First time here at one of the most reputable and highly rated pizzerias in Napoli.
This place specialises in authentic Neapolitan-style pizza in "wagon wheel" dimensions, similar to Da Michele. Above 70% hydration, 240-260g dough balls.
What we tried:
🍕 Ciro's take on Provola E Pepe — San Marzano DOP, buffala provola from Sori, fiore sardo DOP, black Tellicherry pepper
🍕 Fresh datterini tomato sauce, fior di latte, pecorino, parmigiano reggiano, basil (new on menu)
Pizza 2 was the surprising winner for me. Great mix of savoury, tangy cheesiness!
Service was quick and welcoming despite the crowd and long queue outside.
This was the first place we visited for pizza after arriving in Naples, and we ordered the classic options. The staff who greeted us and showed us to our table could have been a bit more welcoming. We also had the impression that we were being observed and judged rather than warmly welcomed, which didn’t make the best first impression.
Fortunately, once we had chosen our food, an older waiter took care of us, and his kindness and welcoming attitude made the experience much more enjoyable. The pizza was excellent and very reasonably priced for a restaurant. A special thank you to that waiter for his outstanding service—it really made a difference.
Pros
* The pizza was exceptional and easily one of the best I’ve had in a very long time.
* The dough was perfect: light, airy, and incredibly easy to cut and eat.
* High-quality ingredients really stood out in every bite.
* Excellent selection of pizzas, with plenty of choices to suit different tastes.
Cons
* Service was quite slow. It took around 30 minutes from arriving to having the pizza served at the table.
* There is no booking system, so be prepared to wait for a table, especially during busy periods.
Overall
50 Kalò absolutely lives up to its reputation for pizza quality. The combination of outstanding dough, top-quality ingredients, and a wide variety of options makes it a must-visit in Naples. While the wait for a table and the slow service can be frustrating, the pizza is more than worth it once it arrives. A place I would happily return to.
Pizzeria 50 Kalò is an absolute must-visit for pizza lovers. The pizza here is simply outstanding—perfectly balanced, with a light, airy crust and high-quality ingredients that truly shine in every bite.
Despite how popular the place is, the service is impressively fast and efficient, so you’re never left waiting too long, even during busy times. The staff keeps things moving smoothly without sacrificing quality.
If you choose to sit outside, be aware that the terrace can be quite lively and a bit noisy. That said, it also adds to the vibrant, authentic atmosphere of Naples.
All in all, this is a top-tier pizza experience that absolutely lives up to its reputation
If you’re in Naples and looking for some good quality pizza - 50 Kalò is definitely worth a visit. The pizzas are great with a light, fluffy dough and fresh. The Margherita was a simple and delicious. Very reasonably priced here too! I think we went at a good time as it was quieter and no queues!
Oh and the tiramisu - the best I had!!!
