Reviews
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 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.

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