Where to eat pizza in Capri
If you're on the island of Capri, there's no need to take a hydrofoil all the way to Naples for an excellent Neapolitan pizza. Capri also has excellent pizzerias, some of which are locally founded and have been in business for decades, while others have opened more recently as "island" branches of historic Neapolitan pizzerias. Summer 2024 particularly stood out with three new pizzerias opened by famous Neapolitan pizza chefs, who couldn't resist the temptation to open a branch on the "blue island."
Here's our guide on where to enjoy the best Neapolitan pizza on the island of Capri, whether you're looking for traditional or a modern twist.
Concettina ai tre Santi
From the popular Sanità district of Naples, Concettina ai tre Santi is now also just a stone's throw from Capri's iconic Piazzetta. Pizza chef Ciro Oliva took his family pizzeria to international fame, making it a glamorous and fun place with equal attention on the quality of the pizza dough and ingredients. In Capri he put his island branch in the historic "Da Gemma" restaurant, relighting a medieval pizza oven. The menu features pizzas and fried appetizers to be enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the sea. And another plus is you can book online!
Recommended pizza: “Sott’ e ngopp”, a fried pizza with sauce from Oliva, and of course the classic Margherita.

This place defines itself as a "signature pizza and seafood tavern."
