L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele

We went there around 6:45PM & it was not busy at all. We ordered the original Margherita pizza which had fresh ingredients and a unique flavour. We really liked it but it may not be for everyone, especially North American visitors. There is nothing to compare it to. The pizza is huge, and at just €6, you can’t beat that. TIP: The €6 price applies only to takeout. Dinning in adds a €2 seating charge and once they know you are a visitor, the server may follow you to the till where they will ask you for a tip, something we don’t experience elsewhere in Naples. Caution: There are similarly named pizzerias close by as well so double check before ordering. Overall, definitely worth the experience!

Famous for its appearance in Eat, Pray, Love, this spot has been serving up some of the best Neapolitan pizza since 1870. The menu is refreshingly simple: just Margherita and Marinara, made with good quality ingredients and baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Expect long lines, as both tourists and locals flock here daily. Da Michele is a must-visit.

The pizza is really good but it is too big and kind of hard to finish it actually, even though I think I eat too much. They are using wood fire and that makes the pizza have its unique flavor on the dough, that's something I liked. On the other hand it is too big and juicy so it was kind of hard to eat but still very tasty. I always saw it has queue infront of the restaurant but we were lucky we did not wait for any queue. After we finished our meals we saw a new queue waiting to get in. I really liked the experience, the atmosphere service etc. but one time is enough for me, I would not choose to eat that kind of pizza again because personally I used to eat different kinds of pizza. The taste of pizza is still great.

Before coming to Napoli I read opinions about da Michele which said that the pizza was overrated. Do not believe these opinions. This was one of the best pizzas I had in Napoli and in my life in general. Although not the best we had in the city, top 3 for sure. My recommendation to avoid crowds, visit the restaurant at lunch time 12-12:30.

fantastic. worth the hype. the dough was thin and chewy. we could taste the freshness of the tomato sauce. the servers were very friendly and patient. each big pizza cost €6 we reached around 5pm so there was no queue. there’s a lot of seating. there’s the original outlet and a newer one they added, we sat at the original outlet (it’s more busy as well), the atmosphere was immaculate

We went today after a recommendation from our UK friends. The online reviews are great too! We had a Marita and a Margarita. Personally I prefer some sort of my meat on a pizza but can’t knock it for that. Pizza felt more like a crepe, very very thin base and wasn’t particularly flavoursome. My wife described it as ‘wet’ as the base fell apart as was so thin with the cheese on top. Glad I tried it though for the hype! Also very cheap if want to try it. I would recommend going for lunch rather than dinner as its very quick service wise (cattle service), not the sort of place you sit with the family or partner for a chat or an enjoyable evening out. There are 2 parts on opposite sides of the road. One is take away and the other is seated.

Get a ticket when you get here. Lots of people waiting. But goes very fast. Had 20 people ahead of us but we're sat within 15min. Once seated your pizza comes in less then 5 min after order. Fast & delicious.

It was hands down the most delicious pizza I’ve ever had. It really lives up to the hype. We barely had to wait in line, as we went around 3 PM on a Wednesday. However, the person managing the line was a bit tense. When I asked if the take-away and dine-in lines were the same, he snapped at me, saying 'Can’t you see it’s crowded inside?' even though I was just trying to make sure I was in the right line, as the signs indicated the take-away line. He didn’t really get what I meant and was quite rude. The Margherita pizza was around 6.5 euros, I think. Keep in mind that there’s an extra charge at the register, something like a cover charge, and they asked for tips 3 or 4 times, which was a little annoying. The bathrooms were incredibly dirty, it was impossible to step inside. Despite all that, I can’t complain about the pizza, it was absolutely amazing!

Amazing and cheap Neopolitan pizza! My favorite would have to be the Margherita over the Marinara. For 6 euros, you have a massive thin crust pizza. Come early because they get busy! As you may know, it has been popularized by Julia Roberts' Eat Pray Love hence its notoriety. I was in Naples for a tour of the Amalfi Coast and our tour guide said it's just a hype and not the best there is. However, I have nothing to compare it to. All I can vouch for is that it tastes superb for the price, and not a tourist trap at all. Plenty of seating because they have another building if the other fills up. You can also have the pizzas to go :)

