Here's the thing: I don't even know that I had a real pizza until I had the pizza here. Like that's pretty much as dramatic as I normally I am but let me just tell you that I am telling the truth. This is most definitely the best pizza I've had in my life thus far. Exploring around Napoli today, there were a lot of choices of places to go for pizza (of course, in the home of the modern pizza) but we ended up most closely located to Sorbillo and chose this as our place. We arrived about 10-15 minutes before they opened on a Saturday and were amazed to find a pretty lengthy line already outside. A good sign though, of course and we were lucky enough to get in right when they opened the doors! As a group of 5, we ordered 3 pizzas: the margheritta (obvious choice), the margheritta bufala d.o.p (recommended by the waiter), and the nonna carolina. All were amazing. My favorite was the nonna carolina, personally, but really all stole the show. I've never been a huge fan of thin crust in the past, but now I can see its value. The flavors were perfect, and you could literally taste the freshness of the ingredients. The crust also was perfect, it was just the right amount of doughiness (idk the right word? but I think you get what I mean. Overall, having pizza here left me very content for the rest of the day and leaving happy but not feeling weighed down by the food at all - it was absolutely perfect. I think it helped that we didn't have to wait at all because the queue seems like a nightmare so there's that but man I WOULD RECOMMEND and I would definitely return. read more

My husband and I were in Naples while on a cruise (November 12, 2013) and I had my list of pizza places to choose from. We came upon Sorbillo right when I was ready for lunch. There were probably 10 people standing outside waiting for their tables. I walked in to reserve a table and was told "5 minutes." Sure enough, we were called promptly and were told to go to the upstairs level. The entire restaurant was packed!! That's a good sign, especially when I saw mostly, if not all, Italians. The place is nothing fancy, but who cares. It's the pizza that matters. And service wasn't the most friendliest but as I stated, it was the pizza that mattered. The staff moved quickly to serve everyone, problably to get them in and out quickly to fill the tables again. Tony had a beer (3.30 euros), and we had a Margherita pizza, just 3.30 euros!! Wow, the pizza was fantastic! Thin, with a cripsy edge and a softer center with the right amount of red sauce. The cheese wasn't buffala di mozzarella but a good mozzarella indeed. It could have used a little more basil, but the flavor was there. It was one of our cheapest and most satisfying lunches on our trip. When we left, the place was still packed and there must have been 28-30 people outside patiently waiting their turn to dine in Sorbillo. Great choice for lunch in Napoli! read more

Very good pizza in a cool spot. This isnt the original joint but this one is near the water in a great location. Pizza was great, mozzarella and tomato perfect. Great bottle of wine. Perfect casual meal! read more

Very crowded but the Pizza is more than excellent. The place is not huge but is in the typical Neapolitan style. I have been there dozens of times, never been disappointed. Our waiter, Maurizio, is a wonderful, smart, professional, friendly and fun guy! We tried all the Pizzas on the menu': the variety is satisfying. Prices are way more than honest. The location is in the heart of historical Napoli. Lovely to take a walk and enjoy this picturesque area. But Sorbillo is a must. If you want to enjoy the Neapolitan Pizza, you have to stop by. read more

It was primary reason I went to Naples. Best pizza yet. Does not disappoint. Worth the wait. Get there early and the wait is not bad. Get there late, suck it up. Staff is really nice to considering the crowds are crazy. They have service down to a science. read more

We waited about 30 minutes for lunch, and it was so worth it! The pizza was perfection on a plate. I had the Margheritta Bufala DOP, and my husband had the Diavolla. Both were exceptional - by far the best pizza we've had in Naples! read more

Simply amazing. I came to Napoli only for pizza and wasn't disappointed. I got the Margheritta Bufala D.O.P. to be on the safe side because I couldn't understand the rest of the menu, but it seemed to be most popular. I like how they tell you exactly where a lot of the ingredients are from, as part of the 'Slow Food' movement in Italy. I highly recommend and it's worth the wait. read more

I was in Naples for one night with my brother and we decided to try the place out. Not sure why, but the guy at the door kept pushing us back and never called our name. We ended up waiting over an hour and a half (!) and a 2 person party who arrived after us was called. I went to the doorman to ask if they called us already and he said we were next... he then called another two person party. We split after that. Kinda ruined the night. There are a lot of locals there, don't know if they are discriminating against tourists. But I could not have been more polite when dealing with the door man. read more

