Ciao Masaki Pizza Napoletana — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

Interesting pizza (more details below). Fast preparation (20-ish minutes). No delivery, only dine-in and pickup.

Go in the evening. All the seating is outdoor, so you’ll be cooked by the sun if you plan to eat here before 4-5PM.

The menu is a little confusing. A lot of the ingredients seem to be in what looks like Italian (mascarpone, mozzarella fior di latte, salsiccia Napoli piccante, etc.) so you’ll need to ask them to explain what those are.

The pizzas have a very, very thin base. Like, 1cm thin and all toppings. So you’ll have to curl a slice into a roll (the crust is thick and chewy) to eat without making too much of a mess. There’s no way to pick up a slice with it holding its shape.

No idea how it compares to “original” Napoletana pizza, so it’s up to you to decide. But I enjoyed my meal.

There is limited parking. About 5 spots before you have to park on the streets. Gets busy in the evenings so expect...

Proper pizzas. Authentic taste.

Only snag is missing toppings on some items.

We ordered pIzza nduja which advertised hot sausage as a topping. We didn't see any such topping on our pizza. Asked the staff, and they said the sausage is minced and put on the pizza, didn't sound like a proper answer.

Would be great to get a proper nduja on the house.

The management have responded saying the sausage was spread on the pizza. I must admit we didn't taste the sausage too much, hence though it was missing. Other than that, absolutely love the pizzas.

Perhaps adding some fresh chilli or some some chilli flakes into the olive oil side sauces would be a nice addition for spicy...

Recently tried the new Napoli Pizzeria in Dar es Salaam, and it did not disappoint! I ordered two pizzas: the first, topped with fresh ham, arugula, and cherry tomatoes, had a wonderful balance of savory and fresh flavors, perfectly complementing the wood-fired crust. The second pizza, featuring spicy pepperoni and black olives, was equally delicious, with a rich and tangy tomato sauce base. Both pizzas had a beautifully charred, crispy crust that added to the authentic Neapolitan experience. Highly recommend for all...