Ambiance: it's one of the most popular pizza restaurants in Naples, and I think it's overrated and not worth the waiting, and the basement seating is hot and humid Service: they have lines for walk-ins and takeout, make sure you stand in the right one, for dine-in experience, you have to grab a number first, and wait for your number being called, and either for assigned seating in the original store or the newer one across the street, the waitress was very disorganized and inefficient to place the order Food & Drink: very simple menu for pizza, few options for drinks MARGHERITA - *** pomodoro, fior di latte, olio, basilico tomato, fior di latte cheese, oil, basil, soggy and undercooked MARINARA - **** pomodoro, origano, aglio, olio tomato, oregano, garlic, oil, recommend COSACCA - *** pomodoro, pecorino, olio, basilico tomato, pecorino cheese, oil, basil, average MARITA - *** half Margherita and half Marinara PERONI - *** bottled beer Price: very cheap prices, and generous portions, expect around €10 per person

The Neapolitan pizza purists are gonna come after me for this but... I have to say, I think this place is a bit overrated, although I know it is a classic in Naples. First of all, there is usually a pretty lengthly wait because of the popularity. The way it works is you get there and a guy will give you a ticket number and you wait outside until your number is called. Luckily (or unluckily) for me, it was raining when I went, so although I had to wait in the rain, the wait was only about 15 min. After getting in, I was excited to see what the hype was about. I then found out that the menu literally only has 4 pizza options... I guess they really keep things simple here. I ended up getting the cosacca pizza, which is a classic Neapolitan pizza with a tomato base with pecorino cheese and basil on top. To be completely honest, it wasn't bad at all, but it also wasn't particularly great. I mean, it was just a bit... plain. Also, I felt like there wasn't actually that much cheese on there. The interior has very casual vibes and the service speed is fast (likely because of the limited menu). The staff are okay friendliness. Overall, if you want to come and try for the sake of trying this famous establishment, then I can't fault you. But I just want to ensure that your expectations are set properly - expect a wait and don't expect anything fancy or particularly amazing.

Since we are in Naples, we had to check out this restaurant because it was featured in my sister's favorite movie. Service was quick even though there was a line. They had a take a number system that seemed to work. We waited about 20 minutes to eat in. The takeaway line was much longer. Pizza was very tasty. There are no options for meat on the pizza. If you like wet pizza dough, then it's a place for you. I love thin crust pizza, but it was too soggy for me.

Full disclosure: like any sane person that values their time - being forced to wait in a line to a 'trendy' spot - whether it's the Limelight (where my NYC club kids at?!) back in the 90's or at some 'hip' bakery for a thing called a 'cronut' that debuted over a decade ago... it's going to make me a bit cranky. But the Mrs. mentioned "the best pizza in Naples!" so we strolled over here to find... lines. (As in - more than one.) We went to the longer one (takeaway) and... waited. (Those that say the lines move quickly are fibbing, just a heads up.) 45+ minutes (easily) just to place an order another 30+ to finally receive our food... sun going down, the lunatics driving up and down the street (which is a one-way, mind you) in front, could it ever be worth the hype? (Nope.) Poorly cut. Messy as all heck. Barely even hot. And what should count the most - the taste of the actual pizza - was just sorely lacking. No napkins provided (European thing, I know). Bottles of soda aren't twist-off (so you can attempt to open it using the curb or lip of a garbage can - which we witnessed, or you need to venture back to the restaurant to ask to use their opener). Trust me - each and every infraction really hits when you have famished teenagers with zero patience. If this is really the best this (overpopulated) city has to offer... I'm not that bummed we were only in Naples for two days. (And the residents here wouldn't even know how to handle truly spectacular pizza - like Razza in Jersey City in NJ.)

World famous and arguably the best pizza in the world but it didn't live up to such lofty expectations for me. The wait can be long and for those going the first time if you want to eat inside you go to the front and ask for the number, the line on the side is for take out. Also if you want to do take out you can actually do pickup or get it delivered you can use a local food app which I did the first time and got the food in 20 minutes and much faster than those in line waiting. Nostalgia and history 5/5 Price 5/5 Taste 3.5/5 The pizza was good but I found the cheese quite chewy which is not something I have found with classic margarita pizzas, the cheese is usually soft. The sauce and the dough were good but overall I really wasn't wowed by this pizza, maybe my expectations were too high, maybe they have gotten so busy that they changed the recipe a bit? They let you do half and half which lets you try with cheese and without. I do think it's still worth a visit if you are in Napoli but it may not end up being the best pizza you ever had or have so maybe come in with more balanced expectations but it's an overall worthwhile experience. I also went twice to rule out that it might have just been a bad day and the food was consistent.

