Cool atmosphere, good customer service and an amazing food, at least the gnocchi 4 cheese e/ truffle I get was delicious! Want to come back for pizza!

A great place for authentic Italian food. The pizzas were wonderful and the service was fast, despite it being a really busy Saturday.
š„©Polpette ($28) Veal & pork meatballs, napoli ragu, pecorino cheese & pane di casa
š4Salumi ($24) Fior di latte, tomato, ham, sausage, mild salami & hot salami
šPizza Elena ($24) Fior di latte, burrata, tomato, eggplant, parmesan, pepper & basil
We definitely ordered more than we needed to (for two people) but we wanted variety. Don't worry, we took the leftover pizza home and it was still delicious the next day!
The meatballs were full of flavour, great dipping the bread in the sauce. Whenever we get pizzas, we try to have a balance between heavy and light. I picked the Elena because I love burrata, it tasted so good with the other ingredients and added a creamy texture. The 4Salami was so filling and the spicy salami really stood out. Also, the dough was impeccable, so soft and chewy.
Bf review: the flavour (of the 4Salumi) was intense and amazing

Happy that the gentleman I was with let me choose his pizza, so I ordered my 2 favourite pizzas to share, the one with fior di latte and prosciutto and calzone with ricotta and ham. Even if Napoli style pizza with the big crust is not my favourite, they were both really delicious and the ingredients fresh. Waiters were polite, when I came here few years ago I remember the service was not that good.
I like they can move the windows making an open space in summer, but itās always too crowded.

Via Napoli definitely lived up to expectations!
A friend (who used to live in Sydney) and I were in visiting from Melbourne over the weekend and she recommended we go to Via Napoli for dinner on Saturday evening.
We had the Mozzarella Impanata for entree, and a mixed leaf salad & a 50cm pizza (half Quattro Salumi/half Capricciosa) for main. The deep fried mozzarella was so good and the sauce that came with it was great.
The mixed leaf salad was simple but a good offset to the stronger flavours from the entree and pizza.
The pizza was amazing - the base was thin, the crust was fluffy, and the toppings were great. I loved the sausage on the Quattro Salumi. Capricciosa is one of my favourite pizza flavours ever and this one was awesome.
For dessert we had warm chocolate cake with ice cream - this too was delicious. The cake was beautiful and I loved the oozy centre. We also had a couple of espresso martiniās each - some of the best Iāve ever had. The Pasqua rose was also really good.
I highly recommend Via Napoli to anyone visiting Sydney.
Went to Via Napoli for an anniversary date and I couldnāt fault a single thing. Considering how full the restaurant was and the lengths of the lines outside for walk ins and bookings I couldnāt fault the service of the team. The workers were regularly checking on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves which is appreciated. This wasnāt my first time dining at Via Napoli, I was here 2 years ago and the food has gotten better, if anything. The 50cm pizzas is the perfect size for 2 with an appetite! The food came out not long after ordering and everything was fresh and amazing - Via Napoli is the perfect Italian restaurant chain for an authentic tasting meal.
I always enjoy the pizza here. Thin base and just the right amount of topping. Great atmosphere and very much reminds me of being back in Italy as they waiting staff are all Italian! #pizzatime #pizzaparty #pizzalover
Iāve been to this lovely place a few times with family and friends and it never disappoints. They have great food, great service and a nice ambiance in there although sometimes it can be very loud so keep that in mind.
I recommend this place for nice homey Italian food.
Get the Truffle pizza! This place compares to the pizza places Iāve been to in Italy :) i never like eating the crust but this place has a good one.
good service even if they can get very busy. Looking forward to trying more!
We had a 30 ppl+ birthday group dinner there. We had the set menu and im really impressed by their accomodating service. We had a few people running late and they were patient to serve all of them. I love the energy they gave out when they presented each platter. Food was great of course. Even until the end we were past our time limit, they still let us stay a bit longer for the cake cutting! Thank you so much Via Napoli! You made our night!
I love the pizzas here. Yes, they are among the best in Sydney and as we found out when we went to Napoli later on, actually authentic. Of course, it's also pretty cool to be able to order half a metre and metre long pizzas. And even better that you can choose different toppings for different sections of your pizza. But it is hard work eating here. We were a group and made a booking but we still had to wait for a while when we arrived which was a bit confusing. The place was packed to the brim and our table was very cramped. Service is great though and I love being able to watch them make the pizzas. Prices are not too bad. I would love to go again but I don't know if I can be bothered to wait.
This is my ideal pizza base - puffy edges you can tear off and a thin base. The toppings are also sooo tasty. We ordered the Burratina and Capricciosa. The Burratina was my favourite because it came with a giant ball of Burrata in the middle and I love cheese. Both fantastic though
Came here on a Sunday evening at around 8pm, Motherās Day.
Been wanting to come here for a while to see what the fuss is about.
Loving the Italian bistro style decor. The restaurant is very bright, vibrant and full of life. The staff are friendly and super energetic.
You can get 1 metre long pizzas to share, or even a 5 metre long on selected pizzas. This is a place to bring your whole family or a group function.
The pizza was lovely, truly authentically Italian. My entree was even tastier - I cannot remember what it was called but I had eggplant, mozzerella, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. I could have had that dish as seconds!!
Didnāt get any drinks that night but would love to come back to try their wine list.
Instagram factor: maybe during the day with a super long pizza.
I would describe this restaurant as chaotic. We made a booking for 2 for 8pm on a Friday night and got seated at 8:15, it seemed that other people who did not make a booking got seated before us (there was like 2 different queues divided up). I guess they would have been waiting a while.. However, once we got into the restaurant the service was fast and friendly and the food was excellent so no complaints there!!
Super crowded pizzeria whenever I pass by Crown St. We went by earlier one day and luckily could get a table for 4. We were greeted by very lovely and friendly service right at the door till we pay our bill at the end. They offer a variety of pizza and pasta options, very generous portion and pretty value for money too! Our meal was very enjoyable and I wouldnāt mind coming back for some comfort Italian food.
Booked dinner for a Friday night. This restaurant is really busy & staff are always on the go. Great ambience, energetic & lively, though can get really loud. Staff were friendly & always checking if you wanted more drinks.
We ordered a mix of antipastos for the table, the aranchini & proscuitto were delicious. We also had a 50cm half & half pizza, one half was the wrong order. The staff quickly fixed this up for us & gave us another whole pizza free of charge. Pizza tasted yum, fresh & the tomato base is what you should get at every Italian restaurant.

