sg,

Here's one you can try....

This is one of the oldest and apparently the most authentic.

Thank you for your reply! I checked out the restaurant and it looks great!!!

Has anyone tried L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele? It has 6,768 (4 star) reviews on TripAdvisor! Wow!

Try Pizzeria Starita a Materdei, also a historic pizzeria, uphill a few blocks from the Archeology Museum. Also thousands of TA reviews, averaging 4.5. Best bet is to try all of these recommendations, then report back to us! Mangia bene!

One other comment.....

The Neopolitan Pizza will be different than anything you've ever had from Domino's, Pizza Hut or other places here. In order to be an "approved" and authentic pizza, they have very tight regulations on everything from the type of flour used, to the tomatoes, to the cheese.

Buon Appetito!

I like a crisp pie crust. I had a pizza at da Michele and the thing was too limp for my taste. It was delicious, and cheap. Don't expect a choice of toppings. Two choices only. Plain and plainer!

I really liked Sorbillo's on via dei Tribunali. I have not been to the other places. I did get a pizza with some friends at a place on Via Gramsci in the Mergellina neighborhood and it was no where near as good as Sorbillo's. Da Michelle has its popularity from the Julia Robert's movie, although I do hear it is quite good. Either of these places expect a line. July of 2013, whole pizza pie plus a beer 6 euros. YUMMMMM.

Da Michele has been hugely popular for decades, which is probably why it was in the Julia Roberts movie. There are dozens of excellent pizza places in Napoli, those recommended by the previous posters are great.

FYI, there are 77 pizzerias in the US that are certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, as providing authentic Neapolitan pizza. There are two in the Kansas City area, (Il Lazzarone) so I can attest to the difference between them and the US style. I love them, but many people I've taken there are confused and disappointed. They do, however, put ice in their drinks.

Stan is right, there are few pizzas in the US with those high standards.

Settebello (7 locations in UT, CA & NV) is one of those approved Napolitan pizzas, tops in the States in my opinion. And then while in Salerno this last March I tried Pizzeria Trianon, which originated in Naples in 1926. Yes, the 'limp' center, the chewy crust. But the ingredients--bufala mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, high-octane olive oil--that's the difference. Just incredible--the phrase 'bursting with flavor' applies here. I rarely vary from the Margherita pizza--simply those above ingredients and a couple of basil leaves.

I don't know of any Pizza joints in this area that are approved by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, but there is an Italy Deli here that makes excellent, Italian-style pizza (using Italian ingredients) and I find that it's much better than the usual fare at the chain restaurants. The family that operates the Deli are from Calabria and they know how to make good Pizza.

Frank Pepe's in New Haven, CT. Yum.

Think of all the money we can all save by traveling to New Haven instead of Italy! That would sure buy a big bunch of pizzas. Is there a recommended B & B?

Be prepared. Like another poster said, the dough is limp, and people were rolling it like a tortilla. This was at Sorbillos. Personally, I like all sorts of pizza....and many frozen pizzas I've had were better than this.