Naples is known as the birthplace of pizza. While Da Michele is not the oldest pizzeria around here, it certainly is the most popular. We landed in Naples that evening and made our way to the pizzeria for our first meal in Italy. It was a Friday night at around 9:10 and there was a massive crowd outside of the restaurant. Most of the people crowding around were waiting for their table, or for a takeaway order. If you want a table, you just need to head straight inside to get a number. Unfortunately, they were done with tables for the night (even though they close at 11), so we ended up hopping on the takeaway line. We waited about 40 minutes to order and another 20 minutes to get our food. Takeaway says it's open until 11:30 but I noticed they stopped accepting orders at 10, so maybe they ran out of ingredients. So if you have your heart set on trying this place, make sure you go earlier. We went with the classic margherita and at €5.50, you really can't go wrong. We ate it standing outside of the restaurant, which I recommend, as opposed to taking it back to your hotel because it comes out piping hot from the brick oven, and you definitely want to eat it while it's hot and fresh. The ingredients tasted fresh/high quality and the pizza was great, but was it worth an hour wait? I don't think so. I'm sure there are plenty of great Neapolitan pizza spots in Naples where you won't have to wait so long. I'm glad I got to try it but if I were to visit Naples again, the only way I'd visit Da Michele again is if there was no wait.

Undoubtedly the best pizza I've ever eaten!!! First things first, the guy at the entrance who controls the crowd is my guy!!! Listen, Napoli folks are misunderstood. Many friends told me, "they're rude", "they're mean" and other things, but after seeing them in person I completely disagree. So back to guy. The guy stands in the front. People walk up to him and just stare and then he yells at them "eat here or takeaway?" Then the person says something other than those two words and starts asking a question, then he retorts, "eat here or takeaway?" It's a simple question. Once you tell him one of the choices, he gives you number or directs you to the takeaway line. It's pretty simple. That's why I think it's important to watch and observe before you go embarrass yourself. Hahaha. Anyway, after we got our number called to eat in, we got our table and ordered from the easy to order menu which consists of three choices. The OG Margherita and the other two. We only came for the OG. It was magical! It was as good as the big mouthed actress, and hooker actor Julia Roberts describes in Eat, Pray, Love. The location is in a small street area that gets super packed with people which results in cars honking for you to get out of the way, but nevertheless the location is special. While you wait, there will be people from other restaurants that will try to get you to eat their pizza and while it might be good, it's not this locations good. Definitely must have while in Napoli.

Miracles happen. Let them happen. Why look a gift horse in the mouth? A worthy experience. I thought I'd have to wait longer. Great amazing food. Super classic. Sitting next to the oven feel the heat of nostalgia wash over you like the virtue that you always are.

Wanted to try this place out because it was recommended by many people. Waited about an hour for 2 pizzas: Margherita and Marinara. Hoping the wait was worth the hype and you guessed it... It was not... The margherita pizza was ok, but nothing special. The Marinara pizza was awful... it tasted like weed and did not appreciate how charred the crust was. Was definitely over charred. There are definitely better pizza places near by. Not worth the wait or hype.

Definitely the best pizza I had in Naples, the prices were super cheap for great thin pizza. They also just opened more spacing for seating next door. The service was excellent and the waiter was super friendly.

I changed my mind on thin crust pizza after eating here. I don't get how they make the dough so thin! This was hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The tomato sauce was rich, the cheese tasted so fresh, and I didn't feel unhealthily full after eating! The flavor literally lives in my head rent free and I really want to get it again. There is a long wait though; after all, it's recommended on the Michelin app as well. I think it's worth it though! The servers are also very kind to tourists. Overall, I would love to go back again; the pizza is definitely a must-have when visiting Naples!!