We wandered upon Via Napoli in Surry Hills after we arrived to our initially planned restaurant, only to find it closed an hour early for cleaning. Oh well!
We were greeted by the owner at the door and were treated as old friends, with jokes and hands shook. It was around 9:30pm when we arrived and the joint was bustling with people, which we took as a good sign.
We were seated promptly and found the servers to be very attentive, as they came around often to check how everything was and to see if we needed anything.
We got the Storte ve Dritte Vene 13 inch pizza between two. It was very tasty and had the traditional wood fire pizza flavour. Lots of cheesy goodness, hot salami, and crunchy crust stuffed with ham and cheese. Very good and filling.
We started with the calamari with aioli and lemon. Taste was nice and not too much crumbed coating either.
For desert, shared a pannacotta and a chocolate mousse. The mousse was topped with whipped cream, and was extremely rich and smooth. The pannacotta was topped with mixed berries and a berry sauce. It had a nice creamy taste without being too sweet. My partner (who lacks a sweet tooth) preferred it to the mousse, but I say give me a good, rich chocolate mousse any day!
Overall, an excellent meal, prompt and friendly service, and not terribly dear when sharing between two. Were I a local, I'd probably come back once or twice.
Great atmosphere and friendly service - efficient and fast. Good place for large groups. Check out the impressive metre long pizza, antipasto, pasta and wine selection. Three venues to choose from.
Amazing authentic Pizzas! Came here last night with a group of 9. Had the $50 set menu which included the antipasto platter & 2 x 1m pizzas with 6 toppings.
Service was quite good given it was 7pm on a Friday night & the place was busy as.
Would definitely recommend trying it out.
Excellent food, good service, atmosphere and price. We had a group of six on a busy Friday night, and whilst we booked at 7pm, some arrived 15mins early, others 25mins late, and the staff were fine with that. We had the big sharing boards of antipasti and pizza. It was all great. Only downside is it is loud - it was busy, there were a lot of high spirited young people, and the decor is all hard surfaces.
This place is amazing. Service is great, everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Pizza is AMAZING. Overall great experience! Will be back!
Yum! Best pizza in town. Try this place any chance you get! But don't go to late or you won't get a table. You also have to try the desserts. The canoli are fresh and hand made!

