Honestly, when coming to Brandi, I was expecting to be hit with expensive or overpriced pizza that was essentially the same as all of the surrounding competitors simply for the prestige of the being the pronounced "first to serve Margherita Pizza".
I was wrong! And very happily so. The prices of the pizze we got here were comparable to those from other restaurants nearby, and by that I mean CHEAP. Very generously cheap.
But if the price was low, then the quality must be pretty subpar too, right? NOPE, this pizza was quite literally the best Napolitano Margherita I've ever had. Crisp golden crust that flakes on the outside with an airy, fluffy inside. Beautiful tomato sauce, which had a natural sweetness. Perfectly melted mozzarella, not over-cooked or charred. All perfumed with fresh basil that was kissed by the heat.
My wife decided to get the Diavola version, and I thought that there was no way some pepperoni-looking salsiccia could belong on this perfect pizza. And then I tried a bite of hers, and was sent up to the stars like fireworks with this pure flavor-bomb. This sausage is what pepperoni wishes it was even on the same planet, in so far as spices and heat. Incredible.
My only grievance, even slight, was that my wife and I could tell that the waiter did not like us, and seemed to be avoiding us. I could tell the manager (or owner) was very sweet, genuine, and attentive. He even gave us a little Naples magnet, just because we were visiting.
There are plenty of great things in Naples to do, see, and experience. If you appreciate good food, put Brandi at the top of your list.
