The Best Pizza Near Tre Olivi, by the Record

  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. 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.


  4. Rank 4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. Rank 6. 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.


  7. 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.


  8. 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.


  9. A pizzeria near the center of Salerno where the oven is in plain sight and the cocktail bar suggests the team takes the full evening seriously. The young crew leans into tradition while quietly experimenting with different flours and toppings, landing on a pizza that's notably light with a gentle crisp at the edge. Fried starters come first, and they're done well enough to hold your attention before the main event.


  10. A mural greets you at the entrance before the visible oven does, which sets the tone for this cheerful Neapolitan-style pizzeria tucked into one of Salerno's old centro storico lanes. The decor keeps things simple and colorful, the service moves fast, and the dough leans toward the soft, yielding end of the Naples tradition. The margherita, marinara, and diavola each get a quiet twist without making a fuss about it.


  11. A pizzeria steps from Salerno's waterfront, with a terrace open year-round and an interior that somebody clearly spent real money on. The dough is soft and well-leavened, and the toppings lean on DOP and Slow Food-certified ingredients from across Campania, from the Vesuvian plains down to Cilento. The fried montanarina alongside the baked version is a nice touch, and the wine list is longer than you'd expect from a pizza place.


  12. 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.


  13. A few steps from Salerno's waterfront, this pizzeria has a look more design hotel than neighborhood joint, and the pies match the ambition. The dough is stretched thin and cooked with precision, toppings leaning on regional tradition without getting precious about it. The pizza a rota 'e carretta is the old-school counter to all that polish, and the fried starters, eggplant meatballs especially, hold their own alongside anything with a crust.


  14. A pizza spot tucked into a little square at the edge of the Amalfi Coast, decorated inside with the hand-painted ceramics Vietri sul Mare is famous for. The dough gets a long, slow rise, and the menu leans into the sea rather than the usual suspects, with pies built around local fish and a fair amount of imagination. The fried starters follow the same coastal logic and are worth ordering. In summer, the square fills in as a terrace.


  15. Rank 15. 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.


  16. Rank 16. 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.


  17. The balance between crust and topping is the house obsession at this Neapolitan-style pizzeria in Cava de' Tirreni, where the chef draws on Cilento roots and Slow Food ingredients to keep things grounded. Two open ovens anchor the modern dining room, one dedicated to gluten-free pies. The fried starters are light and confident rather than heavy. A lively drinks list and attentive service round out what is a neighborhood spot that takes the work seriously.


  18. Tucked behind Amalfi's cathedral, away from the selfie-stick scrum on the main square, this pizza restaurant lines its walls with Vietri ceramics and keeps the mood warm and casual. The contemporary pizzas are light enough to not haunt you on the drive back along the coast road, and the menu leans into Campanian produce, cold cuts, and fried snacks. The wine list covers Campanian classics and pours by the glass.


  19. The dining room at this Tramonti pizzeria looks like someone's nonna never quite got around to redecorating, and that's entirely the point. It's an old-school pizza house serving the local "Tramontine" style, made with heritage grains and offered round or fried. The pizza runs light and easy, the service is genuinely warm rather than performatively so, and the Amalfi Coast outside the window does the rest of the decorating.


  20. Rank 20. 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.


  21. The entrance is through a gas station, which either kills the mood or sets it perfectly. Inside, WIP opens into a spacious, lively pizzeria in Nocera Inferiore with a menu that covers more ground than most: classic rounds, pan pizzas, and a double-cooked style, fried then baked. Fried sides, salads, and sandwiches round things out, and the desserts, including panettone with ice cream, are a genuine afterthought worth having.


  22. The "doppio crunch," a closed, crunchy pizza that lands somewhere between a pie and a gourmet sandwich, gives you a sense of where this pizzeria's head is at. The menu moves across classic rounds, padellino, and pala, with tasting notes built in to help you match format to topping. Fried starters and a thoughtful wine list fill the gaps. The room is bright and minimal, the welcome family-warm, and the village address requires actual intention to find.


  23. The panuozzo is the point here, a stuffed bread from nearby Gragnano that the kitchen treats as a shared centerpiece rather than an afterthought. This is a multi-generation pizzeria in Angri, and the third generation has leaned into leavening and crunch in a way that feels current without abandoning the house roots. Round pizzas are on offer too, and the service moves at a clip. Parking fifty meters away, right off the Naples-Salerno highway exit, which tells you something about the crowd.