If you are in Naples, even for a day, you must go to Ginos! By far the best food i had in Italy. Do not be intimidated by the lines. The wait is only 5-10 minutes if you get it to go. If you want the sit-in ambiance it will be longer. Go for the Diavula if you like a little spice. Also, remember you are in Italy so dont be upset if they are being Italian. Side note. Buy some water or soda from the sweet old italian lady selling it from a hole in the wall next door! read more

Amazing pizza from Naples!!! The dessert was small but soo goooood!!! I would recommend getting there prior to 7:30pm because we had about hour wait but well worth it!!! Parking is challenging but we had plenty to choose from when we arrived. By the time we left at 10:30 , there was no parking and the line to get into the restaurant was HUGE. read more

Sorbillo lived up to the hype. I'm a fan of Neopolitan style pizza, and my brief pizza tasting tour of Naples gave me some of the best! As we were walking down via Tribunali around 6:40 p.m., I saw a line queueing outside of Sorbillo. At that point, about 30 people were in line. Knowing I wanted to try Sorbillo, I did a quick check to find out that it opened at 7:00 p.m. With only a 20 minute wait, I jumped in line, still thinking that I probably wouldn't get seated within the first round. Wow, was I wrong. The place is deceptively large, and it's run like a well oiled machine. Not only were we sat right at 7:00 (along with MANY others - probably 100+), we also had our orders taken, drinks delivered and saw pizzas on nearby tables within 3 minutes of sitting down. It was amazing. Since I still wanted to eat at another place or two that night, I didn't belabor the choices or try to make it a relaxed meal. The two servers who were working the front room were friendly, spoke English, gave good recommendations, and were incredibly efficient. We ordered two pizzas. The DIAVOLLA had spicy pepperoni and the NONNA CAROLINA was pesto based. Both were insanely delicious. The pesto was our hands down favorite, as it was a little different than the usual Margherita and other red pizzas we'd had in Italy. The crust is pillowy and soft, but still with a bit of crisp to it. The middle is thin and gets soggy quickly. I tried to order all pizzas without oil drizzled on top as that adds to the soggy factor, but it's almost impossible to convey. Pizzas ranged from 4 Euros to about 9 Euros each. The interior is actually quite nice for the price you're paying. But don't expect ambience. The tables are packed in so tightly that the wait staff can't walk between them. And there are people lined up outside, hungrily watching your every move and wishing you'd hurry up and leave so they can get in. Don't come here for a nice relaxing meal. Come for delicious and really really affordable pizza. Get in and out, and you will not be disappointed. read more

Pizza is great but service not so much. Servers really don't care about providing good service. Problem is when a place gets so popular the staff doesn't care about you bc they have plenty of people waiting outside for them. By the time we got inside we were told to go upstairs and then we just waiting until1 of the 3 servers up there made eye contact to tell us where to go which took another 5 minutes just standing in middle of restaurant. I didn't see one smile from anyone that worked there. They are a just a pizza making machine at this point. I gave them a 4 bc the pizza is good and that is what I went for but wouldn't go back bc the service is just so poor. read more

unbelievably rude--targeted at Americans specifically. food is good. but would otherwise recommend avoiding. there's lots of excellent pizza in Naples. why put yourself in a situation where you wait for hours to get a tables, and the the waitstaff ignore you for another 30 minutes. and then they bring the next table's food (Italians) seated and order after we did, while you continue to wait. also got "shouted" out when asked if a particular pizza has an ingredient in it. (it did; and the menu had not listed it). read more

Don't know how this place got so many stars. Driving into Napoli ONLY for this pizza felt, at the time, like the worst decision of my adulthood. Wet pizza and beyond-horrid service. I will never be back--ne tuo crap ristorante, ne Napoli perché di tu. read more

This pizza is bomb! I got the margherita and the Marisa. Both were delicious and definitely worth the trip from sorrento. A little tip though, don't wait in the long lines. Get the pizza to go (it'll be ready in 10 minutes) , walk to the nearby square by the station, grab a beer and people watch while you enjoy your pizza on a bench. read more

