This was absolutely delicious pizza. Had the Bufala, hubby had the Lasagna and Margherita.m, and Grandma had the Caprese. Crust had wonderful flavor, sauce was excellent and you can taste that it was fresh. Service was pleasant and pretty quick. Definitely a place for people that have small or large parties. Highly recommend.
I was really excited to try this and maybe my expectations were too high. The pizza looks very good but was bland. We both agreed we've had much better Neapolitan pizza in the states. Service not very friendly, but that's what we've unfortunately found is typical for everywhere we've been in Italy so far.
Grabbed pizza here for lunch while in Naples. I think this place is often overlooked because the famous pizza place is right across the street. The line there was too long, and we got in to Trianon right away. I'm so glad we did because the pizza was delicious! We ordered and shared the Margherita and the marinara. Both were delicious! Two pizzas was too much for the two of us, and we took half of one with us in a box. Definitely my favorite pizza in Italy!
Do not pass up Pizzeria Trianon! This place is literally across the street from a very popular (crowded with long lines) pizza restaurant with very limited indoor seating. They have a large selection of handmade pizzas at very reasonable prices, plenty of indoor seating, and very efficient service. This was our go-to pizza restaurant in Naples, despite several places closer to our hotel. There was no waiting for seating and the delicious pizzas arrived promptly. The crust was thin and crisp and covered with a sea of melted cheeses. We will definitely revisit when we return to Naples.
Pizzeria Trianon da Ciro is a historic Neapolitan pizzeria that opened in Naples, Italy in 1923. It was founded by husband and wife Ciro and Giorgina Leone. The couple named their pizzeria after a famous theater that's just a few doors down. Since the late 19th century, the Teatro Trianon has been a popular venue for the best artists of the Neapolitan and Italian theater scenes. Pizzeria Trianon opened during a period of time between the two World Wars when the economy was bad, unemployment was very high and people were starving. The Leones started making pies that people called "a ruotta di carretto" (Italian for "cartwheel") because of their huge size. These pies consisted of very thin, long-rising dough, about 35 cm wide, which could satisfy a person's appetite for a whole day. Actors who frequently performed at Teatro Trianon (such as Totò, Macario, and Nino Taranto) would frequently stop in at Pizzeria Trianon. Today the pizzeria is owned by the Leones granddaughters Donatella and Giorgina and their husbands. A second location opened in Salerno in 1991, and a third opened in Sorrento in 2017. My wife and I visited Pizzeria Trianon on our honeymoon in July 2018. We had just eaten some pies at the popular Antica Pizzeria da Michele. While that pizzeria is known for its long lines, Trianon is right across the street, they usually don't have long lines, and their pizza is comparable to da Michele. We decided to order a pie to-go and eat it back at our hotel. The interior of Trianon was really nice. The pizzeria has three levels and can accommodate up to 400 people. There was a lot of cool tile art on the walls depicting scenes of Naples. After looking over the menu, we decided to order a Margherita with fresh Buffalo Mozzarella. The heat of the wood-fired oven cooks the pies very quickly. The sauce was perfect, the crust had a nice chew to it, and the mozzarella was so creamy! Excellent pizza!
With the line of locals for Da Michele literally spilling out into the streets at 10:30 am, we decided to hit up what's known as the second best spot for authentic Naples pizza: Pizzeria Trianon. Since we arrived early we were quickly seated downstairs by the pizza oven. We must've hit it just right because the place had a huge line outside within 15 minutes! The menu is simple and basic: pizza! We each ordered our own pizza (as is the tradition and norm in Italy) and watched as they were tossed and cooked by hand right in front of us. We got the house wine which was a red made with grapes grown from the nearby Pompeii region (not great wine, but what a fun story). Hubby opted for a mushroom pizza (it was his favorite pizza he ate during our entire 3 weeks spent in Italy) and I got a pomodoro with tomatoes that were grown near Mt. Vesuvius. I wanted to go as local as possible and that menu item jumped out at me the second I sat down. My pizza was very good but far from the best I've ever eaten. I had no problem polishing off the whole thing of course, but I wish I had ordered a more classic pie like margherita. My pizza didn't have any red sauce which was disappointing. Live and learn. The crust was excellent, chewy and slightly undercooked (as it should be) with an appropriate smattering of blackened charred bits. Those little "burned" areas were the most delicious part of the pizza! What struck me most is that the prices are cheap, even for dining in! Big pizzas ranged in price from €4.50 up to €9.00 and made for a very inexpensive, high quality, and super filling meal. The hospitality was friendly (Italians are generally jovial and in our experience, they're particularly happy to have foreign tourists visiting Napoli) and the service casual and unhurried. While this may not be the very best or most famous pizzeria in town, it certainly belongs a spot near the top.
Large seating area upstairs for this excellent pizzeria. Very fresh ingredients and most pizzas are versions of the Margherita, which was invented in Naples. Allegedly the second best pizza in town behind their neighbor, Di Michele. Problem with the other place is that they have a line out the door all day, and I'm not a very patient line stander. For me Trianon is the perfect #1 to me with its ample seating area and lack of crazy crowds. They even have lots of toilets and a hand washing area near the top of the stairs upstairs. We got a single pizza and shared it. A very reasonable thing to do as it's a decent sized pie. Of note, service here isn't great, so order everything in one go as your waiter may never return. Pay downstairs with the cashier near the door. Most ate their pizza with knife and fork.
Incredible pizza and vary fair prices. Individual but large pies that most people somehow manage to finish. Family style tables upstairs are great because you enjoy authentic Napolitano cuisine surrounded by the company of local families. Not for tourists, prices are not cheap come-on gimmicks like offered across the street. We wondered why a long line of tourists were waiting across the street. Ten euro pies which include a beer. Here I paid 8.5€ for an amazing pie with gorgeous toppings. The servers were brusque with us but hugs and kisses for local families who must come once a week. I truly live this place but they lost s star for serving a miserable excuse for house red wine. I'm in the wine business as a grower and vintner -- this swill was horrid and was an insult to Italian wine makers. But we will be back!
Dinner at Trianon for pizza after arriving to Naples from Rome on the train. Ordered the margherita, margherita con salciccia e funghi (sausage & mushroom), and Italian coca cola. They were out of buffalo mozzarella which almost made me want to leave the place but we were so tired so we stayed and ate there and was thankful that we did because their pizzas were really spectacular. The hot out of the oven pizzas warms the soul and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was opened in 1923 and has been serving Neapolitan pizza since then. They have a beautiful mosaic tiled wood-fired oven right inside the restaurant. We had Italian coca cola to go with the pizzas. They came in glass bottles with glass cups and ice on the side. Unlike people in the US, most Europeans do not drink directly out of the bottle or cans. It tasted less sugary and still has the great coca cola flavor. read more
Welcome to Naples, where pizza is the ruler of the kingdom. In a land with endless pizza options, Trianon comfortably stakes its claim. Neapolitan pizza should be light and the ingredients should be the star of the show. This is great pizza at an even better price. I will reserve the last star until I try out the so called "better pizzas" in the area read more

