Naples is the birthplace of pizza, at least the Neapolitan pizza, particularly margherita pizza. Pizza has since changed and morphed over the years, notably after being reimagined by Italian American immigrants, but pizza in Naples is still considered to be very high quality and among the best in the world, at least by many pizza enthusiasts. And the best pizza in Naples, and therefore arguably the best pizza in Italy? Maybe say it is Pizzeria Da Michele.
Its full name is technically L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, and it is both one of the first ever pizzas ever, or at least one of the first Neapolitan pizzas, but it is also notably the Naples pizza from Eat Pray Love, starring Julia Roberts. I want to see if Da Michele is worth the hype, so I went to Naples to eat there. But I decided to also compare it against a local place, to see if Da Michele is overrated or not and if local pizzas in Naples are just as good as supposedly the best pizza in Naples. You’ll be getting a lot of authentic Neapolitan pizza in this video so I hope you enjoy it!

Oftentimes, my interactions with passersby in these vids have involved karens and entitled people. But this time, I experienced kindness. Jenna didn't want me to lose my spot in line just because I didn't have cash, so she insisted on paying for my pie. Of course, I insisted on paying her back. There are many karens out there who stand out, but there are also many good people. I'd even say most people are good.
😂
Your facial expressions crack me up when you start reviewing the food. Sometimes I can't tell if you're enjoying it or hating it, LOL.
Best pizza in Naples is easily Pizzeria Carmnella
Jesus Christ these people really have nothing better to do than to make a line for pizza …. Get a job or something
Haha, the other place was better. We saw it on his face immediately.
Change the name from ua eats to ua never stops talking!
Michel?? learn to at least pronounce the name correctly….Michel🤦
I think if we have learned anything from these videos in Italy.. We as citizens of the USA are getting absolutely cornholed on food prices. 2 places around me that aren't chains on average are charging $15 for a Margherita pizza that size… literally double or more than double what he just paid.. oh and I live in Mississippi… let that sink in..
Si legge mikkele.
Thanks for your honest review. I was last year also in Neapels and had the same feeling and experience. To be honest Michele Pizza is just bad.
Just went there today. They only had 4 pizza on the menu. I went to the exact same place
America makes the best pizza not italy.
You're a hard critic bro why don't you critique some egg rolls or something
Dude, shut up and eat. You say the same thing ten times. Eat, then do a concise review.
UA, what were you thinking with trying to pay with American dollars? You could go to an ATM and get some Euros. You can't depend on everyone taking credit cards.
I know someone named Michele. It’s a male name that’s essentially Michael. But the pronunciation is the same as Michaela.
Also, “grazie” is two syllables. Graat-zi.
If UA or any one else wants to know what the ultimate crispy (crunchy) on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside is, just google Gary Larson and polar bear. PS- it aint a pizza
By the way, businesses in Italy are required by law to accept credit cards, no matter how small the amount.
Insta-influencers have to visit the popular place for content. Sad shit. Glad you preferred the next-door place. The crust looked airy in the former.
Ah, it was featured in the Boberts-wagon. F it.
Pay the accordion man to go away. Only way to really get rid of them, aside from an elaborate flurry of hand gestures you don't know.
"The Vessuviana, she maka you ass errupta!" [kisses fingers]
Just don't order a mineral water unless you are willing to chew it a bit.
Look at that. Pizza doesn't always need to be cancerously coal-fired or wood-fired. Whoddah Thunk?!😆 I'm FROM bitiminous coal country and I do not want to taste that in pizza crust. The EU outlawed that for a reason. Gas and propane are better. Electric does dry it out if you aren't careful.
People think this is good pizza? Wow…
Open your eyes and eat pizza the right way
wow what a mess
Better ingredients but i think id prefer american pizza. Dont think id be a fan of the texture.
I had a frozen Newmans Own brand pizza lastnjght that looks remarkably similar to those.
I think its more the atmosphere that gives it taste, more than the actual ingredients
