Best Pizzas in Campania: The Top 5

Campania is the homeland of pizza par excellence: whether you're in Naples or Caserta, in both cities you can now enjoy an excellent pizza and be fully satisfied.

However, to be precise, we asked ourselves: what were the best pizzas and pizzerias in 2023? Let's find out together.

50 Top Pizza awarded the following pizzerias throughout Italy for the year 2023, during an event at the Teatro Argentina in Rome.

In first place are I Masanielli by Francesco Martucci of Caserta (which received the Forno Verde 2023 recognition) and 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria of Naples.

In second place, Simone Padoan of I Tigli in San Bonifacio (VR), and in third place, Seu Pizza Illuminati of Rome. The criteria anonymously evaluated by inspectors included the quality of the offering, the service, the wine list, and the attention to new market demands, such as gluten-free pizza and vegan options.

The ranking in Campania

Narrowing it down, according to the Gambero Rosso ranking, here are the top 5 in Campania:

1. 10 Diego Vitagliano
   Pizzeria awarded for its light, soft, and digestible doughs, the result of much research and experimentation. We suggest trying the different interpretations of Margherita and Marinara—a real delight.

2. 50 Kalò
   A large Neapolitan-style format, low crust and an above-standard hydration that makes it super digestible. Twenty pizzas, six vegetarian pizzas, and two fried pizzas, plus fried snacks like the typical crocchè, frittatina, and supplì. It’s all up to you!

3. Da Attilio alla Pignasecca
   In this typical neighborhood pizzeria, we recommend trying a selection of special pizzas like the Carnevale pizza: eight tips filled with ricotta and fiordilatte from Vico Equense, San Marzano tomatoes, sausage from Benevento, and a mix of Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano.

4. La Notizia
   Pizzeria by Enzo Coccia with his sons. What do we recommend? The classics on the menu and well-thought-out new interpretations. Try the Baccalà in cassuola pizza, the Procidana pizza with grilled cherry tomatoes, and the Pizza ai Grissini with piennolo tomatoes from Vesuvius, buffalo ricotta, buffalo mozzarella, spicy breadstick crumbs, and cured ham.

5. Oliva da Concettina ai Tre Santi
   A dough designed for extreme lightness. The menu offers the possibility to choose from traditional pizzas, with no less than five versions of the Margherita, to tasting journeys that become a true narrative of Naples and the Oliva family.

Other very famous and delicious pizzerias that follow include:
Francesco & Salvatore Salvo, brothers offering customers a sublime experience. Highly recommended are the Margherita, Marinara, and Cosacca.
Gino Sorbillo, a well-known popular figure in Neapolitan gastronomic culture, located on Via dei Tribunali.
Starita, famous for its street food, fried items, and its pizza at the original location in Materdei.
