Yelp Review #25 (2026)…read more Visited in June 2026. There are two lines when arriving. There is a to go line that's pretty short, an a dine in ticket line that you receive from the employee by the entrance. If you visit their museum to learn about the history of Antica, then your indoor seating is expedited. After the museum, we sat down and ordered our delicious pizza. They offer four different types of pizza.

Yes, it's a legend. No, it is absolutely not worth it…read more In the touristy area of any Italian city, you know the food is likely to be mediocre and that they're going to rip you off either a little or a lot. That's not just a rule in Naples, it's a hobby. I'm not sure why I ignored my usual skepticism, but I did and I'm sorry. This place rests on the legend that its pizza is somehow magical, as demonstrated by the purity of its insistence on making only four kinds of pie. That's easy to do when 90% of the people who spend money there live in Australia or something, and you're never going to see them again. In other words, who cares about repeat business? The pizza is: undercooked, soggy, and swimming in oil. You've had better. Not in the U.S., but definitely in Italy. The waiters and cashier are grumpy and rude. Hordes of tourists probably make them that way, but if that can't be a minimum of polite in dealing with the public, that's a great reason to find another job. The topper came after I paid my bill. (By the way, the pizza price of €6,50 sounds great, right? But add a bottle of water and the cover charge, and now it's 14€.) In any event, as I turn to leave, the furbo at the register essentially orders me to leave a tip. "It's not on the bill, so you have to leave the tip separately," he says. Now, I know there's no tipping in Italy, and I wouldn't have tipped for THAT service anywhere else on planet Earth. But I was so flabbergasted and embarrassed--he and another employee were literally staring at me to see what I'd do--that I meekly walk back to the table and plop down a 2€ coin. So then it was a 16€ lousy experience. I shouldn't have done it. And you shouldn't be bullied by snippy waiters who serve you crummy pizza. There are more pizzerias in Naples than there are traffic lights. Go find one where they want to earn your business.

Wow! Hands down the best pizza I've ever had! Don't miss the opportunity to order the Provola e…read morePepe. It's incredibly simple, yet absolutely delicious. Every bite practically melts in your mouth, and the fresh, high-quality ingredients come alive from the very first bite. If you're here, this pizza is an absolute must-try! Did I also mention that you cut your pizza with scissors? Yes, that's right! It was the first time I've ever experienced cutting my pizza with scissors, and it made the experience even more unique and memorable!

They're not very good at salad making in Naples, but our bodies desperately needed some vegetable matter. APPETIZER: BRUSCHETTE: with optional buratta ball. The cheese, like all the buratta we ate, had a fresh tangy flavor that gets lost when cheese like this is refrigerated or frozen for shipping overseas. SALAD: GRECA: Lettuce, tomato, onion, feta, olive, EVOO and salt. Not the best salad we've ever had, but we were delighted to find it! PIZZAS: The staff was kind enough to cut our pizzas in thirds, and then put a slice of each on our plates. Tete Illuminati: fior di latte, IGP mortadella, chopped pistachios, pistachio cream, percoring, oil, basil. Patata Cremosa: fior di latte, artisanal potato cream, rolled pancetta; ,post-bake rosemary mayo, basil, EVOO. Salsiccia e friarielli: smoked mountain provola, Neapolitan sausage and friarelli, EVOO, basil.

I know I've written a great review for pizza for a couple other places in Naples, but the pizza…read morehere takes it. In reading the other reviews, there can be long waits here, and I can certainly understand why. Even in a city with so many pizza spots, this one stands out in the very best way. I also wanted to address a misconception. Multiple reviews here mention how the pizza is doughy in the center. Proper Napoli pizza is supposed to be this consistency. It's supposed to be runny and doughy in the middle, so they 100% do that right at this place. Also, it will not be sliced; you are to cut it yourself. We lucked out not having to wait. We went to Gino e Toto Sorbillo (which is supposed to be the original restaurant) and sat in the horseshoe. Our server Francesco was fantastic, giving great recommendations and being friendly and welcoming. We shared the margheritta bufala DOP and diavolla. Both were excellent! I preferred the margheritta whereas my husband preferred the diavolla. I am convinced that you really can't go wrong here though. The pizza dough itself had great elasticity while also having a thin yet light, fluffy, and airy crust. Apparently, they ferment the dough for 48 hours. The difference is striking. The pomodoro Italiano sauce is also so simple yet tasty and well seasoned. For me, the saltiness of the salame in the diavolla overpowered the delicious other flavors of the pizza, but it was still tasty. My husband loved that one though. In my opinion, this place has achieved pizza perfection, and I literally cannot imagine how anyone could make a better or more perfect pizza. Overall, this is a great casual spot, and I would not hesitate to come here during my next visit to Naples...even one hour would be worth the wait.

Good Napoli-style pizza. We visited Gino e Toto Sorbillo on a Wednesday night, and it was busy but…read morethere were tables available. The restaurant has rough cut stone walls and a buzz of conversation. I tried the house red wine and the Salvatore pizza with olives. The house red was decent. My pizza was served piping hot and had a nice flavor when you could get all of the ingredients in one bite. Overall, I would recommend Gino e Toto Sorbillo for pizza in Napoli.
