Excellent Neapolitan pizzas and warm service in a tucked-away alley, with standout tiramisu—though gluten-free pies and surprise charges draw recurring complaints.
Pizzeria EVO 50 delivers excellent Neapolitan dough and balanced sauces with a standout tiramisu that justifies its reputation among Naples pizza enthusiasts. Friendly, knowledgeable service and a charming Centro Storico location create genuine appeal. However, quality variation—soggy bases, inconsistent gluten-free crusts, and occasional billing errors—prevents the higher reliability expected of grade A establishments, making this a solid neighborhood favorite rather than a premier destination.
Down a narrow Centro Storico lane, the room feels warm and cozy without the crush, and staff glide between tables with easy English and genuine charm. A guest summed it up: "the dough had that perfect chew and the sauce just sang." Many call the tiramisu a must-order finish. Hidden-gem vibes come with alley seating that is picturesque but slightly sloped. The cooking leans traditional Neapolitan with thoughtful touches—classic margherita with balanced acidity, montanara doppia cottura, and a popular pistachio pie. It is not showy fusion; instead, it is elevated tradition built on quality ingredients. Most diners find strong value, but inconsistencies appear in gluten-free crusts and the occasional soggy base. A few reports of bill errors and surprise premiums mean it pays to skim your receipt. For families, this is an easy win: simple starters like crocchè and frittatine, familiar pizzas, and a dessert that kids will cheer. There is no explicit kids menu, but plain margherita, mozzarella di bufala, and fries-free antipasti keep younger palates happy. Seating is snug and outdoors is on steps, so strollers may need a fold-and-tuck. Expect €26-40 per adult for a full meal in central Naples.
