L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele
What the experts agree on
Naples' legendary minimalist pizzeria serves only margherita and marinara—perfected over decades. Expect queues and boisterous crowds, but the wood-fired pizzas and no-frills atmosphere justify the wait.
“Veteran pizzeria, Da Michele continues to keep things plain and simple: unadorned marble tabletops, brisk service and two types of pizza – margherita or marinara.”
– Lonely Planet
