Top-tier Neapolitan-style pies from a tiny, friendly, mostly takeaway pizzeria; exceptional crust and warm hospitality with limited seating and occasional delivery hiccups.
I. M. T.
Tucked on a quiet Westerpark side street, this tiny pizzeria feels warm and welcoming, run by Italians who remember faces and favorites. Reviewers rave about a crust that is airy yet crisp and a tomato sauce that tastes straight from Campania. One guest summed it up: "It felt like eating in Naples," and the owners’ kindness makes quick takeout feel like a visit to family. The cooking is proudly traditional—Neapolitan pies with careful proofing, balanced toppings, and a few homey oven-baked pastas available by preorder. Expect classic Southern Italian flavors rather than culinary fireworks; the thrill comes from technique and ingredients, not novelty. Delivery through apps can lag on busy weekends, but pickup is quick and the pizza travels well with a brief reheat. Families will find it accessible: simple pizzas, a small-sized pie option, and mild choices like Margherita or 4 Formaggi suit younger palates. Seating is very limited, so plan on takeaway if you are arriving with kids; tiramisu is a gentle, crowd-pleasing finish.