The pizza was amazing! The wait time is very long, and best for smaller groups. There are limited pizza options: * Marinara * Marinara Extra * Cosacca * Marita

4.5/5 One of the most famous pizzerias in the world, would it lived up to the hype?? I had to try it. So I have to say I am used to American pizza which has meats, and different toppings. Once you get used to Margherita or just accept the fact that you simply can't get toppings on your pizza you're on your way. The first time I passed by here there was a long line but I was heading somewhere else so no problem. When I finally went to eat, about 7:30PM I figured out the system, there were 2 lines one where you were given a number and waited to be seated and the takeout line. Since I was by myself I opted for takeout as the place I was staying at was only a 5 minute walk away. I was here in the offseason so it was mostly Neapolitans with just a couple of tourists so the wait for a table was about 45 minutes+ while I waited about 5 minutes to get inside to place my order and then waited 10-15 minutes or so to pick up my pizza. The menu is really simple only 4 different pizzas to choose from: Margherita- tomato, fior di latte cheese, oil, basil Marinara- tomato, oregano, garlic, oil Cosacca- tomato, pecorino cheese, oil, basil Marita- half Margherita and half Marinara I opted for the Margherita and Cosacca. While Italian pizza is meant to be eaten with a knife and fork, if it is cut into slices I am going to pick it up to eat it. Both pies were excellent, you can taste the fresh tomatoes and cheese. The crust is very thin (which is why you eat it with a knife and fork duh!) which is how I like my crust. At only €5,50 per pizza it makes it all that much better. I have been told that you should not wait in line too long for a pizza in Napoli because there is always another good pizzeria just around the corner. I would recommend waiting a little to try the pizza here because it really is that good, probably the 2nd best pizza I had in all of Italy. In fact, I ate here twice while in Napoli. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5, rounded up to 5.

They definitely have a system figured out for the long lines. The pizza was so good and we would have returned again if we weren't so tired from our tours.

Oh. Mm. Gee. I think I found the best Pizza Margherita I have ever had. It's such a simple pizza, but with the best dough, tomato sauce, and Mozzarella, it is the best pizza. The lines are long for take-out, but moves pretty fast. Being seated and served may be faster. There are two storefronts that serve dine-in customers, and they constantly communicate with each other. Either way, you gotta try this!

I went to Italy on vacation and was in Naples and made getting neopolitian style pizza a priority. When I searched for the best pizza places in Naples this was at the top of the list, and for good reason. The lines were not too long, but they was certainly a wait, but it's worth it. The menu is very limited with only 3 basic options, a marina, traditional Margherita, a cosacca, or bald marina half Margherita. I got a Margherita and a cosacca, both were amazing. The service was good and relatively fast, and the place was clean. They had a good bit of seating for dining in, but you can order takeaway as well. The pizza is pretty big for a neopolitian style, but also very thin. I was surprised at how good the cosacca was given it's limited ingredients, but it did not disappoint. I wish I had more time in Naples to eat more pizza, there are pizzarias everywhere, but I'm glad I chose this place, and you will be too.

Very traditional simple fast and feels like Napoli. Experience you can't have anywhere else. The line goes very quick

The pizza was very good. But this is Napoli. It has to be. And so are many other places here. And taste is like beauty: it's in the eye of the beholder. We didn't particularly like the crust soggy and chewy. A bit of crunch would've been nice. But that's according to your taste. What surprised me was while paying at the front, the waiter came over with his hand open a foot away from me and said "service not included. Tips!" I looked at him for a split second and promptly gave over the change. It wasn't worth asking why they were asking, no, demanding, tips. We're here to have a good time. But that was a major turn off. I sure hope they don't import that awful American custom. It has really gotten out of hand in the US.

High hopes tinged with trepidation that this could be overhyped. I see the long line ahead of me. I wait. I order. I wait. The pizza, hot and fresh, is in my hands. I take the first bite and wait for that moment of exultation. Then another, thinking somehow it didn't sink in the first time. Then realization- an utter let down. It was bland and oily. Where is the sweet tomato taste? And the cheese? Disappointment. Don't waste your time here.

The food was ok, the service not great. My husband enjoyed his caprese. My pizza was dry and hard to cut. The house wine was good. I would like to give them a 3.5. It was better than a three.

