€10–20
"Situated in one of the liveliest working-class neighbourhoods of Naples, this restaurant serves traditional Neapolitan pizzas, including a few unusual innovations such as pizzas in the shape of an 8-pointed star. In business since 1938 and now run by the third generation of the same family, Da Attilio has just a few tables arranged in two small dining rooms and doesn’t take reservations. Although you may have to wait at the busiest times of day, you’ll find the wait well worthwhile!" - Michelin Inspector
"I felt transported back in time at Da Attilio: the Carnevale (a star-shaped pizza with tomato, mozzarella, sausage, grated cheese, and a ricotta-stuffed crust) embodies a century-old tradition and a nostalgic, historical pizza experience." - Food & Wine Editors
"In the “pizza” episode, Peter Meehan and Mark Iacono sample Antillo Bachetti’s very traditional Neapolitan-style pies at this restaurant." - Manami Takashina

Located in the lively, historic district of Pignasecca in Naples, this third-generation pizzeria is celebrated by Time Out’s local expert as serving the best pizza margherita on the planet, topped with San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte from Vico Equense, 24‑month aged parmesan and a sprinkling of fresh basil. It has been serving classic Neapolitan-style pizza since war times and has remained unchanged for the better since 1938, with intimate interiors in close quarters, and it never fails with its classic Pizza Margherita, the queen of all pizzas. Ingredients are carefully sourced from bordering coastal towns, with a clear emphasis on prioritizing quality over fast food, and with a recipe perfected over so many decades it’s no surprise it topped Time Out’s ranking. - Liv Kelly