Driving down Crown Street you canāt help but notice the filled to the brim Italian Pizzaria called Via Napoli. First starting in the North of Sydney has now moved into the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, they have 3 locations across town.Ā To ensure you can get a table make sure you book well in advance as this place does book out.
The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. For aĀ 1 metre pizza you can ask for three different flavours ranging from $42 - $60 depending on what you order and that is more than enough food for 2-3 people. The quality of the food, the pizzas and antipasto platters in particular,Ā is amazing. the only reason this revirew is not a 4.5 star is due to the service.
Although people like there food to be quick, they don't like to feel rushed. We understand the restaurant is busy but in saying that, upon sitting down, we were bombarded with waiters asking do you know what you want,Ā we'll be right back, literally in 1min, pressuring you again. The service isĀ very rushed, because there is a 2 hour seating window it is very quick quick quick and can be quite off putting to some, even though, 2hours is a long time.Ā However they are very friendly offering hugs and compliments to all customers as if they are welcoming you into their home and quickly trying to get you out at the same time.
I love this place, 50aud p/p u can eat a big Italian antipasto to share, plus half meter of pizza,it's a lot for 2 people, 50aud p/p is a good price, the food is very delicious, traditional Italian food by Naples, and the staff is so friendly sometimes also funny,everything is amazing!! I Love this place!!

This. Is. Pizza.
This is perfection. If you're wondering why this place has such a comparatively low (3.2) rating, you should look at all the reviews and see that all the 1.0 ratings are from the same bunch of semi-illiterate morons who ate together and didn't like the service but fail to critique the food. Notice how many reviews they've done? Notice how they didn't order their own food? Notice how they were not all on time?
Anyway, this place is always packed and there is sometimes a line to get in. Calm down and wait. It is worth it.
The pizza here will make you burst into your best/worst Italian impressions. I went with a vaguely racist Tony Soprano "Oh, Ma Don'! You belie' dis guy?" after every bite. Feel free to do a Goodfellas or Godfather one yourself.
The base is thin and crusty like a supermodel in the morning. You can actually taste the quality of the dough. Once you have this base, you will develop hipster-levels of scorn for people who order Dominos and dare to call it pizza.
And the toppings are minimal but beautifully weighted and chosen. Almost all of the pizzas are just combinations of cheese and a cured meat, but they are all so good.
I had the prosciutto and rocket, and swapped slices with some friends. I don't even know what they ordered, but I'm pretty sure it was the culinary equivalent of an orgasm. With cheese.
But please don't eat here. I don't want the line to be any longer than it usually is.
Came here with a group of 9 people, was very surprised by how busy the restaurant was, though of course we had a booking. Even though it was an incredibly busy Friday night, and we had a booking for 8, they were very willing to accommodate the extra person without the slightest hesitation. Absolutely top notch service š.
We ordered a 2 meter pizza as well as a 1 meter pizza afterward and were incredibly surprising at how quickly both pizzas came out. I have never been to a restaurant where the pizza came out so quickly after ordering, especially considering its a 2 meters pizza, 5 different varieties in one and how busy the restaurant was. The chefs are š machines!
Every slice of those pizzas were amazing. Some of the best Napoli style pizza I've had. The staff were incredibly friendly and even gave complimentary rounds of Limoncello, twice! And there was 9 of us!
Recommend, and would eat again, with a reservation of course. š

Found the service quite abrupt at times e.g feeling rushed to place our food and drink orders.
However, the food it very good indeed. You canāt go wrong with their famous pizzas. Good place to take large groups of friends. ā@foodiesguidetosydney
I came here with my parents about a month ago and we had such an incredible time! All the staff were really knowledgable and recommended great wines to go with the food we ordered. They were so friendly, passionate and full of fun that the atmosphere was absolutely unbeatable! The pizza is outstanding and the portions are huge! We got the bruschetta which is out of this world. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good food and a lively atmosphere.
Very friendly service. One MAJOR FLAW was they told us that they would give us more food since each entree that we ordered had roughly 4 pieces/dish,but there were 9 of us. They didn't inform us that we would be charged for them! They should of asked us if it was ok before just casually bringing out food and charging us for it. Another thing that bugged me was the staff kept on taking our plates from us and it felt like we were subtly being asked to leave quickly.
On the other hand, good was good but for me personally the pizza (we ordered the 1m pizza) didn't have that 'wow!' Factor to it. The base texture was quite similar to turkish bread. We ordered a few entrees (see pics). I really enjoyed the potato chips and the zucchini flowers. They were really unique and would definitely recommend to try !
This place has some of the best pizza in Sydney. The service is friendly and fun and the pizza is delicious, fresh and served fast. Only disappointment is that it's not BYO.
Went with mates for a post-uni dinner.
Ordered the Calamari and Prosciutto with Burrata Cheese for Entree.
Both were absolutely delicious. Prosciutto had a delayed punchy taste which was complemented beautifully by the soft and milky cheese. Calamari was fresh, although greater quantity would have been good.
Ordered a 1m pizza for the Main, with Mixed Seafood ($15 extra), Siciliana and Quattro toppings.
Mixed Seafood was excellent, with Mussels, fresh Prawns, calamari. Quattro topping was perfect, with one of the meats being very spicy. Siciliana topping was a bit disappointing however. Crust was probably one of the best in Sydney, but still did not taste as good as the crust in Italy.
Also had the Chinotto drink.
Altogether, wonderful meal and was really impressed with the quality of the food, and the value (came down to $29 after splitting the costs). Service was good as well. Great atmosphere too.
Booked for 8pm on Saturday night. Several groups were waiting outside while one guy was running around getting people in and out. Got a table after a 15 min wait.
We got the set menu at $50 pp with an entree platter and 1 metre pizza. Entree platter was huge with a good variety: seafood, cheeses, prosciutto and bruschetta.
Pizza consisted of three different flavours that we chose - loved the thin crispy crust but some pieces got quite soggy.
Atmosphere is hectic and very loud. Staff are friendly and also quite loud, presenting their huge pizzas with great enthusiasm.
Food comes out super quick which was great but I definitely got the vibe that they were trying to get people in and out as quick as possible.
Overall, food was tasty and I came with friends so I enjoyed myself and didn't mind the loudness too much. But I wouldn't rush back.
Ok, I am not born with a passion for Napoli style pizza, I have to say that I become quite a lover here in Sydney and Via Napoli make me appreciated this kind of pizza even more. The burrata with prosciutto, omg, is sensationally good, soft and creamy, yum! This place is little bit too much busy and noisy for me to say that absolutely I can't wait to go back but was a good experience and if it happen for you to be close, absolutely deserve to be tried.

