L'Antica Pizzeria • da Michele

Pizza are HUGE! Staff is very nice. Overall great atmosphere. First disappointment is the Pizza Fritta, not anywhere near what you will eat in Napoli. Second, half the wine card is not available. We had higher expectations.

NYC Location!!!! Originating from Naples Italy one of the most world renowned pizzas is brought to the city using what is said to be the original recipe dating back to the 1800s headed by Michele Rubini. The pizza is cooked in a hi temp true Italian oven using incredibly fresh tasting ingredients. The crust is loaded with char and leoparding underneath with incredible flavor. Airy and delicate around the edges the middle of the pie is definitely fork and knife as it’s to thin to hold up to the cheese and sauce. The cheese uses fior di latte, fresh silky cheese that is unlike anything I’ve had in this style so far. The sauce to me stands out the most. Rich tangy flavor comes from the fresh tomato that’s a perfect match for the cheese and complinted nicely by the basil that is anything but overpowering. Place itself has modern Naples feel to it, great people and service, what feels as close to authentic as you’ll get in NYC atleast so far for me. This kinda goes beyond a pizzadventure more so a culinary experience that is a must for any foodie!!!

Should have been cooked a bit more but a pretty decent pizza overall.

Wow! This is amazing. Great crust. Amazing sauce. Just enough fresh mozzarella to give it that classic taste. Been to Lake Como, Florence, and now Milan and this is the best one yet.

Crowned as the best pizza in the world by Julia Roberts. The softest Neapolitan-style Pizza you will have ever eaten. The dough is good, sauce-olive oil combo incredible and the mozzarella can be doubled. It’s a huge pizza. However, it has almost no crunch. If it was crispier, it would have deserved a score in the 9s.
