Some of the best food I've ever eaten! I had the lemon chicken and can't even put into words how good it was. We even talked to the owner and he told the family history and that they were his mother's recipes. Such a great and humble man. Good customer service and great experience.
Quality food in a casual atmosphere. Delicious wood fired pizzas (between $20 -$25) that will feed around 3 people. Pasta was a little pricey for the serving size and was good but not spectacular. ($22 for a bowl). The garlic sauce was bomb and was perfect for dipping the pizza in.
On our trip to the Buffalo area we stayed in a wonderful hotel nearby this restaurant and thank heavens the front desk person who checked us in strongly recommended we eat at Forno Napoli. We are so happy we did and we actually ended up eating there multiple times during our week's stay! From the moment we walked in, the aroma just drew us in. This is a family-owned operation and the beautiful part is that we were treated like family as well by Felix, Rick & Evan! The pizza was just exceptional. Truly the best we have ever had - anywhere! We tried both the Margherita Pizza and the Diavola Pizza and we never could decide which was actually better, so every visit we ordered both! We didn't stop there! They have wonderful salads, also 'out of this world' and we ordered the Panzanella Salad which is unbelievably fresh and delicious. I don't know how we found room for it but we had been told at the hotel that the Cannoli was the best so we felt challenged to try it. It definitely is the best we have ever had. What a treat to have the owners come over and visit. Not in an intrusive way, but in a way that shows they really care that their guests/customers are having an enjoyable visit. There is also a lovely man whom we met who has a beautiful accent, a lovely name (Simone) who was also kind and generous with his time and knowledge when he saw my husband's interest in the process and ingredients - and so my husband could understand just how Forno Napoli could have such an exceptional pizza. We live in CA and won't have the opportunity as much as we would like to enjoy Forno Napoli and that makes us sad. You deserve to enjoy this experience and the exceptional food you will be served.
From pizza all the way through the pasta, its spectacular. Portioning here is phenomenal. Authentic italian food/ kitchen. Really good food.
Order the Margherita pizza. Easily the best pizza I've ever eaten. So good!
1st time popping in tonight… got a lasagna pizza. The food is quality and delicious, easily 5/5 stars, but the staff is 10/5 stars. There’s a family vibe you pickup immediately when walking in. Felix made conversation with us and introduced us to all the employees, the place smelled phenomenal, everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves, 100% plan to frequent this restaurant. Have worked in bars and restaurants for 12 years and come from an Italian family who jars their own tomatoes year round, and can tell you this place does it right. Minggggg.
The Margherita pizza is wonderful! We like to get a salad and a pizza and it is the perfect amount of food for two people! One of our new favorite spots to grab dinner!
I ordered San Franco Pizza last week. The pizza had a moist crust while crunchy bottom. As you take each bite, you can hear the crunch. Initially, I didn't bother using the garlic oil but after I did it changed my whole life. It's was so good. The garlic oil brought out all the flavors on the pizza. OMG! I still remember the flavors. I highly recommend it.
If you ever wondered what an authentic Italian pizza tasted like, Forno Napoli is the place to visit. I have had pizza from all the famous joints (including the 100 year old ones IYKWIM) in NYC during my 6 year stay there, and I can assure you that nothing comes close to this one.P.S. If you’re interested, hop by the pizza making section and chat with the owner about their stone oven.
I only feel the need to leave reviews when I find a new favorite pizza place...First time trying this place out after living around the corner for years. Delicious and perfectly cooked Margherita pizza with prosciutto, amazingI am really picky with pizza too, so much buffalo pizza is a pile of grease and too heavy...I was worried that one pie wouldn't be enough because I eat a lot, neo pizza is so light, and when done right also so delicious, but it would have been enough for me and one other person.Owner and staff were great as well, I will see you soon.
