Some of the best pizzas we experienced in all of Naples! The dough was really light, the produce was super fresh, and it was a fun experience to eat the pizza on the outside patio and watch the hustle and bustle of Napoli fly by. Also, the pizzas run about 9-10 Euros, so the price was right! Definitely recommended if you're in the area and looking to satisfy your pizza craving!
Great pizza. Airy, light. Crazy, but tokyo has them beat. this lacked the ingredient perfection, and the cook on the pizza. the bread had great flavor though. also, the 50 kalo pizza is famous, but i wouldnt get it again. essentially, vegeterian pizza. oh, but each pizza is 10 dollars which is so good.
If you have before or after, it was really nice walking through the park and asking the water. 50 Kalo isn't really close by Napoli Céntrale, the bus also doesn't have a/c, but I think it's worth the trip. We got there around 7PM on Monday and there was plenty of seating, but as the night progressed it started filling up and it was pretty crowded in the front when we left.. I thinking The pizza actually reminded me of some of the Neapolitan pizzas in the US. Very chewy crust and a little wet, not in bad way. It is on the pricier end for Napoli pizza apparently. I quite enjoyed my pizza, it was pretty heavy on the cream, so if you are lactose intolerant, definitely take the lactaid. I do wish there was a bit more greens on mine. Overall the food was pretty good and there was a quite a line when we were leaving. We had ordered a glass of wine - 9€, 2 pizzas (15€ & 13€) and a sparking water 2.5 or 3€.
My husband and I walked 30 minutes to get here while staying in Naples and it was so worth the walk! We took the scenic route and the views on the way were beautiful! When we arrived, there was a line outside before they opened, which we were nervous about, but we were seated right away! The wine was perfect, and the pizza we ordered came out quickly! It was a delicious, traditional, Neapolitan pizza, with a fluffy crust and a thin middle. A classic Italian pizza that I would highly recommend traveling for. We sat by the road and were able to people watch and enjoy our pizza together.
Came here after hearing so many good things, and it was indeed a very good experience, albeit not quite 5 star quality. Frittatina di bucatini (€2.50) - This little ball of fried pasta was a unique dish, at least for me, which I enjoyed. It was fried on the outside yet still soft and creamy on the inside. Ripieno fritto classico (€9.50) - This was essentially a fried calzone, and it was gigantic! It literally barely fit on the place, although upon closer examination, there was actually a lot of air inside. Still, it was a very large portion size. It was pretty tasty too with some typical calzone ingredients. The restaurant has lots of seating both outside and inside, and I did not have any wait for a table for weekday dinner. It's a pretty nice environment and the staff are very friendly and attentive (there are lots of them walking around checking on people). The service speed was fast too. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience at 50 Kalo and would recommend it, particularly to anyone interested in the fried/normal pizzas (there are lots of options to choose from).
This was one of the best pizzas I've had in my entire life! Am I another American tourist who has bad taste? Maybe. But pizza is my favorite food so I live and die by it, and this one is worth dying for. I've never had a pizza that made me feel things in my soul like this one. The buffalo mozzarella was so creamy that it was almost like a sauce and the spicy pepperoni had the most beautiful kick. There is pizza on every corner in Italy, especially in Napoli. But this is the place you MUST visit no matter what!
First Pizza in Napoli. The good here is definitely an expression of the city: vibrant and tasty. The service is amicable bit can get lost and forgetful when it gets busy (don't we all). We sat al fresco and got to watch the world wiz by on foot, in cars and on scooters. This place definitely lives up to the online remarks and local recommendations!
Worth the hype! After getting this recommended from so many people, we knew we had to stop by. Yes you have to put your name down and wait but honestly the time flew by. You're just a part of the Naples energy at that point. The pizzas themselves are so freakin good! The crust is exactly what you're looking for in a solid Neapolitan style pizza. I had the Potato and Provola which was like a mashed potato sauce with smoked Mozzarella. It's for sure one to try. If you're in Naples, get a Taxi and go here!
At #7 world and #4 of the best Neapolitan pizza in Italy, 50K is consistently solid pizza. The quality is top notch, service is quick, and there is not a pizza on the menu that can't meet your desire to come back and keep trying more. You want burrata, they have; salami, they have; or just plain Margherita. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the interior is nice but not so fancy. Everyone is welcome. They don't take reservations as many reviewers point out, so recommend going as soon as they open or closing time. Otherwise, put your name on the list and enjoy the scooters passing by. It is indeed worth it.
The service here is absolutely awful. From start to finish it was rude, cold and inattentive. There's a wait here always because they claim not to take reservations. Yet somehow, only certain people are able to sit inside. If it's first come, first serve then it will be possible for anyone to sit outside or inside. The hostess in charge of the wait yelled at us for even asking to sit inside. We waited for 30 min. A few people came and didn't even have to wait. They just went right inside. Strange for a place that doesn't take reservations. Seems like they favor locals and their friends. Most importantly! The pizza is not good or remarkable enough to make up for the service. I thought maybe it'll all be worth it for the pizza. But it's very basic Neapolitan pizza. You can find it in every city in Italy. No need to waste one's time and come here. No clue why on earth it's so popular. Better pizza is easy to find. The sauce was bland and lacking. Crust was typical. Bufala was thick and chewy.
The pizza I ate at 50 Kalo was definitely in the top 5 pizzas I've ever had. Delicious dough, flavored products, professional and friendly staff. My party of 8 went on a Monday evening and didn't have to wait at all. The pizza was fantastic, but the pistachio cheesecake was out of this world. I would call it more like a cream pie, but it was still so amazing. Everyone should absolutely try the pizza and desserts here!
This place is rated as a top pizza joint in all of Naples. They have a lively outdoor patio and very nice indoor seating. The service is great and quick. The food is remarkable. Easily the best pizza I've ever had in my life!