This was stop two on our pizza tour of Naples...one of the famous spots for its appearance in the film Eat, Pray Love (My wife was 90% sure we were seated at the table depicted in the movie) serving up a few variations of traditional Neapolitan pizza. It lived up to our expectations. A few notes if you're new to getting pizza in Naples: 1) The pizzas here are meant to be eaten with a fork and knife. Yes, they're a little soggy in the middle and not quite as easy to eat with your hands as a traditional "American" slice of pizza. This is how it's done here. It's not a mistake. Adjust your expectations and enjoy the deliciousness of the assembled ingredients. 2) Here specifically, there's a long line to get pizza to go. If you want to dine in the restaurant, you grab a number and you'll see when your number comes up on the digital display. It takes less time than getting in the to go line. (in our experience.) Although this was stop 2, I'm writing this after we had many pizzas all over Naples and this was super good. My wife and I shared an off-menu variation of half margherita and half "Cosacca' without the pecorino (as we're vegetarians.) They already offer an on menu half and half (Margherita / Marinara) but we wanted the extra flavors and cheese that came on the Cosacca and our server told us it wouldn't be a problem. Their half and half was a little more 1/4 - 1/2 - 1/2 in how it looked, but it was really good. I mean really good and, although I can typically down an entire Neapolitan pizza, these were a little bigger than what we saw elsewhere and it was perfect for my wife and I to share. We also loved the simplicity of the menu. There are just 4 pizzas...three of them are vegetarian versions, and as mentioned, they were able to do half and half the way we wanted. Antica Pizzera Da Michele, besides the fact that many people come here just because it was in a movie, is real-deal, legitimate, among the best Neapolitan pizzas in town. It's worth any wait.

10/10 this pizza is soooo worth the hype! We got two of the Margherita pizzas and the cheese on them was *chef's kiss* Somehow we got there mid afternoon at the perfect time when there were only a couple people seated and no wait time! Our pizza was made in probably less than 10 minutes fresh and it was as authentic as it comes! The vibe of the place was also very authentic, despite it being featured on a Julia Roberts hit, I got the sense it was family run by the banter of the people in the back that were making the pizza. Simple menu with outstanding pizza!

If you aren't accustomed to high quality pizza in your city, L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is going to taste pretty amazing. A world famous pizzeria that were featured in a movie (Eat Pray Love). There is usually a line. There is a line for take out order and a separate line if you can collect a number if you want to sit down. We went with the take out approach. The wait, order and picking up the pizza took roughly 30 minutes. This could vary depending on crowd size. There is only 3 options regarding pizza. We got the classic margherita and mariana. Pizza was pretty good. No complaints. It's worth a try. An overall positive experience.

Amazing food, reasonably priced, and cozy ambiance! We arrived on a Thursday at around 6pm local time, and didn't have to wait in a line since we requested our pizza for Take away. Ordered the Margherita pizza and it was only 5.50 Euros!!! And it was DELICIOUS. For a restaurant that was featured in 'Eat, Pray, Love", it's shocking that they still kept prices so reasonable and the quality of ingredients still phenomenal. I hope to come back next time, and anyone coming to Napoli should not miss out on this spot!

Mama Mia! We were very fortunate to spend a few weeks in the Mediterranean and pizza in Naples was one of our planned culinary experiences. We used Yelp to find this outstanding authentic Neapolitan pizza restaurants. We got here around 11:30am and there was already a long line. awe opted to get two carry out margarita pizzas and it really didn't take too long. Maybe 20 minutes we found a street vendor down the street who gave us a table if we purchased drinks from him. Perfect! We ordered 4 Peroni Beers and opened the boxes. The pizza was delicious! Excellent! What a great experience to get pizza in Naples, Italy...the birthplace of PIZZA! . eccellente! Ciao!

Best Napoli Pizza Hands Down. We have a L' Antica in Santa Barbara in Southern California. We have eaten there 3 or 4 times. We couldn't wait to compare the US version vs Naples. Hands down Naples is the winner. Not even close We will be back soon.

Waited an hour for the pizza and it was very good pizza however I don't know if it's so much better than other pizzas that make it worth waiting over an hour just to get the pizza for takeaway! Id only go again if the line didn't look out of control. Other pizza nearby is good as well with a fraction of the wait. I still say you should go at least once to make your own determination if it's worth the wait.

The classic! Do you need to go here? Yes. Will the pizza change your life? Probably not. It's a small, super casual spot, but the waiters are quick and friendly and the pizza comes to you piping hot.

In Naples, where pizza began! This is the second oldest pizzeria in Naples, and the pizza is OUTSTANDING! Get there early...the wait gets longer as the day progresses. The dine-in restaurant opened at 11:00---we were already #39! We opted for the take-away line, which opens at 11:30. We waited in line for about 15-20 minutes before placing our order of 2 Margherita pizzas; the pizzas took about 30 minutes. It was well-worth the wait! One pizza is perfect for two people. We were lucky to find a little table on the street about a block away to enjoy our Neapolitan pizzas with some cold Peroni beer! This was probably the best pizza I've ever had!!!