During my time in Italy, we had many pizza's to try and im gonna give my honest opinion about Sorbillo. It was a very popular place and we waited in line for a good 45min at least to get in. It was sprinkling rain and we thought it must be really good for this many people to be standing in the rain to get in to eat this pizza. I love pizza! I am a pizza connoisseur and I was expecting legendary pizza being that Naples is the birthplace of pizza. We ordered the two most popular ones according to Yelp and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it was a bad night or maybe thats just how they make their pizza, but the tomato sauce was super sour and salty. It wasnt just mine but my wifes pizza too, The Margherita with Buffalo mozzarella. We ended up taking the rest back to the hotel with us and it tasted better cold than it did than when we were in the restaurant. I hate leaving negative reviews but I have to be honest and truthful. I had at least 5 pizzas during our Italy leg of our honeymoon and the ones in Florence tasted better to me. I'm not a hater but everyone has different taste buds. Maybe they like their sauce extra sour and salty in Naples? If that is truly how it is everyday, and everyone is saying how amazing their pizza was, then you need to travel more lol read more

We walked for about 15 minutes or so and made it for their first seating. There was already a line outside but we were luckily able to get a table. I noticed here that their pizza dough balls had large bubbles in the middle. I haven't seen that before anywhere and was curious what their purpose might be. We just got one pizza to share. While this pizza was good, we liked da Michele better. The crust was a bit thicker here and pie a bit smaller. read more about our Naples food tour on my site read more

Excellent pizza! Be prepared to wait... wait.. wait.. it's a bit disorganized outside, people were busting at the seams blocking the busy street, an accident waiting to happen. Things move quickly inside so take a look at menu while you wait so you can be ready to order. read more

Our hotel recommended we walked over to Sorbillo for the "best pizza in Naples." We walked over shortly before noon and it was packed so we put our name down on the list with the woman at the door and waited about 20 minutes before we were sat. People were saying that later you go, you can wait for hours- that's crazy! Wait that long however and that's enough time to look over the menu and know what you want. It's pretty hard to get a hold of your waiter so when he comes over be sure to know what you want because they are not the most patient or friendly and when they come to your table, they're gone before you blink. So service is pretty bad or would otherwise bump my rating up to excellent. One thing that grossed me out: we asked a waiter for a to go box and he picked up the pizza with his BARE HANDS and threw it in the box. I'd hope his hands were clean but EW, kind of gross. Needless to say, we did not eat the pizza because of this. Our party of seven ordered 7 pies because we wanted to try a bunch. Definitely go for the traditional pizza margherita infamous for originating in Naples and go for the DOGC certified ingredients. Mozzerella di Bufala is delicious and so good. We also had the prosciutto and arugula topped pizza and the pizza with spicy peppers (Naples loves their spicy). Excellent pizza but the traditional pizza margherita with mozzarella di bufala was my favorite! If you are not familiar with Naples pizza, know that it's a flat crust and the center is pretty doughy/wet and if you add mozzarella di bufala, pizza will be even more wet. If this is not your preference you probably won't see what all the buzz is about. We enjoyed tasting pizza in different regions in Italy and thought the pizza at Sorbillo was so good that we ate it up before any camera came out to take a picture. Good spot for some cheap eats! read more

After having pizza in Naples it's tough to find a decent pie at home. Even boston's North End can't compare. Sorbillo's has a place in Milan and recently opened in Manhattan ( considerably pricier than the €7-10 in Italy). The restaurant is busy and there's a large crowd waiting outside for a table. Turnover is quick though and a table for two was approx a 15 minute wait. This was a Monday evening at approx 8:30 and even then, the restaurant was packed. Service is fast, efficient, and tables turn over fairly quickly. This isn't a place to linger after a leisurely meal. The pizza is good, not great. It was very thin in the middle and a bit soggy for my taste. La Brace do Pinta Anna Maria is located across the street from the train station and their margherita pizza was decadent and divine. Sorbillo is a cult figure in Naples and there's a colorful backstory regarding the history of the restaurant and family. They're a long line of pizza makers , endured a mafioso shake down, and make sure you're served read more

The mob out in front of the restaurant tells a lot. Most are waiting for a table inside the restaurant so make your way to the front and put your name in or order takeout from the cashier's desk. Took 25 minutes to get a takeout order of 2 pizzas at ordered at 2:15pm. Pizzas were both superb and very reasonably priced. Would like to get in line early to get a table inside next time I am in Naples. Highly recommend going and waiting in the line for the "best Neapolitan pizza in the world". read more

