"Any restaurant claiming to fully utilize a wood-fired oven to turn out pizza should be roasting meats and vegetables in its flames, too. At Michael’s, the kitchen goes above and beyond to draw the best from the wood, smoke, and heat that turns vegetables into cast-iron skillet-charred gems." - Mona Holmes

My hubby always said this is one of the best pizzas in the county. Today, we finally went there. My first visit, and his first visit after 4 years. On the way to the restaurant, I read a review saying the sauce and dough was bland, my heart sank a bit. I told my hubby, ‘we will be the judge!’ And now I have to agree with the previous review. The sauce wasn’t just bland but also watery. The only flavour that the pizza had was the ingredients they put there when you tasted them individually... they actually didn’t blend in that well. The key to the pizza is the sauce and the dough apart form the ingredients. I guess 4 years ago was the time it’s awarded one of the best pizzas in the US. Sadly, I couldn’t taste the same flavour anymore. To be fair, the salad was quite good! And the IPA as well!

I’ve been to Rome and Florence Italy:) I can say Michael’s Pizzeria is definitely on par with the authentic Italian cuisine:) Their Pizza was more tasty then the one I had in Rome:)

Here on vacation and stopped in for lunch. The food was amazing! Easily in my top 5 best pizzias! If you are looking for a good wood fired pizzia, this is the place! Service was great as well! I will definitely return when back in the area.

1 star for a good tasting margherita pizza. The service here is horrible. When we entered we stood for a few minutes waiting for a server to acknowledge us in this tiny restaurant. When We were finally told we could just sit anywhere the waiter came up to us like 15 minutes later and We ordered a margherita pizza and the bake fusilli. It took us 45 minutes to get our orders. the restaurant wasn't even full at the time. I noticed other tables were given bread except us. We were starving by the time the food finally got to us. Pizza was great. Fusilli was horrible ...it looked like a Mac n cheese, way too saucey, had no flavor and had 2 bits of sausage in it. This cost $14. And I know, you're saying why did u get pasta at a place known for their pizza...in the downtown location I've had their pasta and it's delicious. She also never came in between our order to update us that the food would be a little bit longer to give us a chance to I dunno order an appetizer or something. They seemed like the y get a lot of to go orders and it seemed like their number one priority.

You just have to know that when you have a local Italian family. That's not only in the restaurant business but knows a lot about cooking that. You're gonna get some really fun and authentic food to go at the market and you do. Just go try and support a great new version of a local business. The sauces and the pizza are excellent.

Small. Has a bench outside with a heater overhead. Also some were waiting nextdoor at Michael's bar and restaurant. Pizza was better than average. Also the roasted vegetables was a good appetizer to split between two.

Our experience here was absolutely amazing! When we first got there it seemed small, but the menu looked good, so we decided to try it. That was the best decision we could've made. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. The appetizers and dinner were spread out, which made it easier to enjoy all the food. The servers there are always so inviting and amazing. Both Ben and Mace are always so good to us and have treated us like family. The world needs more people like them! Overall, it was an amazing experience!

Lovely little market with pasta, sauces, excellent olive oils and many other pleasures to help you create a swoon-worthy Italian dinner at home. A real neighborhood gem with well-curated food and very reasonable prices.

I have visited the Market a few times since they opened and very pleased each time. They now have hot food and some daily dinner specials. Similar meals to what Michael's was serving to go during COVID (and help us survive the worse!). We ordered lasagna (nothing better than Michael's lasagna with spinach pasta), arugula salad and pumpkin cheese cakes! Outstanding! Lasagna is definitely large enough to split, unless you are a big eater. We ordered two just in case, now have lunch for tomorrow. Salad is definitely large enough for two, especially if you have a husband you beg to eat greens! Pumpkin Cheesecakes, wonderful texture and flavors! Best way to describe this Market - Michael's to go. Michael's is a excellent Italian restaurant. The items in the market are homemade sauces, pastas, etc. They also carry some dry pasta, cheeses, baguettes, wines, sandwiches, pizza slices, etc. You can order in advance online or phone. You can also just walk in but if looking for hot food, I would recommend ordering in advance. Don't let the prices keep you away. Portions are generous. Refrigerated Sauces may seem expensive but they go a long way. In addition, the ingredients used are for a 5 star restaurant! You won't be disappointed! The Market is planning to bring back their fried chicken with potato salad dinner special on Tuesdays. If you haven't had their potato salad, OMG, must try. Michael's served to go on Sundays, our bubble family got hooked on it during COVID. Glad it is back! They also carry Rotisserie Chicken but not every day. I was told to call a day in advance and they would get one cooked up! Service has always been great and so helpful. Newer business, definitely a bit unique model too, so nice to have staff that explains options and the menu. Shout out to Ann. She really went out of her way to help me. Definitely coming back very soon for the Fried Chicken dinner!

Cutest spot if you're on this side of town. Get a soda and a snack and some grocery goodies for home, like in house chili oil, gnocchi, Italian wines. A really cute find I didn't know was there! Right next to the restaurant, but with daytime hours.

I wanted to try Michael's on Naples, but turns out, they only open for dinner at 5pm. We then stumbled upon the market right next door that sold fresh pasta, house made sauces, and wine. You'll find plenty of imported Italian goods here, and the staff here is very knowledgeable, honest, and patient. Once you enter, there are fridges to the right with a variety of sauces, soups, cheese, etc. On the left are shelves of Italian goods like wine, jars of truffle, and flour to make pasta. And by the cashier, you'll see pizza, lasagna, meats and cheeses. If you purchase food or wine here, you can have them right away on the premises. You'll find a small table inside for 2 and plenty of tables and chairs outside. My partner and I left with 2 bottles of wine at a very reasonable price ($50 for both)! Wines here cost range from $18-$60.

Stumbled upon here after lunch and man, what a spot. The imported wine were priced very reasonably, and there are assorted truffles, balsamic vinegar, flour, and pasta (fresh and dried) on sale. There were also leftover pasta (lasagna) from the restaurant next door that they will reheat for you, and various sandwiches and food for sale. The workers here were very friendly and helpful, and they took time to explain and guide us through the market. They also pack and create charcuterie boards and gift baskets - perfect for the holidays! The store front provides ample room to sit and enjoy the food, and purchased wine can also be enjoyed here on the spot! I highly recommend checking out this spot for lunch, especially when Michael's on Naples is closed.

MUST eat here. Oh my gosh. So good. Great dessert offerings. Capresé sandwich is excellent. Chicken salad wonderful. Homemade great food. Lovely to sit in and eat. Feels like a cafe in Europe : )

We had sandwiches there during the middle of our weekend road bike ride. The serving size was very generous with lots of quality deli meats. Service was very attentive. Highly recommended!

I agree with the other reviews, a little bit of Italy in Naples. Amazing authentic Italian market. No it's not a Cortina's but it's not meant to be. Fresh pasta, beautiful sausage, lasagna, sauces and lovely tomato bottles, olive oil cans, and adorable packages from Italy. My little grandson sat at their table while I perused every inch of the market getting advice a wonderful employee. Took home our goodies and both grandsons ate adult size portions of Michaels pasta. It was a lovely day.
