Pizzeria da Franco

Pizzeria da Franco is a late-opening Neapolitan-style pizzeria at Corso Italia 265 in Sorrento, Campania, southern Italy, on the town's main street. The pizzeria serves wood-fired pizza and is known for creative choices such as the Pizza Scostumata and a pulled pork pizza, alongside saltimbocca sandwiches made with pizza dough. The cuisine follows the Neapolitan tradition of a soft, charred crust with simple toppings, while the sandwiches and meat-topped pizzas offer something more filling for visitors who want a casual, hearty meal. The atmosphere is informal and quick, closer to a neighbourhood pizza joint than a sit-down restaurant, with a steady flow of locals and travellers. Noise levels are moderate to lively, and dress is relaxed. Prices are low for Sorrento, at about EUR 10-20 (about USD 12-23) per person, which makes it one of the cheaper ways to eat in town. The drinks list is simple, with beer, soft drinks and house wine. Tripadvisor lists opening hours of 8:00AM to 2:00AM daily, which is unusually long for the area, but visitors should confirm the hours on the day. The late closing makes it a practical option for a post-dinner snack, a late arrival or a bite after a night out. Reservations are not needed outside peak evening hours, and visitors can simply walk in. The Corso Italia location, east of the central square, is close to bus and train connections, so it suits travellers who want a fast meal before moving on. The pizzeria offers a no-frills, budget-friendly option for families, backpackers and anyone looking for pizza at any hour.
