomato sauce so I asked for a customized version - Buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, salami. Such a beautiful combination! If not for the amount of oil, I would totally not mind having and dry...

I second most of the reviews here. Positives: Lovely staff/owner. The classic old smiling Italian man. The dough was nice and light and not too chewy Filling was nice, ricotta cheese, basil, tomatoes It's cheap!

Not so positive: If you're sensitive to salt then you might not like it. The dough was a little too salty for my liking and will leave you quite thirsty. I have no idea if any other of the pizza fritta places are the same. My partner was fine with it though.

It's simple Italian street food. I'd recommend asking around for a specific place that uses less salt if one exists! Otherwise,...

Bad experience at this restaurant in Sorrento. It felt like a tourist trap with overpriced dishes and underwhelming food. My friend tried to order a carbonara, but the waiter refused and said, “Carbonara is for Rome,” which felt unnecessary and a bit rude. The menu seemed more focused on appearance than quality, and the overall vibe felt like they were taking advantage of tourists. There are much better places in Sorrento where you’ll get authentic food and friendlier service. Food was fine, nothing you would expect from Italy wouldn’t...
