« One of my fondest memories growing up in Vallejo MUST include Napoli's Pizza! The call ahead to order out, the short drive with my Dad and brother to get the pizza and the resutling squabble as to who got to hold the pizza box for the ride home. Mmmmmmmm....I can feel the warm box with the delicious aroma filling the car. the temptation to open the box would always lead my Dad to say, "wait 'till we get home". Even my NYC born husband agrees. Napoli's Pizza is the BEST! Since 1968, Napoli's and Pizza who can disagree? Thanks Tony.
Since Mare Island closed and many of us were scattered across the country, you have no idea what coming home to Napoli's and Vallejo means to me. What a great surprise to see the many changes to the city did not affect the quality and taste of Napoli's Pizza. It really feels like 40 years ago and HOME, when I bite into your pizza. I am proud to say that there have been 5 generations of Napoli Pizza eaters in my family. When my 4 month old grand daughter visited from Oregon, we made sure her first pizza experience was Napoli's! »

« 40 years ago when I was a cheerleader at Benicia High School, and friends wanted to enjoy a pizza after a game, it was off to Vallejo to Napoli’s. It was the best pizza anywhere; fresh and delicious, hand thrown, to our delight, by Tony himself! A bunch of giggling girls and boys, entering the front door, looking for the booth we loved. It holds warm happy memories of a more innocent time. Whenever I need that feeling again, all I have to do is go to the bottom of Tennessee Street to Napoli’s! And it's still the best Pizza around. »