I'm guessing a lot of folks end up here when Pizzeria da Michele is either closed or too packed, that's how we ended up here. But I'll say this, it will be difficult not come here the next time. What a perfect pizza! The traditional Margheritas are amazing - I can't stop thinking about the flavors, best pizza I've ever had! There are three stories here and they pump pizzas from three wood burning ovens on each floor. This looks to be a popular local spot as it was packed the two times we were here - but plenty of seating means you'll always get in! Look no further - this is a must try! read more

I stayed 2 nights in Napoli near to the station. The last night we decided with a friend to go to this place because of all the good reviews. A little disappointed but still good! Cheap + read more

Da Michael's Margarita is good; although to my pallet, Trianon's Mozzarella taste better for some reason. Perfect pair of beer. Loved it read more

I recommend sitting upstairs with the locals and a splattering of clued-in tourists in the bright yellow sunny room. A simple menu with only pizze offered. I had a large very good pizza with marinara, mozzarella and funghi. The crust was light and thin and had a nice slight chew. Great acidity to the sauce. read more

When in Naples, why not try a Neapolitan pizza?! FYI, this place is about 10min walk from the Napoli train station. We chose to go to Trianon instead of De Michele (the more popular one) because this place was open ( we went Sunday 11am). **Be aware that a lot of places are closed on Sunday!**It had just open so there was no wait. The pizza itself is huge and cheap £4.50. One can be easily shared between two people. Now (food snob alert!) I am a New Yorker, so to me I wasn't blown away by the pizza. It tasted very similar to Grimaldi's if you've ever had it. Still very good though! read more

Disclaimer. We are from WI. A dairy state in the USA. The pizza is good not mind blowing great but pizza like this is an everyday thing for us. Too much oil, needs more tomatoes. The red sauce is very good. Fresh. The crust is nice and crisp all the way to the center. I would have liked more cheese not as in more but maybe less cooked highlighting the fresh mozzarella. No taste of the tomato, could use more. Not bad maybe for pizza of the world but you can find better in Milwaukee Wi! read more

This pizza is amaaaaaaaazing. I had pizza at least 15 times during our Italian trip and this spot was by far the best. The service was pretty swift as well. Perfectly chewy crust and delicious meat - sausage was da bomb. Go early and often while in Naples - you won't regret it! read more

After a week in Naples this is the best pizza, genuine Neapolitan, sponge and chewy. Very friendly prize. Basic interior. Many locals. If you go for a dinner go before 8pm, you will avoid big crowd of locals:) read more

Must try this pizzeria! It was recommended to us by locals, as "the best pizza in Napoli." We ended up eating there a few times during our week stay. I still haven't had Naples-style thin crust pizza any better (granted I was on vacation). This place has more of a local vibe. I don't remember noticing Any other tourist while we were there. Servers we had did not speak much English (if any). I find this to be a sign of authenticity, however some tourist may not appreciate it as much. Every pizza we tried was great. Just order toppings you like, and you will not be disappointed. If you order the "Otto Gusti" ; understand it comes with the 8 toppings, with one topping on each slice (I.e. not spread out evenly throughout the pizza). The price is crazy cheap. About 8 Euros for a good size pizza with a tall peroni! Trianon is a great way to end your day of touring the Naples area!!! read more
