Off the beaten path but you know they're doing something right since 1901 when there's a line outside and it's packed inside and we were probably the only non-Italian customers. Service was amazing very friendly people. And the best part of it, Domino's pizza is way more expensive in the US . Got the Montanara Starita which the pie is Double cooked by first frying the base and then baked in the oven, seasoned with Neapolitan meat sauce, smoked provola, Pecorino Romano DOP, basil.....Mama Mia!! Also got the Romana which is Tomato puree, fiordilatte from Campania, anchovies in oil, Gaeta olives, basil....delicioso. And to top off our meal..we ordered the Little Angels fried which are born from a recipe from Don Antonio's mother, who loved to eat these small cylindrical pieces of fried pizza dough sprinkled with sugar. They are ideal both as an appetizer, accompanied by fresh tomato and arugula, and as a dessert, garnished with Nutella or pistachio cream. Be careful though, because they can be addictive!!

I haven't eaten tomatoes this good on a pizza before, they felt super authentic and local The crust wasn't as airy as another place I've been, but it was still quite soft and pleasurable to eat. The bottom of the crust, though, was unparalleled. It was so unbelievably soft, and didn't even feel like you were eating pizza. A lot of the pizza I've eaten in the past has included this hard bottom curst that's noticeable, but this bottom crust just floated through each bite like butter. Holding up a slice was so floppy The cheese was also fantastic - I do wish there was slightly more of it - but it was still amazingly good I tried a bit of a vegan pizza that someone at my table ordered - and my god that was astoundingly good - even better than the margherita I had. If I was here again I would definitely order the pizza that had white sauce rather than tomato sauce - because even though the tomatoes were really good, I think I just prefer the alfredo-style sauce on pizza.

Multiplie locations exist, six in Naples, three on the same street! At first I wondered if it was a "Ray's Pizza" situation* though turns out they are all legitimately related, arising from the success of the pizzeria opened in by Gino Sorbillo. Aside from Naples they have locations in several other Italian cities (Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Turin, Bologna, Padua, and Genoa), even a location on Tokyo. This specific location where the pin is dropped on the Yelp map is for Gino e Tito Sorbillo, eponymously named for the now famous pizza chef and his brother, and the nicer sit-down version of the restaurant.** This is the original shop where it all began, and the business' historical headquarters. Outside, you'll see a couple paper cutouts of the chef, with a chef's coat and a smile. The unwavering popularity of their pizza is undeniable--one look at the crowds outside this storefront and it's immediately apparent. Be prepared as the wait is not for the faint-hearted or the extremely hungry. Luckily I had a snack before arriving (see separate review for Sfogliatelle Mary). 9:05pm: I arrived to a semi-circular crowd centered around the doorway of Gino e Tito Sorbillo. Headed up the hostess stand and she said 20-25 minutes so I figured why not. 9:30pm: the crowd around the door seems to have increased, at least stayed the same, a handful of parties were called up. I realize now that the hostess gives everyone the same estimate. Watching many parties that were there when I arrived--they are still waiting too. 9:50pm: I'm considering leaving at this point since there's significant second-hand smoke from multiple people smoking outside, though the crowd of people in front of the restaurant is going strong. 10:00pm: I go up to the stand and ask how much longer the wait will be, she says "oh you're a single diner right? I forgot, let me check." 10:05pm: she calls my name and ushers me inside. I'm seated at bar table seating at a window which works for me. Staff is quick to pass a menu, and take an order. 10:20pm the wait for the pizza after ordering was faster than expected. It only took about 7-8 minutes. Getting to the pizza--if you look up the definition of a Neapolitan style pizza, this is it! Served straight outta the oven as an entire pie, extremely thin, saucy in the middle, floppy base though evenly leopard-spotted on the bottom and the crust, pillowy and airy crust with a slightly crisp exterior. The tomato sauce was very fresh, and I loved the varying texture of the dough, great baked/slightly charred flavor. I got the Antonio which included regionally sourced cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, basil. While I love both ingredients, the fish and capers together unfortunately were way too salty, I had to pick off some of these. Also I have to say as the pizza cooled, the room temp saucy dough wasn't quite as appealing as when it was hot. lol so if you consume it quickly it'll be fine! The serving size was also very generous, see pic with my hand next to the pie, I couldn't finish it in the end! Staff was quite friendly overall and I appreciated that they didn't pack the house or rush diners inside even with so many people waiting. That being said it was still pretty busy so you'll have to flag them down. After the meal, bring your bill up to the register to pay. *if you're familiar with NYC you'll know there are about 20 different Ray's Pizzas all claiming to be the original, which one is real? no one knows... **The other two locations on the same street are more casual, one is a takeout spot probably to handle the overflow from the main restaurant.

They also gave a generous amount of parmesan on the side. I also tried the fresh lemonade, which was very lemony and slightly fizzy for additional refreshment. The place is somewhat small inside but I was able to get a table without any wait. The kitchen is right next to the seating area, so it's kind of cool to see the cooks right there. Overall, Tandem is a great place for pasta dishes with very friendly service.

You can't see it, but they have another hall inside, you can reach it by passing directly through the kitchen! [I recall somebody was creating hygiene regulamentation laws in 1980 in Italy... well maybe I'm wrong.. still it's cool!] First delusion is coming with the menu: if you are telling me you are one of the few places producing the real pizza and bla bla bla [boring italian proudly talking about food] how come you have on the menu more than 15 types of pizza? Pizza should come in two versions, margherita or marinara, nothing else. So... what happens? yeah ok business is business but still.. I hate saying something and doing the opposite! Anyway, to the important stuff: it's pizza time! Ordering a margherita you'll receive a round, not much big, soft dough. Tomato, mozzarella, basil, everything seems just perfect. And actually it is! very soft, with a good baked border, no liquids around the plate but no crunchy dried parts, simply perfect! There is not that much to say, it really is one of the best pizza you can actually have in the world. The 4 stars are just coming from the menu: yes, I am that picky, if you was not so boring in telling me that you have the REAL, the AUTHENTIC and blablabla pizza I'd enjoy giving to you the 4 stars... but that's what you obtain when you are really annoying!

As soon as you enter you notice the contrast between the modern design and the tuff cave that hosts the restaurant, and despite being very technological with a TV screen next to each table (with remote to select your favorite show or even USB port to play a presentation during a work lunch) the flavors you're going to taste are very local and traditional. In fact, besides all the typical Neapolitan dishes and pizzas, Alba offers a selection of "gourmet pizzas", made with local biological ingredients selected to enjoy the real taste of Campania. We had two different kinds of pizza margherita: the Corbarì (with local red cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella) and the Pomo d'Oro (with local yellow tomatoes and mozzarella. Both tasted delicious, but I may suggest to try the yellow tomatoes as you won't find them easily elsewhere. Together with these pizzas we enjoyed a tasty weiss double malt beer with a slightly fruity flavor, recommended by the waiters as the best fit for the food we were having.
