GINO SORBILLO

The best pizza I've ever eaten. I wish I could eat their margheritas every day. I also tried Naples' most famous and oldest pizzeria, but it was not as delicious as the one I had at Sorbillo.

Pizza buona e camerieri disponibili

Sicuramente una delle migliori pizzerie di napoli. Pizza economica ma qualità degli ingredienti altissima.

Good and big pizza, maybe try one for 2 at first. Definitely go for a peroni rossa with it.

Gino Sorbillo is star, running an empire of pizzerias in Milano, Rome, NY, Miami, and Tokyo. But it all started in Via dei Tribunali in Naples, where he and is brother Toto makes some of the finest pizza in the world. I visited Via dei Tribunali with Antonella, Carmen and Anna, with whom I share an important bond not just for pizza, but for Matteo Mevio, a dear friend, and the original pizzeria at Marghe Milano. Gino was a mentor to Matteo, who was originally chosen as the first pizzaiolo at Sorbillo Lievito Madre al Duomo. Out of respect for Matteo, and his mother Antonella, a photo of Matteo and Gino is always on display in the pizza kitchen.

Compared to Gennaro Rapido’s rotecarrett in Milano, Gino and Toto’s pizza is slightly smaller and even tastier. Although Gennaro, head pizza chef at Sorbillo Milano, argues that any great pizza chef can replicate a Napolitan pizza outside of Naples, there’s something about the pizza of Sorbillo in Via dei Tribunali that’s magical. The dough is the perfect consistency and the cheese and tomatoes are even more delicious. The proximity of Sorbillo Naples to Agerola and San Marzano is of course an advantage, but I really wonder if there’s something more…the water perhaps?
