Can you get a taxi from outside Herculaneum to the Museum of Archeology in Naples?

My family (4 of us) will be visiting Herculaneum and will need to take a taxi to the Museum of Archeology in Naples. Can you get a taxi outside the entry gate at Herculaneum? Any tips or recommendations for taxi companies (or Uber?)? would be incredibly helpful.

Also, any suggestions for lunch - pizza in Herculaneum or in Naples near the museum? We're not looking for anything fancy at all.
Thanks so much!

The Herculaneum is a popular place so I am sure it will have a lot of taxi traffic. You will need to find the taxi stand because you cannot hail a cab on the street.

We just took the train back into Naples and walked to the Archeology Museum, it isn't far. Is there a reason it needs to be a taxi?

One of us has some knee issues and we'll be walking a lot at Herculaneum and in general on the vacation so we're trying to minimize the stress since we're in Italy for 9 days and have lots to see and explore. But we'll get a taxi outside the gate - since taxi stands are available - and take it from there. Thanks for your advice!

It's a 15 minute uphill walk, with an implied train latency of average 1/2 the 30 minute service interval. Ticket purchase from unknown newsstand possibly needed. Heat and sun. Good use of taxi money.