4/5 - Really good pizza! I was expecting the best thing ever from the hype... it was really good but just not the best pizza I've EVER had! read more
There's pizza, and there's pizza in Napoli. As a native New Yorker, I'm blessed to have grow up with solid pizza but the pizza I had at 50 Kalo took me to a place I hadn't been before. I visited 50 Kalo twice and I'm more than OK with it being the only pizza I tried in Napoli because every crumb was divine. The dough is tasty and provides a foundation for a perfect pizza constructed from quality ingredients. Everything from the cheese to the basil was fresh and that was what made every bite superb. There's a wide variety of options to cater to any taste so you should be able to navigate the menu to find something that hits the spot. I personally loved the margherita con bufala, which was simple but perfect in terms of texture and taste. The service here was great and the team was very welcoming and quick to make sure I was accommodated whenever I needed something. The place is busy and full of energy and for what you get, the prices are surprisingly very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit! read more

We looked hard for the best pizza in Napoli! This was a difficult task as there are so many pizzerias. All the guides seemed to indicate that 50 Kalo was one of the best and it sure did not disappoint. The line is long outside but after about 30 minutes we were seated outside. You don't come here for the ambiance as there is none but to savour one of the best Neapolitan pizza you will ever have. We took the classic margarita which came exactly like it should: as chewy crust a little soggy in the middle because of the tomato sauce and olive oil and elevated on the side.The spicy sausage one had a little tangy flavor that was so good! We definitely would come back if we ever make it again to Naples read more
Classic Neopolitan pizza made with the best ingredients and they are well known for their super hydrated dough and long fermentation. Some of the the best Neopolitian pizza ever. Very nice location in a roundabout, great service - they have this down! We shared the margherita, one with salami and squash blossoms and one with sardines and tomato sauce. ALL fantastic. If you LOVE Neopolitan pizza don't miss this place! read more

Found this gem while searching for best pizza in Naples. We arrived at 6p, but they do not open until 6:30p so we had to wait outside until the opening time. A line started forming right at 6:30p. They fill up quick. We sat inside since it's so hot in Naples in July, but they had a nice spacious patio for outdoor seating. The pizza is 10/10!! We ordered the Baba for dessert since we wanted to try something new -- wasn't a big fan of it (5/10). It's basically a piece of bread soaked into sugar and liquor (possibly). Next time would go with the tiramisu for dessert. Overall, great experience. read more

I have come to this establishment for a few years now (excluding Covid). Stayed in Naples specifically to come eat here. I am currently sitting at the restaurant. Was the first in line at 5:50PM (2 people) excited for our dinner. Sat down in a room of 11 people, 9 of which have already finished their meal. It is currently 7:17PM and just got our pizzas. Sad experience this evening:-/ read more

