Neapolitan pizzeria in Rome · since 1962
Slow dough, wood fire, pizza just like in Naples.
48 hours of rising, ingredients from Campania and an oven that reaches 450 degrees. Sit down with us, or order and we'll bring it to your door.
About us
Three generations, one oven and a sourdough starter from 1962.
In 1962 grandpa Gennaro came to Rome from Naples with a ball of sourdough starter in his suitcase and opened a small bakery on Via dei Fornai: bread in the morning, pizza in the evening. To the neighbourhood he was simply “the Neapolitan”.
Today his grandson Salvatore, who learned the trade between Rome and Naples, is at the counter, and Anna runs the dining room. In 2016 they renovated the place and had a new oven built by a craftsman from Nola, without changing the old idea: do a few things, and do them well.

“Il cornicione più leggero che abbia mangiato a Roma. La marinara è semplicissima e perfetta, e il personale è gentile anche il sabato sera.”

“Prima volta che ordinavamo dal sito: pizza arrivata calda in mezz'ora, e si vedeva in ogni momento a che punto era l'ordine. Torneremo in sala.”

“Best pizza of our trip! The menu in English made ordering easy and the staff recommended the mortadella one. Book ahead at weekends.”
