Pizzeria Gorizia 1916

Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 is a historic pizzeria at Via Bernini 29 in the Vomero district of Naples, Campania, Italy. Vomero is the hilltop residential and shopping quarter reached by the city's funiculars, and the pizzeria sits close to the Vomero funicular stations, which makes it a natural stop for visitors who have come up the hill for the views from Castel Sant'Elmo and the Certosa di San Martino. The name points to its founding year of 1916, and it is described as the district's historic pizzeria. The cuisine is Neapolitan pizza, with a soft, well-risen crust and a menu that follows the classic repertoire. The signature dishes are the margherita and pizzas made with buffalo mozzarella, a Campania speciality that gives the topping a creamier, richer taste. The menu also offers other traditional pizzas and some restaurant dishes typical of a neighbourhood pizzeria. The dining room is relaxed and local, with a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere, and it draws residents of the Vomero as well as visitors. There is no dress code. Drinks follow the usual pizzeria pattern, with beer, soft drinks and local wines to match the food. Prices are mid range for the city, at about EUR 7-14 (roughly $8-$16) per pizza, reflecting the better-heeled neighbourhood. Reservations are accepted and are recommended in the evenings, when local families fill the room, and weekends are the busiest. The pizzeria serves lunch and dinner, and hours should be confirmed locally. Reaching Vomero from the centre is straightforward using the Chiaia, Montesanto or Centrale funiculars, and the Via Bernini area is also close to the Vomero metro stop. Visitors often plan the meal around a daytime visit to the hilltop sights and a walk along nearby Via Scarlatti, the main shopping street.
