“Do not look any further.... The pizzas here are like yiu just want to Naples... Wow... Fantastic...”
“Sapori Napoletani Pizzeria is hands down my favorite restaurant! Whenever it’s my turn to pick a place to eat with family or friends, this is my go-to. What keeps me coming back is the consistency - I’ve never had a bad experience here. The pizza, paninis, and fries are spot on every single time. I haven’t tried their pastas yet, but anything that hits that wood-fired oven - especially their dough and crust — - is absolutely delicious! The staff are always kind, welcoming, and friendly, which just adds to the already awesome experience. The picture speaks for itself… do yourself a favor and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!”
“My wife and I go here often after work. The pizza is delicious. The house salad is to die for and the balsamic dressing is just absolutely tasty. We love the bruschetta and usually get gluten-free pasta with a side of fries. It is a great date night place and also a place to just chill with family. I had my wedding rehearsal there and it was a great time.”
“A little pricey, but really good. High quality food. Recommend the insalate toscana, ravioli quattro formaggi, margherita pizza, peroni, mojito, profitteroli, lava cake, and gelato.”
“Amazing place amazing people we came like 20 minutes before closing and the owner said that is OK. He made us best pizza we ever had . Staff was so friendly and nice even if we came little bit late but we couldn’t come on time but still they are so great. Food is so delicious amazed!!! Thank you you guys!!!”
“Food is delicious here. Authentic Neapolitan pizza is the best in town. We also head meatballs and they were just wonderful.”
“Real Italian restaurant and food, pizza is perfect, friendly staff”
“Worst pizza ever!!! I don't know if this place is struggling hard to not afford more than 2 spoonfuls of cheese, but the pizza was ridiculous to say the least. Half the pizza had cheese and was cooked ok, but then some portions was so soft it could have been a mud pie :( I know it's supposed to be thin, but for $49 I THINK NOT! Sucks no restaurants are up to par with quality of food and all the more reason to cook at home literally. Even Pizza Hut could do better than this scammish place no competition whatsoever. Don't waste a penny if you value your bucks for sure!”
