Honestly, when coming to Brandi, I was expecting to be hit with expensive or overpriced pizza that was essentially the same as all of the surrounding competitors simply for the prestige of the being the pronounced "first to serve Margherita Pizza". I was wrong! And very happily so. The prices of the pizze we got here were comparable to those from other restaurants nearby, and by that I mean CHEAP. Very generously cheap. But if the price was low, then the quality must be pretty subpar too, right? NOPE, this pizza was quite literally the best Napolitano Margherita I've ever had. Crisp golden crust that flakes on the outside with an airy, fluffy inside. Beautiful tomato sauce, which had a natural sweetness. Perfectly melted mozzarella, not over-cooked or charred. All perfumed with fresh basil that was kissed by the heat. My wife decided to get the Diavola version, and I thought that there was no way some pepperoni-looking salsiccia could belong on this perfect pizza. And then I tried a bite of hers, and was sent up to the stars like fireworks with this pure flavor-bomb. This sausage is what pepperoni wishes it was even on the same planet, in so far as spices and heat. Incredible. My only grievance, even slight, was that my wife and I could tell that the waiter did not like us, and seemed to be avoiding us. I could tell the manager (or owner) was very sweet, genuine, and attentive. He even gave us a little Naples magnet, just because we were visiting. There are plenty of great things in Naples to do, see, and experience. If you appreciate good food, put Brandi at the top of your list.

Pizzeria Brandi was the last stop on our self-guided "only pizza for dinner" tour of Naples. We thought it would be a more crowded destination since it's where the Margherita version of Neopolitan was invented and were prepared for a long wait, but when we arrived (on a Tuesday night in the middle of July) there was no line and we were seated immediately in the upstairs dining area which was comfortable and kind of air conditioned. The restaurant is located not far from the main square of Naples so perhaps most of the pizza-tourist crowd preferred to eat up in the historic center where most of the rest of the pizza spots are. No problem for us! My wife and I shared a Margherita pizza. (of course) which, when they learned we were sharing, brought it to us already split in half on two plates. That's pretty good service for a pizza spot. It felt a little bit more comfortable and upscale than the other places we went for pizza in Naples, but not stuffy or pretentious...just a bit nicer. The service was great. The pizza was pretty good and held up against the other Margheritas we had in town, and the atmosphere was good with families with kids sitting nearby. It felt like, despite the fact that this is where Margherita was invented, we'd stumbled across a local secret. We're glad we did and it was cool having our final pie in Naples where Margherita was invented.

Honest review, I was here twice. Staff is very kind, great service. Pizza is.. well, good. But not that great. And they bake it with the basil on, which means the basil is just a burned ash. It's not that bad, just not good. White wine was good. Pasta is fine, if you like it "audente", though it was a bit too raw for me, but that's personal preference. They give you parmesan in a zip bag.. that's.. weird. I disliked that there is no (free) water by default, being tap water either way. I disliked they have service included yet expect a tip on top of that (not all of them). But the main reason I'm taking stars off is the annoying musicians, that just won't go away no matter what. We thanked them beforehand, waved them goodbye, hoping they would leave but no. They had to ruin our eardrums, and we haven't even gotten our order yet. Couldn't hear my own thoughts. And on top of that, after the 999th hundred "bella chao" I heard today from beggars, they just stood there and wouldn't leave until one of us gave them money. Sorry but that's a total off for me. Didn't invite them, didn't want them, weren't smiling or singing along, actually quite the opposite but still.... Really disappointing. So, my second visit is my last. Bearing this in mind, if I knew these details, I would've expected it and given a better review, probably, so I hope that knowing this you will enjoy the marketing legend of Napoli more than I did. Bon appetit!

Pizzeria Brandi is an absolute must-visit in Naples! The authenticity, history, and quality of their pizza are unmatched. We were so impressed after our first visit that we had to come back to try more – and every bite was just as incredible. The pizzas are made with the freshest ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and that signature Neapolitan crust that’s crispy yet soft. You can truly taste the tradition in every slice. The service was outstanding – warm, welcoming, and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. The prices were fair, and the selection of beverages (wine or tap beer) was good. Beyond the food, the historical charm of Brandi adds to its magic. They’ve maintained their original traditions, creating an atmosphere that transports you back in time while serving some of the best pizzas in the world. If you’re in Naples, don’t miss this legendary spot, but pe prepared for a line because it's so popular.

Big yikes on this one...I was recommended this place by a local and after reading the reviews I was really excited. I of course ordered the margarita and prosciutto with fungi. Took it back to my place to eat with my girlfriend 5 mins away and opened the box to find chewy undercooked dough, watery tomato sauce, most likely canned mushrooms and ham with the entire pizza lacking any flavor whatsoever. I've had better pizza in Seattle. We also had a 10x better pizza by the ferry here in Napoli so I have a general basis on how a neopolitan pizza should taste. The service was great and the people were friendly but I was just really really disappointed with the food quality. Sometimes when you have the name and the historical significance of being a superb place that's all you need for business and quality in turn takes a hit.

The oldest place and also considered as birthplace of pizza in Italy, this restaurant is a good treat when you are in Naples. I got a chance to try authentic pizzas, pastas here and they tasted good. If you are expecting indian taste (spicy and tangy) then you might not like it because it's authentic Italian and not American pizza. People here tend to eat not spicy. Pizzas that I tried were marinara, capricciosa and La Don Gaetano. I tried with all the veg options only. The taste was good. I would recommend to order La Don Gaetano as it's all veg pizza. Next is pasta, I got to try Pasta e Fagioli Con Cozze and Spaghetti del vesuvic. The pasta were good as well. The eggplant parmesan was very good and beyond expectation Overall good atmosphere, and good one try restaurant. Recommended.
