Pizzeria del Capitano

Think juicy, rich tomato sauce made from vine-ripened Sicilian tomatoes, 50 different flavours and toppings including anchovies, gorgonzola, artichokes, capers and many many more. All of this is freshly made and baked in a wood-burning stove by a local from Naples who moved to Messina for work. And yes, he once was a shipping captain, hence the name. So, don't expect any silly toppings or deep-pan pizza, we are talking about real Napolitan pizza.

Another reason for you to dine here is that their pizza is sold by the metre. In a rectangle shape, the pizzas are 1.5 m long and are a fantastic way of socializing and sharing, especially for kids and families.

And not only the pizza will put a smile on your face. The wide selection of appetizers such as traditional arancini (rice balls with meat) as well as fried mozzarella, pasta baked in the oven and even hot dogs!