  24. A small, two-level pizzeria in Pompeii where the chef came home and put his own name above the door. The draw is dough as a moving target: he rotates through the ruoto style, classic Neapolitan, and reverse-scorched variations, treating each visit as a quiet demonstration of technique. Covers are few, service runs unhurried, and the beverage list is modest. Go for the crust, not the wine list.


  25. The terrace looks out over the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius, Sorrento, and the islands, which is a lot to process while deciding between a margherita and a signature pizza developed with the hotel's executive chef. This is a hotel pizzeria done with real intention, the wine list pulling from a serious cellar rather than an afterthought rack. Classic dishes fill the menu alongside the pizzas, and the service reads as polished without being stiff.


  26. Rank 26. Pizzeria Balbi

    Neapolitan Pizza

    A pizzeria just outside Atripalda's centro storico, with a wood-fired oven in plain sight and a floor team that somehow keeps pace on packed nights without breaking a sweat. The dough is contemporary Neapolitan, airy and a little blistered at the edges, and the gourmet section leans into Irpinian producers in a way that feels local rather than labored. The fried starters, potatoes especially, are worth slowing down for before the pizza arrives.


  27. Neapolitan-style pizza in Avellino, a short walk from the old center, where the pies tend to spill past the plate edge without quite tipping over, which is apparently a fine line worth walking. The menu runs long with variations between tradition and house specialties, and the team will work off-script with seasonal ingredients if you ask. A trattoria kitchen runs alongside the pizza, folding regional recipes into the mix.


  28. A pizzeria set inside a historic palazzo in Torre Annunziata, the whole room given over to Totò memorabilia as a tribute to the film that gave the place its name. The menu leans Neapolitan across several styles, with a light dough and generous toppings. The fried starters are worth ordering, especially the Chiò chiò, a small omelette shaped as a nod to the great comedian. Dinner in the garden, if weather allows, is the obvious move.


  29. A pizzeria in Palma Campania that takes its dough seriously enough to offer several versions of it, from traditional round pies to pizza in pala to double-cooked crusts with real structural ambition. The fried starters hold their own alongside the pizzas, and the ingredients read as chosen rather than just sourced. The room is clean and modern with outdoor seating, the staff pays attention, and the bill won't cause a scene.


  30. A pizzeria at the foot of Vesuvius that leans into the geography: the signature pie arrives as a fried dough base loaded with ragù, shaped to resemble the volcano looming just outside. Classic round pizzas are on offer too, with a soft, airy dough and a properly blistered crust. Ingredients skew local and Vesuvian throughout the menu, the staff are genuinely easy to be around, and the bill won't make you feel like you've been erupted on.


  31. A neighborhood pizzeria in the Nola hinterland where the dough follows the old Neapolitan playbook and the kitchen pays attention to where its ingredients come from. The fried starters come out dry and crisp, which is harder than it sounds. The room is tidy and calm, the kind of place where the welcome feels like it costs nothing extra. Casual and unpretentious, with prices to match the setting.


  32. 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.


  33. Rank 33. Maturazioni

    Contemporary Pizza

    A pizza restaurant in the shadow of Vesuvius where the fried dishes, handed down from mother Rosa, set the tone before the pies even arrive. The contemporary Neapolitan pizza runs soft and airy, but the padellino, baked in a small pan, is the one worth lingering over. Local Vesuvian produce fills the toppings, and the wine list leans into the volcanic terroir. Modern room, fast hands, no pretension.


  34. The fried starters at this Ottaviano pizzeria are what people talk about first, a dry, crisp crust giving way to something soft and properly seasoned inside. The contemporary pies follow the same logic: light, fragrant dough, local toppings that taste like what they are. The drinks list runs to artisanal Campanian wines and beers chosen to sit alongside the food rather than distract from it. Modern room, friendly service, no chaos.


  35. Tables spill onto Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, one of the more beautiful squares Naples has to offer, which sets the tone for a pizzeria that runs with something close to full restaurant service. The menu moves through fried starters and salads before arriving at the pizzas, where Neapolitan tradition and contemporary ideas share the dough without much fuss. Ranked third in 50 Top Pizza Italy, and a Michelin Selected Restaurant.


  36. Rank 36. 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.


  37. Rank 37. Salvo

    Neapolitan Pizza

    A Neapolitan pizza restaurant on the Riviera di Chiaia, a few steps from the waterfront and a world away from tourist-trap pies. The dough here is thin enough that you actually cut it, which in Naples is a quiet statement of intent. The team puts serious effort into sourcing oils and tomatoes, and it shows most clearly in the margherita. The wine list is thoughtful for a pizza place, which is either a nice surprise or exactly what you'd expect from this neighborhood.


