Pizzeria in Siena: why choose a neighborhood pizzeria

When you're looking for a pizzeria in Siena, you can choose from many types of establishments.

There are pizzerias in the center, restaurants that also make pizza, modern venues, tourist spots, gourmet pizzerias, and simpler pizzerias.

Then there are neighborhood pizzerias.

The kind where you don't go to see a perfect place, but to eat well. The kind where customers return because they recognize a flavor, an atmosphere, a way of doing things. The kind where pizza isn't an excuse to appear elegant, but the main reason the place exists.

A neighborhood pizzeria with a Neapolitan soul

La Napoletana 2.0 is precisely this: a neighborhood pizzeria in Siena, with a Neapolitan soul.

We are not in the historic center. We are not a place built for the tourist who passes through once and never returns. We are an informal, direct pizzeria, with a clear personality.

People come here to eat a traditional Neapolitan pizza, with a soft dough, natural 'cornicione' (crust), carefully selected ingredients, and precise cooking in an electric oven.

No fake gourmet

We don't pretend to be gourmet. We don't talk about pizza as if it were a museum painting. We don't turn every slice into a complicated lesson.

We make pizza.

And we make it with the idea that a pizzeria should first and foremost be a real place.

A pizzeria that doesn't aim to please everyone

A neighborhood pizzeria has an advantage: it doesn't have to please everyone. It needs to please those who seek substance. Those who want a simple but well-made dinner. Those who prefer a lively atmosphere over a cold establishment. Those who want to breathe a bit of Naples even while staying in Siena.

La Napoletana 2.0 is a pizzeria for those who love straightforward things.

If you're looking for luxury, perhaps not. If you're looking for a true Neapolitan pizza, probably yes.
