Hard to find good Italian food in NorCal. This is a gem. They never stopped making pizza the whole time we were there!
The portions are huge. Prepare to unbuckle and enjoy the ride. Our group had spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna and meatballs. The cheese bread was excellent but not needed as we ran out of room. Dinner salad was simple but very tasty.
Great service. Prompt and very friendly. -

My favorite thing about Napoli's?
It's no atrocious college themed pizza joint like Woodstock's with its "frequent woody" cards or another young hipster hang out like Pizza My Heart. There's no TV blaring in the background. There are no immature 20somethings running around, getting drunk, and screaming. No trivia night with an overly loud and obnoxious emcee. Napoli's is just a good, old fashioned, family run restaurant. What they do have though is good food, great service, and a Ms. Pacman table. So what if it looks like it's been there a long time? It has.
My partner and I dropped in for lunch a little over a week ago. We ordered a medium Tony's Special and added bell peppers to it. He had an iced tea and I had water. We also had wings as an appetizer. The wings? Good. The pizza? Great. I absolutely positootly enjoyed the crust. Our waitress was just outstanding. She's got that vibe about her. She's friendly and makes you feel like family. They do take a little longer than we're used to now a days but that's because they're not microwaving up some frozen crap dough. My word of advise is either 1) order an appetizer or 2) come a little sooner than that starved feeling. I ordered two medium dough balls and a quart of sauce for a friend of mine who was a former resident of the valley jo but now lives over two hours away. All in all-- my bill came to $40. Pricey? I think not.
I have to come back to try the ravioli dinner. My pal told me that is their crème de la crème (and yes, I understand this is an Italian place)

Pros: one of the best pizzas i've ever had.
Cons: did not put enough beef on my pizza.
We ordered a large pizza. Was enough for 4 with one slice left over. Pizza was delicious and cooked to perfection. Crust and pizza sauce was excellent.
Checked in to get our free garlic bread.
Wear a jacket cause the restaurant was too cold. -

This place is very "mom and pop" and had a very local feel. You can see the employees making the pizza and the servers were really nice. The check in deal for free breadsticks made it that much better. We had a pizza, and it was good but nothing super spectacular either.
Side note: a bunch of cops were hanging out here too, so it seems like a safe watering hole in Vallejo -

I liked the relaxed feel of the place. It was pretty chill and the music was great too, something everyone can listen to. The pizzas took some time, but that's what you get for ordering good food and it was worth the wait. My friend and I ordered the original and the margherita and both were tasty and I'd go back again. The service was pleasant and the friendliest service I can think of. Another Vallejo treasure.

There's a special bond between a man and a greasy pizza loaded with meat. Napoli's understands this sick, primal urge and delivers a gutbustingly delicious pie that even the pickiest eater is bound to enjoy.
The regular combination is a savory meatfest. Loads of spicy sausage, pepperoni, salami, mushroom and olive adorn each and every flavorful piece.
Sauce is one of the sticking points that sets a good pizza place apart from the greats. That being said, the sauce here is fantastic. Just the right amount of sweetness to complement the savory tomato flavor. They certainly aren't afraid to lather it on which is a +1 in my book.
The service was quick and attentive even though there was a crowd on a Wednesday night that would make the fire marshal crap himself.
As for beer I would recommend getting a large pitcher. The small pitcher looks just about right for a dwarf, hobbit or small woodland creature. Take the leap to large and thank me later.
When your stomach howls for a delicious, greasy pizza, go for a drive to Napoli. You are sure to leave happy and perhaps a few exceedingly tasty pounds heavier. -

Just had my son's 1st Birthday here with around 25-30 guest (mostly adults). I was a bit worried about the space at first but it work out great and everyone was comfortable. They even let me decorate the place. The staff was awesome. They were very accommodating to all our needs and always asking if we needed anything else. Each table got to order their own pizza and it all came out in a timely manner. The pizza's was sooo AMAZING. Everyone, including the out of towners thought so as well.

I thought I found a new pizza joint....first time, loved the pizza....
Second time around, i ordered a large pepperoni, mushroom and tomato pizza, my hubby picks it up and sees a pepperoni, mushroom and pineapple pizza. Tells them the pizza is wrong, they offer to make a new pizza but would have to wait another 30 minutes. It is almost 11pm! They offer to throw tomatoes on and reheat plus $5 discount. My hubby opts to do what's faster. (bad decision but what an inconvenience to wait)
Pizza had so much moisture it puddled in the middle of the pizza so we couldn't even grab the slice without it falling apart. Worst pizza ever!! A $5 discount did not make me feel better about the horrible pizza. We wasted our money and I can't even look at the pizza let alone eat another bite.
Inconsistent and disappointing. The girl who took the order is an idiot. How hard can it be to take an order with only 3 toppings?!!!
I will never, ever go back. -

Delicious! If you are in the vicinity of Vallejo, this is the kind of place that you need to have on your speed dial! If you're in a crunch for time, just order ahead and pick up! You can even make reservations or call just to say what's up. ahahah. but seriously, what a treasure trove of toppings, cheese, pizzas, and pizza sandwiches. You could probably build a mountain of happiness with the amount of mozarella this place must go through in a day.