  38. Rank 38. I Fontana

    Neapolitan Pizza

    The dough here gets talked about in serious pizza circles, and I Fontana has earned spots on both the 50 Top Pizza Italy and World lists to back that up. It's a Neapolitan pizza spot in Somma Vesuviana where the crust is airy and blistered, toppings lean on produce from the Vesuvian gardens, and the fried starters, croquettes, arancini, the works, are the kind of thing you order while pretending to study the menu.


  39. The pizzeria is the savory offshoot of a long-running Torre del Greco pastry shop, which means dessert here has an unfair advantage. Two indoor rooms and a terrace in the center of town keep things spacious, and the pies lean classic, with fried and baked options and toppings piled without apology. Staff are friendly, the menu tracks the seasons, and if a sandwich sounds better than a pizza, they'll let you build one.


  40. Piazza Mercato sits well outside Naples' tourist drag, which is exactly why the locals are already three slices ahead of you at Bro. It's a pizza restaurant run by two brothers whose dough is soft and light but still generous in the old Neapolitan tradition. The fried starters are worth the visit on their own. The room is modern and comfortable, and the beer and Campanian wine list keeps pace with the food.


  41. The homepage opens with four words: "Beauty, Origin, Vision, Evolution." It's a lot to put on a pizza, but this Campanian pizzeria, renamed for its chef after years under another name, earns the weight. The kitchen runs with a visible oven and a menu that moves from the great Neapolitan classics through fried starters and montanare to more personal, territory-driven pies. Ranked 16th on 50 Top Pizza Italy, it draws the kind of guests who come back.


  42. A Neapolitan pizza joint that transplanted itself, fully formed, to the center of a small Irpinian town. The dough is the classic southern style: bold, direct, with a restrained crust that stays out of its own way. Campanian ingredients run throughout, with a few Slow Food presidium products in the mix. The room is warm and unpretentious, with bits of Naples on the walls for anyone who needs the reminder of where the allegiances lie.


  43. The menu is two pizzas: Margherita or Marinara, full stop. This old-school Neapolitan pizzeria has been running that same tight operation forever, issuing numbered tickets and calling diners in turn, which means you'll spend some time on a bench getting to know a stranger from somewhere else entirely. The room is loud and packed and not at all sorry about it. Come knowing your order, because the only real decision is whether you want garlic.


  44. Rank 44. Gino Sorbillo

    Neapolitan Pizza


  45. A Neapolitan pizza spot in Volla where the crust stays slim and the cornicione knows when to stop. The menu pulls in Campania with a Sicilian detour, so the fried arancina land alongside the pizza, not as an afterthought. The room is spacious and modern, and the family running it treats the place like it matters, which it turns out it does. Listed in 50 Top Pizza Italy's Excellent Pizzerias.


  46. A pizzeria in the small town of Volla where the dough is soft, highly hydrated, and handled with obvious care. The menu moves between classic Neapolitan tradition and something more personal, leaning on Vesuvian produce, local cheeses and cold cuts, and single-cultivar oils finished at the table. The fried things come out dry and golden, which is harder than it sounds. A young, easy-moving team runs a modern room that never feels stiff.


  47. Rank 47. Don Crosta

    Modern Pizza

    A pizza named after Sunday broth, filled with the scent of slow-cooked meat and vegetables and finished with a Parmesan crust, tells you what kind of pizzeria Don Crosta is: the kind where the menu has something to say. The space is modern and relaxed, with a terrace when the weather cooperates. Beyond the contemporary pies, there are focaccias, fried dishes, and a wine list that leans into Vesuvian labels.


  48. The traditional oven sits at the center of the room, which tells you something about how this Neapolitan-area pizzeria sees itself. Two spacious, informal rooms mean a full house never feels chaotic, and a separate gluten-free section is handled with the same care as everything else. The dough is light and properly leavened, the fried starters hold their own against the main event, and the desserts are worth leaving room for.


  49. A pizzeria in Potenza where the dough choices are genuinely the draw: the whole-grain multigrain arrives toasted and fragrant, while the tomato-water version produces a golden, lightly crisp crust that somehow still feels clean on the palate. The kitchen takes fermentation and hydration seriously without making you sit through a lecture about it. Fried starters are the right way to open, the service keeps everything moving, and the wine and beer list pairs sensibly with the rest.


  50. The minimalist decor does a lot of the talking at this Casalnuovo pizzeria, where the room is dressed with more care than most places bother with. The pizza lands somewhere between classic and contemporary, grounded in traditional pantry staples and whatever's good that day. The fried starters, homemade and ranging from old-school to more inventive, are worth ordering before you even open the pizza menu.