Fantastic pizza for less than 10 Euro You must swim through a throng of Itallian teens to put your name on the list. 15 minutes later you find yourself in a dark room confronted with an Italian language test. Dont worry all of the pizzas are giant and delicious. Fresh topings, house recipe sauce, and multi cheese toppings crown these giant dough disks. Come hungry and eat well. These pizzas are fit for the king of NYC ( Bill de Blasio), so says the newspaper on the wall. read more

Went to this place yesterday and was looking forward to great food and good service. The flavors of the pizza are delicious but the service was horrible. I asked where the bathroom was and all I got was "Downstairs" and an annoyed look from the waiter. I found out that the bathroom was in the basement and not just downstairs. When I got back from taking my 3 year old to the bathroom the waiter asked if we were ready to order, in which I asked to give me 5 mins to look over the menu. At the same time I tried to ask for some water but this waiter took off and didn't look back at all. On top of the rude service we received dirty plates and utensils. I had to look for another waiter to ask for clean plates and knives, which we didn't get. Overall, I will NEVER come back to this place. Rude service and dirty plates = Terrible experience. read more

A MUST-STOP for all visitors of Napoli and all lovers of pizza. We dined here late evening around 9:30 pm, and while it appears there are long lines outside, go straight inside and have your name added. We waited about 45 minutes and were seated at the bar. By the rave reviews on yelp, we were very excited to try this place out. I got the pesto pizza "Nonna Carolina" and my husband went for the classic Margherita. There was no secret behind it - the pizzas were phenomenal because of the perfection of the simple ingredients that define pizza. No decadent flavors or stuffed crusts, just pure simplicity. Fresh tangy tomato sauce, perfectly melted cheese, with a delightfully soft crust are all the ingredients Sorbillo's needs to make magic. read more

When in Naples, you have to try the best pizza in Italy right? Every Italian that we talked to said to come here. We weren't even going to let my wife's cold get in the way. So we ended up getting take out. It's located smack dab in the center of the old city center. We arrived at 7:30 and the restaurant was half full already. The host sent me up to the cashier and I promptly put in my order for the ariadne (mushroom ) and a margherita speciale. The pizzas came out about 15 min later. Unfortunately, I had to walk back to my hotel which took 20 min so by that time the pizzas were room temperature. But they were still so good!! The cheese was amazing; sauce was great and the crust was tender. If it had been hot, it probably would have been that much more amazing. So my reco would be to arrive before 8 when it get super crowded and get a nice hot pizza. read more

GO. NOW. Long wait during the rush, and can be hard to hear your name so you really have to listen. But pizza in the states is now completely ruined for us. Nothing better, and that's not an exaggeration. It is phenomenal. read more

I do not hesitate to say that this is the world's best pizza. Go simple (margherita, bufala, funghi, alici, or at most salsiccia) and go DOP when you can! You simply cannot beat pizza made from the finest local ingredients with the family's superior and skilled preparation and cooking that they continue to pass on. I highly recommend eating traditional style with fork and knife so you can savor every bite. Neapolitan dough runs thin and not easy to pick up without dropping something so that will also help. PROTIP- you do not have to wait in line to order takeaway pizza, simply walk through the crowd and go to the counter, pay, and receive pizza in 5 minutes while the rest wait 45-90 mins for tables, return to apartment or hotel and enjoy the hell out of that pizza I've had all of the pizza types I mentioned above between two separate multi-day visits to Naples and they are all phenomenal. Margherita con bufala is the best in my opinion, with alici coming in at a close second. I've never dined inside, just picked up pizza and I highly recommend it. They will also deliver if you're close (person walks to your door with a metal pizza container slung over the shoulder). read more

It might be one of the greatest pizza I ever had. Don't expect a fancy place, it mostly work as a fast food. Given the prices (from 4.5 to € 6), there's nothing to be surprised. Pizzas are mostly composed of local products (tomato, fior di latte, basil, ricotta...) which quite reflects the "cuisine" from Campania region. Also, pizzas are quite huge so you'd better pick a "simple" one, with no extra ingredient. It's packed with tourists and yet, the Italian spirit prevails. This is a must-go if you come to Naples! read more