As a third generation Pizzaiolo, Ciro Salvo is best known for his super-hydrated dough, and at 50 Kalò an exceptionally light Crust without much char is married to exceptional ingredients for a Pizza that has not only been named Naples best, but also the best in all of Europe (outside Italy) for its London incarnation. Originally opened in February 2014, and challenging convention at that time by attempting to transform Pizza from a humble dish into something gourmet, 50 Kalò resides in Napoli's Mergellina district, and outside tourist-central Salvo's skill can frequently be found without the extensive queue common at da Michele or Sorbillo. Taking a scientific look at his Dough, low Protein, high hydration and staged fermentation creating the pronounced cornicione around a center less sloppy than "traditional" Neapolitan Pies, it is seated amidst modern confines that guests are offered a variety of choices, Beer and Natural Wines occupying a whole separate menu. Called the World's 3rd best by 50 Top Pizza, a meticulous approach to Ingredient sourcing detailed across Fritti and Pizza, it was after considerable debate that a Fried Pie was selected to start, 50 Kalò's slow-cooked Sugo a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity that is nicely complimented by a snow-like dusting of aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Utilizing Olive Oil from Irpinia Hills, plus the same Eggs featured at Michelin 2 and 3 star Restaurants in Rome, it was once all four of the Montanara's delicate slices were consumed that two uncut-Pizzas arrived, the eponymous 50 Kalò a Cheese-less lesson in top-quality Produce while Finta Carbonara recreated the iconic Pasta's flavor profile atop a hint of Yeast and smoke. read more

This place is one of the best pizza restaurants in the world for a reason! It is well worth the wait but get there at 545 or after 9 if you don't want to wait too long for a table. Don't miss this spot when in Naples we have been recommended it to anyone we know traveling to Naples. I have never had a better pizza! read more

Quick & friendly service. Amazing pizza. Great beer. Pizza with 'nduja & a blonde beer anytime!! read more
Wow the pizza here is absolutely delicious. According to them pizza had started in Napoli about 300 years ago and they have perfected their art. The pizza here is very different that the pizza in the US. The crust is extremely thin and soggy and a medium size pizza is like a 5-6 bites. We ordered there famous margarita pizza which was fresh mozzarella, sauce and crust. What makes their pizza good is the fresh ingredients and you can smell the natural smell of how the ingredients should be. We also got the fried pizza, stuffed pizza with ricotta and tomato sauce which was fried. Again very thin but the quality of ingredients non gmo and smells fresh. Great customer service, would come back here for sure. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for 2 years. Coming from the NY area, we have some of the best pizza in the the US but it doesn't even come close to 50 Kalo. I met a couple while waiting for a bus at 2am in Positano, Italy that spoke English and we chatted for a bit and he recommended that I have to go to this neighborhood called Mergellina in Naples. Needless to say, we took his advice and got on a local bus (what a nightmare) to get to Mergellina. When we arrived, my gf was hangry so I decided to find a place that was really good. I went on Google maps and found this to be the closest pizzeria. Little did I know, this was voted as one of the best pizzerias in Naples. The crowd outside the place was absolutely nuts. We knew we stumbled upon a gem of a restaurant when during the weekday there was an hour wait and nobody spoke a lick of English. I ordered the Margherita (€7.50) and my gf ordered the marinara (€5) and we both ordered a few glasses of wine. OMG did the Buffalo Margherita blow my mind. It was the best pizza I have ever tasted in my life. The dough was perfectly cooked, having both soft and chewy parts and burnt and crispy parts, the sauce was unbelievable and the buffalo mozzarella was the freshest, best tasting cheese I've ever had. Such simple ingredients came together to make a masterpiece. I would hop on a 10 hour flight and go back to Naples just to have this pizza again. Mind you, we had pizza almost everyday we stayed in Naples and it didn't even come close to this place. If you are ever in Naples, grab an Uber and route it to 50 Kalo! read more

Great pizza spot in the city of pizza!!! We were there a couple of weeks ago, and it was pretty packed. I can't imagine coming here during tourist season. We had to try the OG margherita pizza and also got another one with prosciutto. It was very flavorful and the right amount of soft and crispy. They had a nice wine and beer selection from all over Italy. Will definitely return if we're ever back in Naples. read more
