A must try if you like Napoletana style pie. The location is in a bustling party of Fullerton, with a lot of things to do. I went on a weekday night, so the wait time was immediate. I have been when there has been a long wait, and you can always grab a drink nearby while you wait. The location is a proud supporter of Napoli FC, and while I root for another Club, its wonderful to see the influence the club has on the location. The atmosphere is vibrant, with patrons enjoying their food and chatting away. The food itself is wonderful. The crust was perfectly burnt to my liking, and the toppings on top were savory without a lot of cheese/sauce. My partner obtained a vegetarian style, and while the cheese was a little much, she forked and knifed the pizza to her satisfactory taste. They procure a wonderful seasonal menu as well. Will visit again!
I've never been to Naples. But this is exactly what I imagine the pizza there to be. The dough was soft yet crispy. The flavors were amazing. Toppings were a bit eccentric, but not in a nose up way. Ambiance was nice but comfortable. Not your basic pizza parlor style, but if you're looking for a true pizza experience. This is it.
Excellent experience! Pizza was very authentic, and the crust was perfect. The dessert- Spumoni Bomba- was SO GOOD. It's Neopolitan Gelato (chocolate/pistachio/cherry?) covered in a dark chocolate coating the shape/size of a large orange. The flavors were so bold. Wow. Definitely coming back. Service and atmosphere were excellent.
I walked in and ordered a pizza to go. I ordered the margherita pizza and added hot honey with pepperoni. I asked the person that took my order where I should wait and if I could sit at the bar, she said yes and would let me know when the pizza was ready. I would preface by saying that the place wasn’t busy. They only had a few tables occupied and a couple at the bar top. I waited about 30-40 minutes and asked the bartender how much longer my pizza would take. He went to the kitchen and came back with my pizza. The pizza was cold and the cheese wasn’t even melted anymore. The cooks looked caught up because they were cleaning and pouring themselves soda from behind the bar.all of the waiters were congregated gossiping on the side of the bar. My pizza had been sitting there for God knows how long. When I told the bartender that the pizza wasn’t even hot anymore he said “well even when I order it fresh, I like to take it home, heat my oven to 400degrees and cook it a little longer” I honestly was getting off of a 12hr work day and the last thing I wanted to do was cook or fix a pizza. They didn’t offer to remake it or to heat it again in the oven. I took the pizza home and when I pulled the slices, I found that the dough was rolled so thin that the slices looked like someone took a bite out of a few of the pieces in the middle (obviously they weren’t bitten). The pizza was extremely soggy and I had to air fry the pizza to remelt the cheese. Below are photos of the $30 pizza I received. Pizza was not worth money and the service was worse. Will not be going back. Save your money and make yourself Digiorno.
Neat spot! You can enter from the front or back! lol. We had a large group and we ordered 7 pizzas for 9 people and it was definitely overkill haha. We were full at 5 but got two more because people wanted to try other ones. Unfortunately I did not do the ordering so I’m not even sure what we all ate lol. 🍕 All the pizzas were pretty good!!! There wasn’t one that I didn’t like. The chicken pesto one was great. They have a lot of unique combinations of toppings lol. They are all pretty thin. The pizza is kind of expensive though 💸. But neat spot!!!
