"L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is truly a historic treasure — and the pizza absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. For just 6 euros, you get an incredible, delicious, and very filling pizza that captures the authentic taste of Naples. Simple, traditional, and unbelievably good! I do have to mention one small downside: during my visit, takeaway was the only option, so I had to sit outside on a bench (and I was lucky there were even two benches available). No paper towels were provided either, which made things a bit less convenient. Still, the quality of the pizza is undeniable, and the flavor makes it absolutely worth the visit. If you’re in Naples and want to try a true classic, Da Michele is a must — just be prepared for a takeaway experience!"

"We visited this place because it was highly hyped on social media. There was a queue during lunch time and we waited about 15 minutes for a table for four. The menu is very simple, with only 4 pizzas available, and prices are very reasonable at €6 per pizza. The pizza was large, light, chewy, and tasted good. While it was enjoyable, it was not outstanding or “the best,” but definitely great value for money. The restaurant was crowded, yet service was efficient — we waited less than 10 minutes for our pizzas. The staff worked hard and kept things moving smoothly. They do ask for a tip when settling the bill, and we were happy to tip given the effort and speed of service. Overall, it is a decent spot that feels a bit overhyped. Not worth making a special trip for, but a good and affordable option if you’re already in the area."

"Everything was perfect. We (a family of four) came there in the evening around 19:00 and we didn’t wait even a minute. There was a free table for us, we made a choice and in maybe 10 minutes as maximum we got our pizzas. The price is quite low, taking in consideration that they prepare their pizzas in the real oven. The atmosphere is perfect. Real Italian pizzeria."

"Da Michele was top on our list of pizzas for a Napoli pizza, and we went there for the first meal after arrival in Naples. It was the thinest pizza we ever had like Rumali roti thin, and the best ever. Simple menu of 4 veg pizzas can create so magic is unbelievable , we went there total 3 times and the restaurant meets simplicity , yet epitome of taste and quality. This was absolute delish .. warm welcome, simple 4 pizza menu that the best we could ever have !"

"Took a day trip to Naples while I stayed in Rome to sample the food at Italy’s oldest standing pizza establishment. The menu was simple - three choices which is different from what I’m used to in New York. The pie was thin with a soft crust and not a lot of cheese. My final verdict…it was good and definitely worth a side trip from my wandering."

"After almost one hour of waiting we managed to get inside as a group of 7 people. The system is a bit confusing and we got there on the time when they were letting all the people out, cleaning the tables and only after letting all the people who are waiting in. We got there around 15:30. It’s not the ideal time. If you are very hungry you have to consider the waiting. There is a separate queue for the take away pizza. It’s a bit difficult to talk with the staff managing the queue. When you want to eat inside you have to ask for the number and tell the number of people dining in. The wait inside for the pizza wasn’t long at all considering that we were taking 5 pizzas. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Pizza was very good but not sure if it was great ale worth this wait. We just went there as the place is famous. In general we were happy about this experience. The price was great too, very cheap for this famous place."

"The food is classic in the best way—everything is kept simple, high-quality, and done properly. The service was exceptionally fast too. We also came at a non-touristy time, so we walked right in and sat wherever we wanted with no waiting. Atmosphere is a solid 5/5 for me because it reminded me of my hometown and the traditional “lokanta” restaurants back home warm, honest, and comforting. If you’re coming to Napoli, this place really shouldn’t be missed."

"I visited here early March as a solo female. Was thankfully given a seat straight away despite being very full indeed. It was full of Italian families and children, lovely atmosphere, all chattering and bustling. I ordered 1 of the 4 pizza available and it arrived in what seemed like seconds.. Bobbling hot and oozing with cheese it was literally amazing! A pizza and a bottle of beer, €10! Highly recommend!"