Amazing pizza and pasta place with a pretty good drink selection. The lasagna here is huge and to die for. We ordered the combo, which comes with a salad and garlic bread. The two of us were carbo-loading before some heavy exercise the next day, and we barely finished all the food here.
The open kitchen's great, seeing your pizza made as you go by. Friendly staff, great food, good prices. Yum. -

We heard about this place from friends who lived in the area.
I truly love the family vibe I get from this place. The pizza and CHEESE BREAD (amaaaaaaaazing) is piping hot and delicious. You can tell the difference between small operation pizza and a big commerical pizza in its taste and quality. You can see them making the pizzas per order. Their customer service is impeccable. We showed the cashier our check in and got free cheese bread. You must try it! So glad to have found an awesome establishment like this in Vallejo! -

Only one word can sum up Napoli's.... Yummie !!!!! This place has been in business since I was a wee sprout and been a staple in the family for pizza forever ! It is a family run family owned business that is just great. Pizza is great, the other main dinner dishes are fantastic ! It is smallish so get there early if you plan on being there at dinner time. It fills up fast !

Great service. We had a large group and they actually wrote separate checks. I had the lasagne, which was pretty good, but not spectacular. The pizza looked really good. The restaurant is located in a older part of Vallejo and is a neighborhood eatery.
Reservations strongly recommended for a large group. -

Delicious, consistent pizza in a family-run business. No gimmicks, just good tasty pizza.
Been eating here since I was a kid and the place has not changed at all - and that's a good thing. My favorite is pepperoni, mushroom, black olives, and fresh tomatoes.
You should know before you go - It's in a rough neighborhood, but so is 85% of the good food in Vallejo. Also, make sure you order from the one on Tennessee Street because it's better than the others somehow. Maybe all the years of pizza cooking in there gives it a more special flavor than the other places.
Eat there or take-out, it will be good.
4 stars, not 5, because it's not the best pizza I've ever had, but it is the best in Vallejo. -

I really want to give 5 but some things could be improved on. However the taste is definitely a 5 star!
I usually get a thin crust pizza with simple toppings. I am not sure if it is the sauce or what but it is SO GOOD. I also like to get their basic garden salad with the BLUE CHEESE DRESSING. Made by hand (literally) it is my most favorite dressing ever. Dip the crust in once the salad is gone, delightful! -

Went to Napoli Monday and to our suprise they now have a happy hour. There was a menu which has discounted items including Buffalo wings which are new!! So we had some garlic cheese bread and some wings..
The wings were very good. Neither hot nor mild. Best described as TANGY. MMMM Served with your choice of blue cheese or ranch and the traditional celery. Glad to see a new menu item.1 Previous Review:

Napoli in Vallejo is a nice little restaurant with very good pizza. I love the super combo with pesto on half and red sauce on the other. Umm Umm Umm! Agree with other Yelper, it's not located in the best neighborhood, but there are far worse areas and the food is very good and worth the drive to the west side of Valleo, near the entrance to Mare Island. They have an "old school" video game of Ms. Pac Man, if I recall correctly. Hadn't seen one of those for about 20 years so that was nostalgic.

I have been going to this pizza place since I was a little kid. LOVE the pizza here. Authentic and sooooo good. The crust is cooked to perfection and the toppings ...wow...I could go for a couple of their combo slices right now actually.
The father, sons and nephews run the place. I don't see the father in there as much as I used to. But every once in awhile, I'll see him on a Friday night behind the counter twirling pizza dough, or spreading mounds of mozzarella over red tomato sauce.
The restaurant itself is kind of a throwback to something out of the 80s. Booth style seats and a small Pac man arcade table when you first walk through the door. Still only costs a quarter to play - last time I checked anyways. Though it might be 50 cents now too.
Order a combo and a pitcher of root beer or orange soda. Doesn't get much better than that. They have a second location in Benicia run by one of the sons (I think the youngest son) and another one in Vacaville. I still think the one on Tennessee Street in Vallejo is the best! The Benicia one is okay. The crust is not always on point for me though. Never tried the Vacaville one, so don't know.
If you've never been - totally missing out.
Also, I just started liking their ravioli in the last two years. Pretty basic meat ravioli. I like it though. Try it out if you haven't yet. -

I have been coming here since I was young and it has ALWAYS been the same old fashioned pizza joint and I still love to eat there a few times a month and if you go I suggest the super combo. I would rank it higher but they're pizza sauce does not taste that fresh to me, it taste like paste out of the can with some added spices (especially oregano) and the dough is boring. Other than that it is a reliable old fashioned pizza joint that has been the best in Vallejo since it opened decades ago.

Hands down my favorite spot to eat in Vallejo, their pizza is one of the best I've ever had.
And if you're not in the mood for pizza, the ravioli/spaghetti combo plate with meatballs is extraordinary. Great for kids, the staff is friendly and we always leave happy.
Seriously, if you haven't been go and give their combo pizza a try. -

we were the only ones there when we arrived for a 12-ish lunchtime. People started rolling in around 1-ish. There was only 2 workers: a cook and a waitress.
Food: took a while to cook, but the pizza was well worth the wait! The pizza alone was the star.
Small Original pizza- extremely delicious with generous toppings. It was enough to feed 2 people.
Tortellini with red sauce- nothing special, we only ate 2 pieces each, but the portion was huge.
Service- friendly waitress and attentive
Prices were decent. Pizza was about $13 and the tortellini was $10. -

Winner Winner pizza dinner! The bf grew up eating here. Us Rancho folk grew up on Straw Hat and Pizza Hut. So we come here at least once every other month. The pies here are always good; fresh toppings/crust is crunchy on the outside chewy on the inside, oowy goowey cheesy and always piping hot out of the oven. Kinda bumbed out they don't serve wings but the salad, pizza and beer will fill you up plenty. We split a small and still had three slices left to take home. I get a kick out of the baby beer pitchers... Just freeze that instead and save the glass for water. Service is friendly...I think they checked on us at least five times. This place is a real Vallejo institution and I hope it doesn't go anywhere any time soon. The area can be a bit sketchy..but what area in the V isn't?

My only complaint is that the crust gets kinda soggy towards the middle of the pizza pie.