  51. A wood-burning oven visible from the dining room sets the tone at this pizza shop tucked down a side street near the Central Station. The room is compact and unpretentious, with simple furnishings that nod to an older Naples. The dough is soft and well-hydrated, the fried offerings short in number but careful in execution. Regulars who know what they want skip the photographic menu entirely, though it's a nice touch.


  52. A pizzeria in the Campania hinterland where the chef works the counter with the focus of someone who takes local ingredients very seriously, landing somewhere between old-school pizza maker and thoughtful cook. The room keeps its cheerful pizzeria soul despite a recent tidy-up, and the service holds its own on a busy Friday. It ranked 56th on 50 Top Pizza World, which for a spot outside Naples says something on its own.


  53. A dough built from type 0, wholemeal, and wheat germ flours gives the pizzas here a crispness and lightness that quietly sidesteps the pillowy Neapolitan orthodoxy everyone else seems to be chasing. This is a casual, neighbourhood pizzeria in Potenza with an informal, young energy and a menu rooted in Lucanian identity. The fried starters are worth the detour, and the craft beer selection leans local. Named among Italy's excellent pizzerias by 50 Top Pizza.


  54. Fried pizzas share the menu with the classics here, and the prices stay low enough that nobody's doing the math before ordering. This is a neighborhood pizzeria on Piazza Mercato doing old-school Neapolitan without the tourist markup, the stark room packed with families and regulars who clearly didn't come for the decor. Simple, fast, and rooted in the daily rhythm of the square around it.


  55. A recently renovated pizzeria off a main road in the Benevento countryside, with an open oven visible from the dining room and a bright, cheerful interior that signals someone put thought into the space. The dough is soft and contemporary, and the toppings lean on local Sannio producers. The frittata is worth ordering alongside, and the margherita gets a quiet nod from regulars who know to ask for it.


  56. The fried pizza here comes folded into a cartwheel shape, which is either a gimmick or just how they've always done it, and in Naples the line between the two is thin. This is a classic pizzeria in the historic center, all tuff stone walls, painted altars, and Neapolitan kitsch done with enough conviction to feel like atmosphere rather than decor. Maria Cacialli runs it, daughter of the man who famously fed Bill Clinton a slice in 1994.


  57. Sitting along the old Appian Way, this family-run pizzeria turns out contemporary Neapolitan pies on dough that's light and well hydrated. The menu ranges from straightforward classics to combinations leaning on Sannio cheeses and cured meats, and the fried starters, especially the pasta frittatas, are worth ordering before the pizza arrives. The room is minimal and modern, the kind of place that works for an easy weeknight dinner without any fuss.


  58. A pizza spot run by three friends out of an old palazzo in Basilicata, with natural materials and warm light keeping things grounded without the usual designer fuss. The dough is the point: long-fermented, light, dry-edged, and never heavy. Ingredients lean hard on Vulture-area producers, some tied directly to the partners' own farms. The wine list follows the same regional logic. It landed on 50 Top Pizza Italy, which tracks.


  59. Murals of Totò by artist Andrea Petrone line the walls of this Neapolitan pizzeria near the old university quarter, so there's a kind of art-house energy to eating your margherita. The fried starters, especially the zucchini flowers, are worth ordering before the pizza arrives. Pies run generous and the dough gets the high heat it needs. Staff are warm without being theatrical about it, which in this part of Naples is its own small achievement.


  60. A Neapolitan-tradition pizzeria in Acerra where the fried starters arrive perfectly crisp and greaseless, which sets the tone nicely. Round pies come in classic and cartwheel sizes, the dough old-school, the toppings built from fresh ingredients. The room is cozy and familiar, the kind of place where the warmth of the service feels less like policy and more like the town itself. Expect a wait at peak hours, and plan to stay for it.


  61. A neighborhood pizzeria steps from the Chiostro di Santa Chiara, where the simpler the order, the better the result. The menu leans into the soul of old Naples: the Rosone with sausage and friarielli is built for sharing, and the Provolella arrives with real character. The wine and beer list is chosen to sit alongside the pizza rather than compete with it. Warm staff, two floors, and a crowd that came for dinner, not a destination.


  62. A pizza parlor inside a 13th-century church, where the vaults overhead and a mural of the Last Supper make the room feel a bit like the holiest slice you'll ever eat. The menu leans into it: pies are named after the twelve apostles. The dough is soft, the ingredients are good, and the setting is the kind of thing people describe in hushed tones before immediately ordering another round.
