Michael's Market

Just an FYI, most of these negative reviews seem to be for Michael's main restaurant next door, not the cafe. Amazing sandwiches. Meat is sliced to order, dressing and bread are super fresh and the salads are amazing. Decent prices on homemade to go sauces as well. And don't sleep on the espresso!

Our experience here was absolutely amazing! When we first got there it seemed small, but the menu looked good, so we decided to try it. That was the best decision we could've made. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. The appetizers and dinner were spread out, which made it easier to enjoy all the food. The servers there are always so inviting and amazing. Both Ben and Mace are always so good to us and have treated us like family. The world needs more people like them! Overall, it was an amazing experience!

First time visit to Michael's, my friend from Italy was leaving town, and it was recommended to stop by; I've been to Italy twice, and their pizzas are on another level. I tried one of their signature pizzas and was very impressed; I felt like I was back in Italy, presentation, taste; texture was perfect. I spoke with the chef and waiter and gave them my two thumbs up. if you can't make it to italy; it's the next best thing. You will not be disappointed. 😊

You just have to know that when you have a local Italian family. That's not only in the restaurant business but knows a lot about cooking that. You're gonna get some really fun and authentic food to go at the market and you do. Just go try and support a great new version of a local business. The sauces and the pizza are excellent.

Small. Has a bench outside with a heater overhead. Also some were waiting nextdoor at Michael's bar and restaurant. Pizza was better than average. Also the roasted vegetables was a good appetizer to split between two.

Roasted vegetables make for a nice light starter and the margherita was very good even with the dough in the center a little soft.

MICHAEL'S PIZZERIA IS CLOSING. Always had great pizza although less care is taken these days than before and the presentation is off. Waitstaff is terrible, snotty and lazy. If the owner is reading this YOUR STAFF RUINED THIS RESTAURANT. Waited 20 minutes for a salad. 70 minutes for two pizzas (pizzas take 5 mins in a wood fired oven). Waiter offered to bring a sample of a wine, charged full price for it! Brought a second round after 20 mins. Waited for the check for 20 mins. Terrible experience, send in people to audit your staff!

My hubby always said this is one of the best pizzas in the county. Today, we finally went there. My first visit, and his first visit after 4 years. On the way to the restaurant, I read a review saying the sauce and dough was bland, my heart sank a bit. I told my hubby, ‘we will be the judge!’ And now I have to agree with the previous review. The sauce wasn’t just bland but also watery. The only flavour that the pizza had was the ingredients they put there when you tasted them individually... they actually didn’t blend in that well. The key to the pizza is the sauce and the dough apart form the ingredients. I guess 4 years ago was the time it’s awarded one of the best pizzas in the US. Sadly, I couldn’t taste the same flavour anymore. To be fair, the salad was quite good! And the IPA as well!

I have been many times in Michael's pizzeria. I was there on 01/04/20 for dinner. Was not very pleased with my pizza since the prosciutto pizza was great but I didn't know the prosciutto was not cooked with the pizza. Our server was great but the restaurant is always too cold, that it made it uncomfortable to even eat. I asked the waitress to stop the fans which she did but it was still cold. I hope if I visit again they make the place more enjoyable.

Michael's makes the best margherita pizza. But the service here has been going downhill. Last time I was there we waited 45 minutes for our meal even though there were only 2 other parties seated. I later noticed that they had been preparing two huge take out orders but never bothered to tell us. Didn't even see the server for those 45 minutes. If you are craving a good Neapolitan pizza just go to the downtown location.

I ate there last summer because they were supposed to have the best rated pizza in America. Unfortunately it was far from it as the sausage pizza gave me digestive stress later that night. Thereafter I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager Massimo who only offered me dining credit and no refund. Within 90 days I called to make a reservation to redeem the dining credit only find out the restaurant had been sold and closed. I tracked down the owners son Carl Dene who refused to refund my money. I guess the legacy of Michael’s will be they cheat their customers.

Looks like it’s closed for renovation But it wasn’t nice to drive 20 miles and GPS says it’s open and we come and it’s closed! Not nice!

1 star for a good tasting margherita pizza. The service here is horrible. When we entered we stood for a few minutes waiting for a server to acknowledge us in this tiny restaurant. When We were finally told we could just sit anywhere the waiter came up to us like 15 minutes later and We ordered a margherita pizza and the bake fusilli. It took us 45 minutes to get our orders. the restaurant wasn't even full at the time. I noticed other tables were given bread except us. We were starving by the time the food finally got to us. Pizza was great. Fusilli was horrible ...it looked like a Mac n cheese, way too saucey, had no flavor and had 2 bits of sausage in it. This cost $14. And I know, you're saying why did u get pasta at a place known for their pizza...in the downtown location I've had their pasta and it's delicious. She also never came in between our order to update us that the food would be a little bit longer to give us a chance to I dunno order an appetizer or something. They seemed like the y get a lot of to go orders and it seemed like their number one priority.

I'm shocked this place has good reviews. Maybe it's better in house? Maybe we had a bad experience? We we're terribly disappointed with our meal. If I'm going to pay $50 for 2 pizzas, they better be GOOD. I ordered pizzas to pick up, get them home and they weren't sliced. The sauce was watery so when you picked up the slice everything slide off and the crust was soggy and floppy. Flavors were weak. I was really looking forward to trying this place but it's honestly some of the worst pizza I've ever eaten. There is no excuse for soggy pizza!!

Your service at this establishment is solely based upon this establishments view of YOU as a human in their restaurant. Looking to try the "best pizza in the country" (what a joke) and all I was served were looks, some water and... that's it. After seated the waitstaff did everything they could to not take our order. People were seated after us and given the quality service we expected. We left after realizing we were not going to be served. It is places like this that I'm really sorry exist. Michael's Pizzeria "most discriminatory pizzeria" in the country selling narcissism by the slice.

Always used to go there for the food and good pizza but haven’t been there in a while, my daughter Ordered 4 pizzas to go yesterday by phone. Opened the boxes and the sizes were personal pan pizza size around 8”inches, and $ 100.00 later including the tip. Pizza is very good but you guys need to step it up on the sizes..

I had a friend in town visiting and I made the error of assuming since Michael's is in a nice area of Naples that it was a respectable and professional Italian restaurant. This experience was so awful and ridiculous you'd think it was a prank on a hidden camera show. When we arrived for an early dinner around 5:30 there were only two other patrons. The waiter was rather snooty and seated us. My friend is African American, and after looking over the menu we were ready to order. Though the waiter was not helping any other customers , we waited at least another 20 minutes before he took our order. I was getting a bad vibe and we should have just walked out but we were both hungry. When I asked the waiter about vegan and vegetarian options, he rudely rolled his eyes and said all orders were as stated. We ordered some salads and a veggie pizza. After nearly 45 minutes we were handed this mediocre greasy pizza that was not really cooked properly in the middle. After waiting another several minutes we said this pizza wasn't cooked properly. We got an abusive attitude. I am an Italophile and have always loved Italy and Italian cuisine but was so disgusted by this place: their unprofessionalism, marked racism, over priced mediocre food, and attitude that I and all my neighbors will never be supporting this joke establishment. SHAME on MICHAEL'S! I have always supported restaurants and small businesses in the area and have wonderful service from other places. I was really sad to hear Z Pizza closed it's doors (why we came to Michael's in the first place). Because Z Pizza had excellent vegan pizza delivered in 30 minutes for a nominal fee and their salads were good too. Michael's of Naples goes down as one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. CUSTOMER BEWARE!
