My wife and I have been sampling pizza places in our vicinity for years and tried Napoii's for the first time last week. We ordered a small pie with spinach, tomato and black olives. We showed up about 10 minutes before it was ready and were given a brief but very educational seminar on how quality pizza is made and a slice of one that had just come out of the oven to prove how effective their techniques are. We immediately loved these guys. And when we got home we immediately loved their pizza. They had not added the black olives, but hadn't charged us for them, either (small pie with 2 toppings 17 bucks). We didn't miss 'em. Not a bit. The quality of the other ingredients was so high and the crust so perfect that who could moan about a few black olives? We called them and told them how much we loved it and "Uncle Joe" just said "thanks for calling" and hung up. You gotta love that! Today we ordered another small pie, this time just with spinach and tomatoes. It was fresh and hot out of the oven when we arrived and they were busy, so we just went to pay and go. We were told "that's 3 toppings so $20." When we said we'd only ordered 2 toppings Uncle Joe said "it needed garlic, so I added the garlic. That's 3 toppings. $20." We laughed about this all the way home, doing our best Uncle Joe impersonations. And you know what? The pie was even better with the garlic! No kidding - the best pie I've ever had. Uncle Joe knows his pizza! Last Sunday we were telling some friends about Napoli's. A mother and daughter who used to do their laundry across the street from there many years ago said "that place? I always thought ti was a crack den or something.". Don't be fooled by its size or appearance. It may be a hole in the wall, but it's a very clean one and one you'll be happy you visited. No crack. Just truly great...

I called Napoli's to ask if they delivered and the most dynamic personality said not at this moment but it was worth the drive. Something told me to trust him so over the mountain I went saying to myself, "this better bevworth it." Long story short, it was more than worth it. This gentleman was a pizza master! He knew everyone that came in or acted like he did while managing multiple orders to perfection. We laughed while he made the pies and calzones to the point you almost hated to leave. In fact, I recommend you ask for the special dipping sauce he blends together right in front of you if you get anything you want a blast of flavor added to. The only regret I have is I didn't order two of those multiple meat pizzas because my friends and I devoured the one we had quickly yet satisfied to the point that we instantly got sleepy and had a great night dreaming of the next time we can get Napoli's. Trust me....
Read moreWhere do I begin. I came here in 2018 after just having moved to the neighborhood from Brooklyn. I was pregnant and starving after a day of moving and it was the only place open at 11pm. We came in. Ordered 2 plain slices. The man at the counter slapped them on top of each other on top of a wax paper and shoved them taco style into a beverage sized bag. I was appalled but so hungry and went into the car to eat. My husband and i have made jokes about this place.for years. Until today, i asked him to give them one more chance.
What do you know. 2 slices. Slapped on wax paper on the payment counter. Shoved taco style into a beverage bag. Inedible. Spit the first bite out. Tried to season the second bite and apologized to my husband saying i couldnt eat this. Let me tell you, I'm a big girl and very rarely turn down food. Please. Get plates and boxes. Or at least 20oz...
