Located in the heart of Mountain View, Napoletana Pizzeria offers an authentic taste of Italy through its exquisite Neapolitan-style pizzas and a thoughtfully curated Italian menu. This cozy, inviting spot at 1910 W El Camino Real is a beloved destination for those craving genuine wood-fired pizza paired with a warm, intimate atmosphere.
Step inside and be greeted by the enticing aroma of freshly baked dough, bubbling mozzarella, and savory tomato sauce melding together in perfect harmony. The standout Margherita E Napoletana is a true crowd favorite, boasting a beautifully chewy, slightly charred crust that delivers that signature Neapolitan bite. Equally enticing are the Coppa Mascarpone, Caprese salad with ripe tomatoes and creamy mozzarella, and the Calamari Fritti, which offers a delightful crispy contrast to the pizza specialties.
Beyond pizza, the kitchen crafts traditional Italian dishes like Fettuccine Alla Bolognese and Penne Alla Vodka, each bursting with rich, layered flavors that transport you straight to Italy’s culinary heartland. For a lighter fare, their gourmet salads—such as the Insalata Tricolore with arugula, Belgian endive, and dried figs—add a fresh, tangy balance to your meal.
Completing the experience is an excellent selection of Italian wines, including robust Tuscan reds like Villa Claudia Chianti and silky Primitivo di Manduria, alongside sparkling Carpene Malvolti Prosecco that sparkles as brightly as the attentive service. Espresso and decadent desserts like Cannoli and Chocolate Mousse round out your dining adventure, leaving a sweet, satisfying finish.

This is the only restaurant I get pizza on the peninsula anymore. Wood fire cooked and ready in 5-10min. Crust has a perfect chewy quality. I haven't tried the rest of the menu but dishes look great when I come in to pick up my pizza. The space is small but the pizza is outstanding.
Authentic Neapolitan pizza. Easily one of the best I’ve had in the United States so far. The dough is excellent, and the olive oil on the table is a nice touch. Prices are fair for the quality and location. The local is small and cozy. Highly recommended. Only comment is that it could be used a tomato/mozzarella with lower moisture since the pizza had a little too much water when it was out of the oven.
Pretty tasty and chill pizza spot. I liked both the margherita pizza and the fungi pizza. Both tasted really good and were cooked really nicely. It had both the sauce and the crispness that pizza requires Service was also really fast and attentive. After ordering the pizzas came out nice and quickly. Overall it was a nice pizza experience and would definitely come back and try other pizzas.
I make pizzas about three times a week including NY style, Sicilian, and other recipes I've been tweaking for years. That said, I've been here twice and I'll probably keep stopping by whenever I'm in the area just for the quality of their Margherita pizza alone. Besides the fact that there aren't any AVPN certified pizzerias near me, I can't even seem to get ingredients that taste as good as theirs even down to the basil they use. I tried their Napoletana afterwards but I'd personally go back to the Margherita because the Italian sausage ends up masking how good the mozzarella and other ingredients actually are. I can't even bring myself to just take the pizza to go because Neapolitan doesn't travel as well as NY style and it's best to just come in and eat it right out of the oven. The margherita is my go-to benchmark when I'm at a new place, but I'll try the rest when I get the chance. The worst part is I'm home right now proofing yet another pizza dough and I'm still thinking about the pizzas from this place enough to write a review about it!
We have been coming here for years and it is still the best pizza on the Peninsula. Good salads as well, but the pizza is what this is about. The is true Napoletana style pizza and designed to be eaten fresh out of the oven. You can get it to go but you are degrading the experience. If you are looking for thick crust American style, this will not be a good fit. Limited wine selection.
