Apizza di Napoli®️

One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. I ordered a New Haven pizza and side salad after a long day of work in Aiken, SC. PROS: The crust was thin and crispy on the New Haven pizza. I always thought that a New Haven pizza was without cheese and only tomato sauce with some pecorino, but I really enjoyed this pizza and ate the whole thing. The salad was delicious and blueberry pomegranate, balsamic vinaigrette had a lot of flavor. CONS: The pizza was not cut, despite the menu saying that it would be cut. Some pizzas on the menu say UNCUT next to the name of the pizza with the disclaimer that Neapolitan pizza should not be cut. Normally it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but I was staying in a hotel but the plastic fork and knife they gave me was enough to cut the pizza. It was $26 for a 12 inch pizza and some spring mix and halved cherry but I don’t mind paying that much for a meal when it is high-quality. And this pizza and salad was very delicious. They gave me a 8:05 PM pick up time but when I walked in at 7:55 the pizza was being put into the box so that could have something to do with it not being cut. Overall, this was a high-quality pizza and salad, and it was very delicious after a long day of work. The next time I’m in Aiken, I plan to order from here again. Highly recommend!

I’ve visited this establishment twice. I do like the pizza, the wings were not bad, my favorite was the pollo picante pizza, not sure what “NOLA sauce” is bc it didn’t taste like anything I’ve had in NOLA but the pizza was very good. I do think this place is a little pricey & the service is not very friendly. I just moved back to the area from NOLA so maybe I’m used to a different level of friendliness. The service alone makes me want to avoid this place, they seem bothered :(

This restaurant changed my entire perspective of pizza. Best pizza of my life. We live over an hour away and have wanted to try their pizza for over a year. Upset we didn’t come earlier. We tried the Margherita, New Haven and Vesuvius pizzas. My wife liked the Margherita the best and I liked the Vesuvius the best. That’s not saying much as they all were amazing. I regret not getting a fourth or fifth at this point. The desserts, Spumoni Bomba and Cannoli, were excellent as well. I’m an ice cream guy so I devoured most of the Spumoni and my wife loved the Cannoli. We will definitely be back and try other pizzas and maybe get 5 or 6 because they were just as delicious out of the toaster oven.

I had a stop in the area so I decided to try out this place. The last time I was here was around 3 years ago or so. The menu looked the same and I knew what to expect from the pizza. This is not your typically large overloaded pie that you can pick up by a slice. This is a traditional Neapolitan style which you have to use a knife and fork to eat. The atmosphere was ok but the seating very comfortable. The staff seemed nice enough but there was this heavy scrutiny I felt on me walking in as if I was uninitiated into the ways of this restaurant. FYI I spent 6 years overseas in military and 2 in Italy so I’ve had my share of Italian style pizza! Regardless I was eager to “impress” the staff and not appear a neophyte. I ordered one of the pizzas whose name escapes me and added sausage. The pizza chef behind counter was in a word… intimidating… who was I to question his art if he put out a great pizza. I would leave him alone to craft my creation. The pizza arrived. It came with a pizza cutter which I did not need but was appreciated. The sauce was simply magnificent and had a lot of depth and freshness. The sausage had a nice little bite and the cheese was just right. In a word a great pizza. I wish I could make something this tasty at home. So I give this place a 5/5 on the pizza quality alone. The time came to pay for the bill and my pizza plus water came out to around $26 which was a bit pricy for lunch but I was feeling adventurous and ce la vie you only live once. I politely paid and went on my way careful not to incite the wrath of the pizza chef by locking eyes with him. He was a great pizza maker and I want to be on his good side! I may be back one day… when the mood strikes me.

Sitting here right now and was reminded to do a review for my favorite pizza place! You MUST come here, even if it’s a drive or out of your way come and eat it. You’ll be so happy you did. The pizza is so authentic and ridiculously different from any pizza from US chains. It may take a bit longer to make, but the process makes it worth the wait. Have a drink and an appetizer. We love the fried zucchini flowers and margarita pizzas, but honestly everything is delicious. I love the pictures of Italy on the wall and the Italian music. The owner offered to explain items (like buffalo mozzarella) in case we were unfamiliar with anything. My grandparents were immigrants from Sicily and both have passed. Pizza di Napoli is the only place in the US that feels like their kitchen.
