Antica Pizzeria da Attilio

Antica Pizzeria da Attilio is a neighbourhood pizzeria at Via Pignasecca 17 in the Pignasecca and Montesanto area of Naples, Campania, Italy. Via Pignasecca is one of the city's oldest street markets, running at the edge of the Quartieri Spagnoli, and the pizzeria draws a mix of market traders, residents and visitors who have wandered in from the stalls. The cuisine is traditional Neapolitan pizza, baked in a wood-fired oven with a soft, thick-rimmed crust. The margherita is the foundation of the menu, and a local favourite is the pizza topped with friarielli, the bitter Neapolitan greens, and sausage, a combination widely regarded as a classic of the city. Prices are very low, with pizzas around EUR 5-10 (about $6-$11.50), which suits a casual lunch after exploring the market. The dining room is simple and informal, with plain tables, a busy open oven and a noise level that rises with the lunchtime crowd; there is no dress code. Drinks are basic: soft drinks, beer and house wine. The pizzeria generally operates for lunch and dinner on most days, though opening times can vary and are best confirmed locally. Reservations are not strictly required, as the pizzeria is largely walk-in, but booking is recommended in the evening when the room fills. The location puts the pizzeria within walking distance of Via Toledo, the Montesanto funicular and metro, and Piazza Dante, so it works well as a stop on a walking route through the historic centre. Visitors often browse the Pignasecca market first, sampling fruit, fish and street snacks, before settling in for a pizza. Cash is the safest payment method at small neighbourhood venues like this one.
