L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele
Naples' 1870 temple: only Margherita and Marinara
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
The most famous pizzeria in the world to many, da Michele has served just two pizzas, Margherita and Marinara, from its Forcella corner since 1870. The dough is supple, the tomato bright, the ritual unchanged; you take a number and wait. This is the verace original, not an imitation trading on the name.
Editor's Tip
Founded 1870 and listed in the Michelin Guide. The benchmark Marinara and Margherita that the whole canon measures against.