Not what you expect. Disappointing. Perhaps like everyone we were so excited to be in Napoli and try the pizza. We decided to dine in and the wait was about 30 minutes. Ordered two pizzas with beer, they are 5 euro each. The pizza was soggy and don't have much taste. We couldn't believe it. Perhaps an off night, shouldn't be for a place that people travel the world to get to... This opinion was from all 4 of us.

First time in Naples so of course we had to go to the place that invented the Margherita pizza! Long lineup outside what looks to be a hole in the wall but after about 15 mins we were inside and sitting at the very table where Jude Law had his pizza! There are only two pizzas, Margherita and Marinara! We obviously got one of each! The pizza is thin crust wood oven baked with fresh mozzarella and basil garnish. You pick it up and told in half like the Italians to eat it! So simple yet so delicious and has a soft chew texture to it. The downside to eating here is the smokers can stand outside the door of the restaurant and the smoke blows in! I also found it a little brash to hold a tin with 'TIPS' written on it and being solicited by staff. It's not customary so don't feel you have to as they charge a sitting fee of 1-2 euros per person. We just round up to the nearest Euro on top of the bill. For us it's about 1 1/2 times our currency at the time of this review.

This hot spot is known as the best pizza in the Napoli (Naples), and we've been lucky enough to visit here twice. Our first visit was 5 years ago and it was amazing, which is what brought us here a 2nd time during our commute from Rome to Sorrento. Unfortunately, this 2nd visit happen proven that this icon pizzeria has fallen victim to its popularity because the quality is not what I remember and the service (to simply place a to-go order) was very intolerable and not worth the hour and 40 mins I waited to place the order, and another 25 mins for the pizza ready to take. There were approx 14-16 people in line ahead of me. They only have 3 pizza options which I totally understand. High volume of pizza making requires quick and simple options. We ordered the Margherita. The pizza was about the size of a medium in the US, are made in a wood burning oven, and cost 5.5 euros. Very affordable. The crust is super light and airy...to a fault because when you attempt to pickup a slice it's extremely limp and the cheese literally slide right off. I recommend and I'm convinced it's meant to be eaten with a knife and fork. Since ours was to-go we had no knife and fork available. The crust could have been the star of the show if it was cooked another few minutes to give it any kind of stability. Overall the pizza was pretty bland and the cheese quality was mediocre. I've had amazing pizza in Italy and the US that far surpasses what you will get here. I gave it 3 stars as the average from my first visit to my 2nd, and last visit. On the bright side, YELP is totally represented on their front door.

The line was super long and the wait was probably about 45 min the pizza was good but not really worth the hype. We were disappointed the inside is pretty small but we didn't stay we got ours to go ... if you're dying to go because of the the movie eat pray love I would say check it out but if you're expecting it to be the best pizza you've ever had ... well I'm not sure about that

Most overrated pizza I've had for the hype it gets! Let's talk about service first. When we got there, I walked to the front to ask for a number and the guy basically sent me back and told me to wait. He eventually came back and gave me a number. The line seemed to move pretty fast. He was calling numbers out, and we realized he skipped over ours a few times (we were a party of 2). Eventually, after waiting 15-20 minutes we got sat (which is pretty normal for this place) but the service inside was soooo slow! We waited atleast 20 minutes for someone to come ask us for drinks and order. Once ordered, we noticed that many others who came after us got their pizza before us. Mind you, this place only has 3 pizza options you can choose from. We ordered the basic margarita pizza, which came out after another 30 minutes, and it was sooo runny! Like the tomato sauce was just basically tomato water. It wasn't great. The service really does make up for the experience and it was just terrible overall.

Four pizzas on the menu and one pizza is a combo of two of the others. 45 minute wait for a table at 4:00. The crust is solid, as is the cheese and sauce. Prices are great, and the pizza is about 20-22 inches across. Not sure of the hype or Michelin reference, but I can say I've dined here.

