A Wonderful Visit to the Oldest Pizzeria in Naples – Excellent Pizza, Warm Service, and Centuries of History

We visited the historic Anticchissima Pizzeria Port’Alba in Naples, widely regarded as the oldest pizzeria in the world, with origins dating back to 1738. What began as a simple street stand serving flatbreads to students, travelers, and workers eventually became a full pizzeria around 1830, when pizza started being served as a proper restaurant dish. Stepping inside today feels like stepping into a living piece of culinary history.

The atmosphere carries the charm of centuries of tradition — lively, authentic, and unmistakably Neapolitan. You can sense that generations of locals and visitors have passed through these doors long before us.

We ordered their oldest traditional pizza and their most popular one, and both were truly excellent. The dough was light and perfectly baked, the ingredients fresh and full of flavor, and the balance of toppings showed the craftsmanship that made Neapolitan pizza famous worldwide. It’s easy to understand why this place has remained a beloved institution for so long.

The service was wonderful — warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, which added greatly to the experience. The ambiance was simple but full of character, exactly what you hope for when visiting a historic pizzeria in the heart of Naples.

Overall, it was a delightful visit: excellent pizza, lovely service, and the unique opportunity to enjoy a meal in the birthplace of pizza as we know it today. A must‑visit for anyone who wants to experience true Neapolitan tradition.

We stopped by Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba and ordered a Margherita pizza, and it was absolutely worth it. The crust was light and perfectly baked, the sauce had that fresh tomato flavor, and the mozzarella melted beautifully. For such a historic place, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. There’s something really special about eating in a pizzeria that’s been serving food for centuries—it feels like being part of Naples’ history. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and you can sense the tradition in every bite. If you want a genuine Neapolitan pizza in a spot with historical charm, this is a must-visit.

Amazing pizza in the historical part of town. The menu offers more than 100 different pizza options, and despite the huge selection, everything was served really fast. The waiter was nice, friendly, and clearly knew the menu well, offering helpful suggestions on what to order. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy excellent pizza while exploring the old town.

I was walking down a street that appeared to be ancient. I stopped abruptly at the sight of this gem. I told my significant other we should give it a try.

We stepped inside and were seated immediately. It was cozy. I looked at the menu to see what was offered.

The menu stated Servizio incluso for Coperto 2,00. In English, it was Service included for Cover Charge 2,00. From the Bar section, I ordered a Whisky ………………………………………………………………………………… € 5,00. Our server told me it was JACK DANIEL’S, which was perfect. From the Pizze section, we went with a Pizza Marinara …………………………………………………………………………….. € 6,00. It was Pizza w tomato, garlic, oregano.

The Whisky was smooth. I enjoyed it. The Pizza Marinara was bigger than I expected. It had a distinct look and I was ready to try it. The first bite was incredible. The ingredients were simple, yet came together to form a phenomenal flavor. Every bite I had was delicious.

Oddly, we wanted more. From the Pizze section, we went with a Pizza Marinara con Funghi …………………………………………………………….. € 8,00. It was Pizza w tomato, oregano, garlic, mushrooms.

It came out fast and the flavor was just as phenomenal as the Pizza Marinara.

The service was fantastic. Our server was fast. He was also friendly.

Overall, it was worth the visit. I was blown away by this place. I hope to go again soon.

Date of visit: 23/03/25

Literally some of the best pizza on Earth, if not THE best. Fresh, explosion of flavor from the first place that mainstreamed it. The gnocchi we had was equally as impressive. I would fly to Italy again just to eat here!

The oldest pizzeria in the world!!! First established in 1738 as a stand for peddlers, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba was opened in 1830 in the town center at Via Port’Alba 18.
Pizzeria looks very nice. We got one pizza to share (after eating all day. there was no chance to eat entire pizza each) Pizza was very nice but 1/4 of it was burnt on the bottom. (looks like it happens often) After eating (trying) 7 pizzas in 5 different pizzerias, this one is deffenetly NOT GREAT!!!

Delicious pizzas! Both my partner and myself were very happy with our order. It is quite large for an individual pizza so watch out for the portion size if your appetite is not known to be huge.

Amazing to step into the oldest pizzeria in the world, since 1738.

Pizza was alright. The pizza fritter was unique as it was our first time trying.

Honestly, considering this has received so many good reviews and has been here for so long, it was a little disappointing.

Yes, it has tradition and the waiters working there were really polite with us.

But the pizza just was not good enough and not worth it. There are better places to eat and more affordable.

Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba is a must-visit in Naples it’s considered the **oldest pizzeria in the world**, dating back to **1738** when it started as a simple street stand and officially opened as a pizzeria in **1830**. Stepping inside feels like going back in time, with its traditional stone ovens and authentic Neapolitan atmosphere. The pizza is simple, delicious, and full of history, you can truly taste the roots of Naples’ pizza culture here. It can get busy, but that’s part of the charm. A real piece of pizza history!