I really enjoyed myself on the 2 occasions I've visited. Granted not the best Italian out there but still very good and what they lack in the food department we assure you they make up for in atmosphere and service and set up.
Yes at times they look frazzled and run off their feet but they still get the job done and that's all that matters

Bring your entourage & get your pizza on! The 1 meter pizza allows you to choose 4 flavours & you might have doubts that its a gimmick and wont taste goos but that is far from the truth here. The pizza is authentic Neapolitan style with amazing toppings just as you would find in Italy. One of the best pizzas in Sydney in fact. The scarmoza (smoked cheese) is also delicious as an appetiser as is the pannacotta with its textbook wobble.

Walked past an old cafe on Crown street one evening and noticed it unusually busy until we looked up and realised it was taken over by Via Napoli. Initially, we were not thinking about Italian until a platter caught our eye where pieces of transparently thin prosciutto lined the wooden paddle; a perfectly round glistening ball of buffalo mozzarella lay sitting on top, with a few scampis keeping them company. This was enough to draw us in. We didn't book but was immediately made to feel welcomed by the very hospitable manager.
The first thing I need to talk about is the service. Probably the best service from an Italian restaurant of its class ever experienced. The placed was packed on a Friday night and the staff were immediately friendly, energetic and enthusiastic. You won't find waiters who pretend to ignore you here when its so busy. In fact they are alert and can anticipate that you wanted their attention just by lifting your head. I couldn't speak highly enough of every single staff member here.
We didn't see the platter on the menu so asked the waiter who keenly recommended that he could put a platter together with a bit of everything. Although the presentation of the various platters that came out is very appealing, a word of warning to potential diners must be given here. The waiter listed a few items that we could want on the platter and we decided it was a good idea.Ā
The platter itself came with grilled prawns, scampi, prosciutto sitting on a bed of rocket. It was nicely presented and everything was cooked perfectly and fresh. The prosciutto was good quality and there were two massive balls of buffalo cheese (too much for 2 people). Potential diners must know that the items put together does not mean that the platter option would be cheaper although seemingly insinuated. I suspected this and estimated the price would be $80-$100 knowing how much each item was worth on the menu. The conformation came with the bill when the platter was not charged as one item but in fact separate entree items. Now I am not unrealistic when it comes to paying but very much doubt that we would have paid $100 on an entree platter to start our meal. So be warned and ask the waiter how much it would come to before ordering it. By the looks of it, every second table had the platter because it looked so good but doubt any of them asked about the price.
The diavola pizza had hot salami, basil and olives. The base was soggy in classic via napoli fashion but the crust itself was excellent being chewy but not overly chewy and nicely burnt. There was't enough basil and hardly any olives but the hot salami was very spicy which I was very very happy to finally experience from a pizza restaurant.Ā
The ambience is electric with waiters who operate at a very fast pace, sometimes running. Metre long to several metre long pizzas or entree platters are brought out with fanfare in true Italian fashion. This can cause unease amongst some patrons but you know their intentions are good as they treat each and every table with the brisk attentiveness and hospitality which is great to see. The restaurant can get very noisy too but you could carry a conversation no problem.Ā
Overall, 10/10 for service followed closely by the food but be warned about the price of the platter as it could be an unpleasant surprise for the unwary.
Pretty good pizza with fantastic chew in the base/crust and tasty toppings. Nice starters and salads too. Friendly service and good ambiance.
Awesome night!!! Food and service were fantastic!!! (Best tiramisu I've ever tried.) I can't recommend this place highly enough. A++++++++
Love these guys! Best pizza in Sydney hands down. The service was quick, and the food was well priced for what we got...not to mention how good it tastes. Keen to try out their Lane Cove restaurant.
The staff here are crazy in a good way. They're energetic and attentive but a little bit pushy and always trying to upsell which can be annoying.
We had the 0.5metre pizza and it was way too much food for two people. Enough for three or two very big eaters perhaps.
Excellent wood fired pizza but felt a bit touristy the way they yelled and sung to a group of Japanese folk.

