The Best Pizza Near Angiolina, by the Record

Rank 1. Pizza Secret
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza spot tucked into Casal Velino Marina by a chef who built his name in the States before bringing it home. The dough is contemporary Neapolitan, long-fermented and light, with a proper puffy crust, and you can order the wide "ruota di carro" style if you want the full wheel. Local Cilento ingredients mix with ideas carried back from America. The fried starters hold up, the drinks list is unfussy, and the front of house runs warm without trying too hard.

Rank 2. L’Ammaccata
Pizza
A restored stone farmhouse in Cilento, with its own mill on-site and a vegetable garden just outside the door. The pizza here is built around the ammaccata, an old local flatbread tradition, made with ancient grains and kept deliberately simple so the ingredients can actually speak. The dough is light and fragrant, which sounds like a given until you eat one. It landed on 50 Top Pizza Italy, a ranking worth knowing.

Rank 3. Stratto
Cilento Pizza
The name comes from a Cilento dialect word for homemade tomato extract, which tells you everything about where this pizzeria's loyalties lie. Tomatoes run through the whole menu, from the appetizers to the pies, with the local Cilentana topping hers with cooked sauce and goat cacioricotta. The crust spreads thin and wide, leaning crispy, and lands lighter than it looks. The room is bright and a little colorful, the oven is in plain sight, and the service is warm without being fussy.
-
Rank 4. Le Grotticelle
Pizza
A pizzeria sitting a thousand meters above sea level on the border of Campania and Basilicata, where the kitchen forages the surrounding hills, ages its own cheeses in on-site caves, and grows vegetables in a high-altitude garden. The wood-and-stone dining room feels rooted in its landscape, and the panoramic terrace makes the drive up feel obvious in retrospect. Ranked in the 50 Top Pizza Italy and World lists.

A pizza shop on Agropoli's port square where the menu runs from classic rounds to padellino and Quadrotti, the team's take on Roman-style paddle pizza. The dough is made with biga and rests at high hydration, landing somewhere noticeably light without fuss about it. The Cilento coast does the decorating through the window, and the philosophy in the kitchen is careful without being precious about it.
-
A hilltop pizzeria outside Paestum where the terrace takes in a sweep from the Cilento mountains to the sea, which is a fine thing to be looking at while waiting for your pizza. The dough leans rustic, the toppings lean local, and you can order by the meter if you're feeling ambitious or feeding a crowd. A relaxed, no-fuss room where a summer evening can disappear quite pleasantly.
-
Rank 7. BorgOtto
Pizza
A pizzeria in the historic center of Capaccio Paestum, where the dough is made with ancient grain flours and given a long, slow fermentation before it sees any heat. The signature move is the Farruoto, a wheel-shaped pizza built on spelt flour dough. There's an outdoor terrace in summer, a dedicated dessert menu that people take seriously, and a wine and beer list chosen to match. Named on 50 Top Pizza Italy's Excellent Pizzerias list.
-
Rank 8. Strabordo
Neapolitan Pizza
The oven is visible from the dining room, which tells you where the priorities are. Strabordo is a contemporary Neapolitan-style pizzeria sitting at the far edge of Salerno province, practically at the Basilicata border, and the dough shows the soft, airy crust that style demands. Seasonal local ingredients get serious attention, and the fried things, especially the croquettes, are not an afterthought. The room is bright and modern, the kind of place that knows exactly what it is.
-
A pizzeria in the small piazza of Sicignano degli Alburni that has quietly become the go-to spot for the province of Salerno. The dough is soft and well-leavened, and the menu runs from pizza by the slice to fried homemade dishes. Local crusco peppers show up on the house pizza, which is a good reason to skip the deliberating and just order it. Young staff, decent wine and beer, no fuss.
-
Rank 10. Charlot Artigiani della Pizza
Neapolitan Pizza
The oven is right there at the entrance, so you know exactly what you're walking into. This is a pizza spot in the center of Praia a Mare, where a 24-hour dough produces a soft, fragrant crust topped with Maratea sausage and Calabrian broccoli. The small fried pizzas in carbonara and Nerano styles are worth the detour on their own. Service moves fast, the outdoor space fills up, and a reservation is a reasonable idea.
-
Rank 11. Fa’ Tu
Contemporary Pizza
A pizza shop in a new space on Via Ruffilli, Fa' Tu is run by a team obsessed with fermentation and long leavening, which sounds technical until the crust arrives: light, fragrant, and clearly the point of the whole operation. The dough uses 100% Italian wheat at 70% hydration, and the toppings lean into Calabrian ingredients, 'nduja, Tropea onion, local pecorino, the kind of pantry a region spends centuries building.
-
A wood-fired oven faces the sea on Scalea's lungomare, and the dough here gets the long, careful leavening that makes Neapolitan-style pizza feel light rather than heavy. This is a straightforward pizzeria, the kind where the crust does the talking, with a fluffy cornicione, a well-balanced sauce, and a crisp underside. The fried pizza pulls its own weight too, in both the classic and the contemporary styles.
-
A pizzeria on the Calabrian coast where the dough gets a 36-hour rise before it sees any heat, which gives the Neapolitan-style crust a lightness that tends to make people pause mid-slice. The menu splits into traditional, special, and margherita categories, but the local options are where things get interesting, pulling in 'nduja, peperone crusco, and octopus marinated in cedar from the surrounding territory.
-
Rank 14. I Borboni
Contemporary Pizza
A pizza spot in Pontecagnano that splits its attention between classic rounds and pan-fried double-baked slices with seasonal toppings, which is a more interesting menu architecture than most places bother with. The team roots everything in Campanian ingredients while still pushing into creative combinations. The wine list leans heavily regional, and the beer runs mostly artisanal. It landed at number 37 on 50 Top Pizza Italy, if you want a benchmark.
-
A pizza shop where the oven sits in plain sight and the family runs the floor without making a fuss about it. The contemporary-style pies have a pronounced crust, a thin base, and toppings that don't fight each other. The fried starters are the quiet surprise, coming out light and greaseless. A separate certified kitchen handles gluten-free orders, which regulars from across the province of Salerno apparently take seriously.
-
Rank 16. Pizzeria Negri
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza spot that's been around forever, and looks it in the best possible, unfussy sense: tiled rooms, traditional chairs, tablecloths and branded napkins that signal a family taking their name seriously. The dough runs notably light, the fried starters, mozzarella in carrozza, montanara, croquettes, arrive at the right temperature, which matters more than it sounds. A section of the menu is devoted to artists who've passed through over the decades.
-
Rank 17. Robertino Cupo
Contemporary Pizza
A contemporary pizza spot just off the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway, Robertino Cupo makes the case that pizza is a form of regional identity. The dough is high-hydration with biga, the crust slightly pronounced, and the toppings lean into local tradition without letting them overwhelm the base. The fried menu and a potato-focused section celebrate the Alburni hills. A spacious, well-kept room with a new outdoor terrace that handles aperitifs and small events.
-
A neighborhood pizzeria in Salerno where the Neapolitan playbook, thin base and a lightly crispy crust, has stayed the same even as the room grew and a second oven arrived. The menu splits neatly between the classics and seasonal specials that follow the chef's own curiosity. The atmosphere is spartan in the way that suggests the money went into the dough, and the place moves fast, which the regulars seem to count on.