Pizza!! L'Antica was our first stop in Naples. The restaurant opens at 11 and I knew about the long lines for this popular pizza restaurant. We arrived at 10:20 and were 2nd in line! They let us in at 10:30 and we got to watch them prepare for the day. So fun! The staff was friendly. The restaurant is small. The menu offered just four choices of pizzas. We ordered one Margherita and one Marinara to share. Delicious! The pizza is a thin crust with puffy chewy edges. We all loved it. When we left there was a long line outside. A must stop in Naples!!

Iconic spot for tasting pizza in a city where pizza was born. The line is long (easily greater than 2 hour wait) and the menu is short (4 items total), but talk about great value only ~5 euro per authentic pizza experience. Like most people, we pulled a ticket to wait for dine-in and waited in the take-out line as well, since we weren't sure which would get called first. Ultimately we ended up dining in which was super exciting -- the interior was more spacious than it looked on the outside. Clean and high ceilings with photos on the wall of celebrities who had ventured here in the past. Simple menu so can't possibly go wrong. The margherita was my favorite and went great with a glass of Coca Cola or cold beer. Cheers!

Besides the line being so long and TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT the pizza was soggy and tasteless. We ordered a Margarita and Coosacca. Don't waste your time and money.

Best pizza ever!!! Worth the walk and the wait. Must go here if you are in Napoli! So delicious

Making me a Michelin guide disbeliever. The pizza was sad. It was a fun experience of course to wait and see the crowds. But that's all. Total b/s.

World class margherita pizza for 5 euros?! Yes please! We had a wonderful experience here. We were eating on American dinner time (7 pm), so luckily we beat the dinner rush. Their seating system is efficient - just grab a ticket and wait for your number to be called. Once seated inside, it barely takes any time between ordering and receiving your piping hot pizza fresh from the brick oven. The crust is THIN, so I found that 2 pizzas was the perfect portion for 2 hungry diners. The pizza was wonderful - not overhyped! Pairs well with Peroni. :) Can't wait to return here next time I'm in Napoli!

DO NOT BOTHER!!!!! We were in Rome and decided to go to Naples for a day trip and try pizza from this place that we had heard so much about After a long wait, rude bald guy at register we got our "take-away" pizza, 3 total. Waist of train ride, cabs, time in line, money and calories! It was a wet sloppy mess! The pizza was soggy and soupy, all 3 of them. They are very busy, due to all the hype they get. Here's my feeling, "they don't care anymore!" They are on the map, and are now just mass producing pizzas for the cash. Flavor was good but again, not worth the wait. It was a soupy undercooked mess, with rude service. Not worth the hype!

Ok the lines are crazy, it's true. However it only took us an hour to get in and we had 25 numbers/groups in front of us. Once seated we had plenty of space to get ready for eating our delicious pizza. The pizza came within 10 minutes of being ordered. Pipping hot and ready to eat. It is so delicious you can devour an entire pizza on your own! We both got margaritas pizzas and boy they were satisfying. Staff was nice and polite which is rare in Italy much less for such a busy place. Glad we waited and I would definitely wait again for this yummy pizza.

Not my favorite. Quick service and line went fast but really hated that they didn't serve wine? It's dinner in Italy? But they serve beer. I'm not a beer drinking. I liked the pizza but I'm not sure it was worth the wait and wine less dinner. Plenty of good places in Naples that I would have rather dined at

Well if you've seen or know about the movie Eat Pray Love starring Julia Roberts, then you may know about L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele! She ate at this tasty restaurant with the iconic green/white tiles. Their menu is very small--just 4 food items and like 4 drink items. You must absolutely get the a Margherita pizza. Next best pizza is the Marinara. Yes, everything is super delicious and better yet, it's cheap! You can never really go wrong with good/cheap food at a longstanding iconic Italian pizza joint in Naples. Buon appetito!

Glad we stopped in here, we had quite a good experience. Super hyped up so mom and I had some big time expectations and of course we were disappointed a bit as it definitely was not the best pizza we had in Naples but still super freaking good! Not worth the wait though that is forsure... I'd recommend literally going anywhere else lol all of the pizza in Naples is bomb dude don't eat 30-60 mins for this place. Very friendly service and like I said, pizza was delicious just not 5 star worthy!

Pizza margarita was amazing and the service was very fast and enjoyable. The ambiance is unique to this pizzeria. It's definitely a stop in Naples.

La pizza bruciata non va bene. Burnt pizza is no good. You can go anywhere else for the same kind in Napoli!