The $55 per person set menu is one the best set menus in Sydney.
Honestly the value for money is amazing, and not to mention the quality of the food as well. The prosciutto fresh and not too salty. The mozzarella oozing out of the batter. But in my opinion I do believe it's one of the best wood fired pIzza in Sydney, the dough is so fluffy!
Yes it is very loud and the staff are just as loud but if your a grinch this place is not for you.

Slice open the burrata and you'll be greeted with a river of mozzarella and cream. Its a dairy fiend's dream of rich butteriness sloshed over with olive oil and a twist of black pepper. Alternate mouthfuls of this with gently salty prosciutto and peppery rocket and just try and stop your eyes rolling to the back of your head with satisfaction.
Honestly one of the warmest greeting I've ever experienced at a restaurant especially for my daughters- felt right at home. Super busy and loud but the food is that good you can overlook that. Fresh top quality ingredients. Pizza was amazing
For Mitchās birthday we went to the new Via Napoli Pizzeria in Surry Hills. The Via Napoli Pizzeria in Lane Cove is an old favouriteĀ that never fails to disappoint and this place is the same. Itās very authentically Italian and we always have a good time. Needless to say the food is fantastic. I highly recommend bringing a big group so you can try everything. We had a large group of more than 12 people, and were able to order the 2 meter pizza, 2 pastas, 1 gnocchi and a big antipasto board AND drinks. It worked out to be cheaper than their $45 set menu (since drinks arenāt included in that) and everyone got to have some of everything.
Excellent pizza
Pasta ok but pizza is better
Decided to get ASAP delivery of Via Napoli as it didn't deliver to our area. Ordered the metre long pizza. Unfortunately the pizza arrived cold but it still tasted good. Am definitely looking forward to dining in next time & will repost once done.
Excellent food. The buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto is divine. Pizzas are authentic and delicious. Service was super friendly and the place had a great vibe about it.
Having heard raving review for Via Napoli in Lane Cove, we were excited to finally assess the hype when it opened south of the Bridge in Surry Hills. As it was also one of our best friendās birthday, the occasion doubled as the perfect adventure to taste an authentic, small slice of Italy.

Great pizzas here and are authentic Italian pizzas too. The 2 metre long pizzas were a big hit and loved it. Very busy restaurant so recommend booking in advance if possible. Regards @fooderarri
What an amazing experience! I've been there twice and quality is always here, along with great customer service. I couldn't recommend that place enough and after being to a few pizzeria around Sydney, Via Napoli definitely stands among my favorites. A must do if you like Italian cuisine. And for those who like to share you can even get giant 1m pizzas for your table (I'll try to do that next time, seems fun and would make a great photo too!)
One of our favourite Italian restaurants, the food was even better than last time we went. The pizza was so yummy, gnocchi delicious as always. The Spanish girl and the guy with glasses that served us were great! Pleasure as always to come here.
Their pizzas are simply the best. You can see the pizzas get cooked in the restaurant as the oven is in full display. Service was fantastic and it was very spacious.

Thankfully we made a booking as it was a busy night. Gathered here with my friends as we say goodbye to one of us moving to a different city. The food was excellent although the waiting was a bit long (they are busy so that's expected). I didn't get to take a photo of all our food but will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.
Great pizza.
Service was ok.. they forgot to pass on the order to the kitchen for our kids so they had to wait 30min for their food.
Other wise great š
Great atmosphere! People were chatting laughing and celebrating here. Great for families too! Gonocci and pizzas are delicious!
Unbelievable food, we tried pasta and the nutella dessert. The place was packed but the waiters were really nice and the food didnāt take long to be ready. If you like italian food, you should try this place. Iāll definitely go again.
