L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele

Naples' most famous pizzeria brings their legendary two-pizza menu and century-old sourdough tradition to King Street's restaurant strip.

You're queuing outside one of Naples' most legendary pizzerias, except you're on King Street rather than Via Cesare Sersale. The Manchester outpost of this 150-year-old institution doesn't mess with the formula that made them famous – just two pizzas on the menu, Margherita and Marinara, made with their closely-guarded sourdough starter that's been alive since the 1870s. The leopard-spotted crusts emerge from blazing Neapolitan ovens with that perfect balance of char and chew, topped with San Marzano tomatoes and proper buffalo mozzarella. Sure, the tourist hordes have followed them from Italy, but when your pizza arrives wobbling and steaming within minutes, you'll understand why people cross continents for this stuff.
