The pizzas are absolutely amazing. Fresh, light pizza dough. We had the spicy salami one and the tuna one with a bruschetta with cheese and tomatoes too. All top notch and the pizza fritta (deep fried) looks fab and we will go back to try that. They do a Nutella one! They do takeaway too. Speedy service and friendly staff. Will be back.

I went there for the third time, because i love the pizza and the small terrace. The food is amazing, the true original taste. The wine selection is also well done with italian top shots like the Chianti Superiore and good wines by the glass

If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, Il Vesuvio is an absolute must-visit. The dough is simply outstanding—light, perfectly airy, and incredibly easy to digest, a true sign of expert craftsmanship and careful preparation. The ingredients are fresh, premium quality, and full of flavor, while the wood-fired oven gives the pizza that unmistakable aroma, texture, and authentic taste that only traditional Neapolitan baking can achieve. Every pizza reflects the true spirit of Naples, prepared with passion, respect for tradition, and great attention to every detail. Congratulations to the entire team for delivering such an exceptional dining experience. A well-deserved five stars—I will definitely be back!

Delicious, authentic handmade traditional pizza! Every bite was full of flavour, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The desserts were absolutely scrumptious too. We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Il Vesuvio Pizzeria Napoletana absolutely blew us away. This is the closest you’ll get to Naples without boarding a plane — the dough, the sauce, the toppings, everything tastes unmistakably home made and crafted with real pride. You can feel the skill in every bite, and that roaring Neapolitan oven ties it all together like a little volcano of joy. Run by true Neapolitan pizza makers, this place delivers the real deal. Already dreaming of the next visit.
