Gute

Ich habe mir sehr wenig von einer Marinara erwartet. Dennoch war das ne Überraschung. Für 5 Euro gabs eine Maxi Pizza, welche perfekt gewürzt und zubereitet war. Der Teig war perfekt.

Pros: Günstig , Eine der besten Pizzen in meinem Leben

Cons: wenig Auswahl aber is egal. Denn die Marinara wird

YUM

Omg was not expecting the pizza to be that tasty!!! Highly recommend going here and experiencing one of the oldest pizza places in Naples! Was very busy when we went but it seemed you could go straight in and order take away and it only ended up taking about 5 minutes. Eating in is nothing special but go in and watch them pump out 10 pizzas a minute! The marinara pizza is vegan, margarita is vegetarian - these are the only pizzas they make. Cheap prices!

Pros: SO TASTY

Cons: Bust to eat in

big disappointment

Been there some time ago.
I might have been unlucky, but it has been a big disappointment.
The pizza was nothing special.
Definitely not worth the wait and all the buzz about that place.

Pros: price

Cons: waiting time, disappointing pizza

Best pizza in Italy

This is truly the best pizza in Italy, maybe the world! They only have two types-one with cheese and one without! Definitely visit this place!

Pros: Pizza, Quick service

Cons: Long queues sometimes but worth it

delicious traditional pizza

Delicious pizza in a simple setting. They have been making it like this for about 130 years. €6 for a large pizza and a beer.

Pros: tasty, cheap

Amazing pizza!

This place is a vegetarian restaurant, although only really by circumstance, as it only offers two types of pizza - with cheese or without (Margherita or Marinara). So no hassles over trying to understand the menu! We ordered one of each - we both preferred the Marinara, although the Margherita is pretty damned good too! I would recommend a visit to this place if you are visiting Naples - it is frequented by locals and is just great to go there. The staff don't speak much English, but it isn't hard to let them know what you want! You wont be there long - there is a queue to get in and you pretty much have to leave as soon as you are finished your meal!

Pros: Wonderful pizza!, No hassles over the menu!, Fast service - once you get in.

Cons: Have to queue outside. Take a number.

Worth to visit one or few times

Of course I was curious to visit Pizzeria da Michele after reading how special history it has. Pizza was really good and big one was really big sized (big-medium-small options). Why so cheap than 6-7$ with a beer? They just said they doesn't need more profits.
With a drink they gave plastic cup... Staff was OK, not really friendly. They hurried people to go out too quickly. Reason was "waiting list." When coming to Pizzeria da Michele, you will see lot of people in front of it. You gotta go inside and ask waiting number. We were waiting 70 minutes in normal weekday to get in.

I liked lot of pizzeria next to this, Trianon founded 1923: http://www.lucianopignataro.com/articolo.php?pl=4569
Staff was there really friendly and place was overall nice.

Pros: Good value, Original atmosphere

Cons: Noisy, Too compact

The Best Pizza in the World

The same family has been making pizza since 1870. Need I say more? This is the original pizza. They only offer two kinds. One with cheese and one without. A pizza with a beverage (soda or beer) is about $6 USD.

This is a bare bones simple old fashioned place that the locals line-up for. It is nothing fancy but that it part of the charm besides the most delicious pizza ever. If you get here early I've never had to wait, but, service is usually rapid and well worth any wait.

There are two other pizza places a few minutes walk away. Both are almost as old, good food , more spacious, comfortable seating and offer a larger menu and more topping choices. They also both offer plenty of dead animal flesh. Also, I dont think anyones pizza is as good as Micheles'.

My favorite place in Naples and the best pizza in the world.

Pros: Delicious, Traditional , Inexpensive

Cons: None

Listed as vegetarian, but I am no sure that the cheese used is free of meat-based rennet--did not get answer from the management. Does anyone know?
