Antica Pizza Fritta da Zia Esterina Sorbillo

Simple, nice eat it while walking and standing… its very hot… and delicious…. Take one full pizza and you might order another one 🥰❤️ i took one to go and still it tasted amazing when it was cold ❤️

If you want to eat the classical Napoletan pizza fritta, this is the place you must come to. We had the classic (just tomato and cheese) for 4.90 EUR. It didn't have much sauce though which was a bit disappointing. I'm not gonna lie: it's just a fried pizza, so it is nothing mind blowing. It's good of course (how can a fried pizza taste bad?), but it wasn't that special. It works as a snack to share in two since it's quite heavy for just one person in my opinion.

You haven’t truly experienced Naples until you’ve eaten something that could both feed a family and double as a weighted blanket. Enter: Zia Esterina’s Pizza Fritta—a deep-fried calzone sent straight from the carb gods to challenge your digestive system and your self-control. Picture this: pizza dough lovingly stuffed with ricotta, provola, salami, and sauce, then yeeted into a vat of hot oil until it comes out golden, puffed, and smelling like regret and dreams. You’re handed this glorious food pillow in wax paper while your brain goes, “Yes. This. Is. It.” Biting into it is like being slapped in the face by a delicious cloud. A hot, cheesy, deep-fried cloud. It’s messy. It’s melty. It’s one wrong grip away from total shirt destruction. But you won’t care. Because this thing tastes like Naples shouting directly into your mouth. Now, let’s be honest—it’s a heavy boy. Don’t plan on doing anything productive afterwards. You eat one of these and your only goal for the next two hours is to find shade and rethink your life choices. Final verdict: An experience? Yes. A meal? Also yes. Will you feel full? For three days. Will you go back? Probably not… but only because you physically can’t move. 10/10, would get fried again.

This is antique fried pizza, much like, to me, a big fried empanada with lots of cheese and a little meat. It is made by hand and cooked as you order. It will be given to you fresh from the frying pan. The place is small and most of the time there is a line and you have to wait for a while for your order. For me, it is worth the wait. You have to taste a different way of “pizza” preparation and the end result is surprisingly delicious. The generous amount of cheese melts in your mouth and the dough, although fried, is very soft. When you are visiting Naples, Italy, I recommend trying this fried pizza.

Excellent fried pizza from this takeaway in Naples. The price was very reasonable at 4.90 Euro for the basic version. We shared one between four people and it was enough for a good snack. It tasted great, even if all of the filling inside ended up in one end of the pizza. Just be careful when you eat it as it comes out of the frier very, very hot.

It was nice. Nothing much to say. If you want to try pizza fritta you have to visit this place specifically, when you’re in Naples.

Truly an authentic Napolitan Experience! The folded fried pizza was amazing! Freshly made as you order and you can watch them make it through the Glass window. Sorbillo brand is a Legend in Naples so its a must visit place.

Outside you can already see people eating Italian street food: pizza fritta. This is a cozy vibe. When you walk in you can actually see how they freshly prepare them, which is a nice experience. I had the pizza fritta completa Ai Cicoli, which was recommended by the seller. This contains ricotta, provola, salsa di pomodoro and pepe nero macinto. As it was freshly prepared, it's hot! It tastes like fried dough with some cheese and tomato sauce. I did like it, but it would be more tasty if they put in some other Italian cheese, such as mozzarella. The service was fast and friendly. All in all a good lunch.

It is really good really fresh, you have to eat right away. I forgot what we ordered but I am sure all of them are fresh and delicious, and they are so affordable. Highly highly recommend!

Another TikTok discovery! The deep-fried pizza is a must-try at least once for its uniqueness. We ordered the cheese and salami but would likely stick to just cheese if we're ever back in Naples. It was hot and delicious, though we're not entirely sure it's worth the wait.

Stopped in Naples for our cruise; a person from the port leather bag store suggested this was something you didn't get in the states; So delicious; No longer at 11:15; By noon line was 10 people long; Not fancy, hole in the wall but a really great idea of regular people Italian food

Well had to try it since there was like out the store and people waiting for the food. Fried folded pizza pocket basically. Had mine with ham cheese and tomato sauce.. This is like I'm drunk and I'm hungry late night food. It's not bad and it's pretty cheap. Just be prewarned fried to order so it is hot hot hot. If I wanted quick bite and I was near by I would eat it again.. But I wouldn't walk my way to eat it.

I'm all about that street food and local eateries during my travels, and this place is DEFINITELY a local spot. The menu on their wall has no English, so basically, you're just doing your best to make out the ingredients and order your fried pizza. I saw lines out of the store every time I'd pass by, and all are locals. The flavor was not as good as I had expected. It's kind of like a fried calzone, or it it actually meant to be a fried calzone? It was OK for me, and I wouldn't necessarily go back running for more.

Basically a fried calzone. You definitely have to let it sit for a bit. If you eat it right away, it falls apart and makes a mess. Ate half of it, and couldnt finish it. Priced very well.

This was such a quick stop that we encountered on our exploration of Naples and it was so goood! It was basically fried bread with some cheese, meat, and sauce so basically a fried calzone! Service was fast and quick and they understood me even though I don't speak Italian.

This place was good! Fried pizza for about $4; what could go wrong? The pizza itself was delicious, and the area was super cool: it was a little touristy, and the line was long, but service was fast and my pizza came out very hot! Walked across the street to meet some friends at a bar, where they also served fried pizza, albeit for free with the purchase of a drink. Needless to say, I finished my pizza here, ordered a beer across the street for a dollar, and got more fried pizza. Try it!

While good, not sure if I would make a return trip. Undoubtedly, big value, lots of ham & cheese, tastes more like brie than the good cheddar or mozzarella. A suped-up calzone. But awfully oily. Hey, I know I'm allowed to spoil myself on vacation but really was overkill. Just a takeout place, with a few bar tables to lean on.

Super angry man cuts people off and gives bad pizza. I came to complain I got food poisoning from there pizza and he didn't care. Said they are CLOSED!!! Avoid this place... (next door is the best pizza). This place was very rude and should be shut down.

Fried pizza? You bet. And it's goood. They do things right in Italy, and pizza is like the golden goose there. Tasty, fast and cheap. My three favorite things. A must try in Naples.

Because of the mouthgasm that the original Sorbillo gave me multiple times on my trip to Naples, I couldn't refuse a stop at any place that bore the name. The pizza fritta here was quite delicious, which is saying something considering the special pizza both days I ate there was ham and ricotta, and I am not a huge fan of ham nor ricotta. I love that they have HD monitors showing the chef make your pizza - it is a lot of fun to watch. Grab a park bench or step nearby to chow down on your fried creation - it won't take long to consume the whole thing.

Food was good but the service made us laugh. We had our change thrown at us by the cashier which was different but part of the charm of the bustling locals favourite for a quick bite.

Oily and heart choking. Think panzerotti Milan is far better. But again at 3.50 it is street food and fills the tummy. Not good but ok.

First, why did I give it four stars? Well, if you have not tried the pizza fritta, we would probably call it a deep fried Calzone, this place was the bomb! Its worth the stroll down Via Toledo to get there and if you want a quick, very tasty, cheap meal, this stuff is deliciosio!!! You can watch it being made right there, grab one, go back out into the street and keep moving. It's simple and delicious and it won't break the bank. Its a good snack while your discovering Naples. Go try it!

After eating many slices of margarita pizza I had to try this place. I had a hot folded yummy meal (filled with cheese and ham) all within a few minutes. My only wish is that we had a location back home I could visit.
