Neapolitan Pizza in Fayetteville

Gusto Napoletano: The Pick for Pizza Purists

Gusto Napoletano is a small Italian restaurant and pizzeria in a Raeford Road shopping center. Chef-owner Nadia Minniti is a native of Naples. Her restaurant's site describes her as a certified VPN pizzaiolo, a reference to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana training that governs traditional Neapolitan pizza. It also notes that PMQ Pizza Magazine named her one of 10 women pizza industry leaders in its March 2024 issue. Beyond pizza, the kitchen makes pasta, including ravioli shown on the site.

Hours are limited, so check before you go. Its site lists:

• Tuesday and Wednesday: 4-8 p.m.
• Thursday and Friday: 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 5-8 p.m.
• Saturday: noon-3 p.m. and 5-8:30 p.m.

Monday and Sunday are not listed. Neapolitan pizza is soft in the center and meant to be eaten fresh, so dine in if you can rather than taking it home.

New York-Style Pizza by the Slice and Pie

Brooklyn Pizzeria: A Ramsey Street Favorite Since 1989

Brooklyn Pizzeria bills itself as "a Fayetteville favorite since 1989." It sits in the Ramsey Commons Shopping Center at 4411 Ramsey Street on the north side of the city. It serves Brooklyn-style pizza and Italian dishes for dine-in, carryout, catering and delivery within its service area.

• Hours: Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
• Best for: a thin, foldable New York-style slice, the style transplants from the Northeast most often ask about in local pizza threads.

Family Pizza and Italian Restaurants

Pizza Palace: Hope Mills Road Since 1983

Pizza Palace opened in May 1983 and is run by the Poulos family. It is at 109 Hope Mills Road at the corner of Raeford Road. The menu covers made-to-order pizza, spaghetti and pasta, subs and sandwiches, and dinner specials. A drive-through window handles to-go pickup, which is rare for a sit-down pizzeria.

• Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; closed Sunday and Monday.
• Best for: a family dinner where half the table wants pizza and half wants spaghetti or a sub.

Capri Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria: Bragg Boulevard

Capri at 2734 Bragg Boulevard has the longest posted hours on this list. It is open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m., and Sunday 11:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Its menu groups pizzas with sandwiches and strombolis, plus pasta and baked specialties. It is on the main route between downtown and Fort Bragg, which makes it a practical stop for soldiers and visiting families.

Little Italy Pizza & Restaurant: Walter Reed Road

Little Italy at 1400 Walter Reed Road, Suite 130, serves pizza alongside a full Italian lunch and dinner menu, Italian wines and local draft beer. It is closed Monday and open Tuesday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Friday-Sunday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. It also caters.

Rudino's Pizza: Pizza With the Game On

Rudino's at 3351 South Peak Drive, Suite 111, beside the Millstone theater, pairs pizza with a sports bar, big-screen TVs, an outdoor patio and live music. It is the pick when you want pizza and a game in the same room.

Tips for Ordering Pizza in Fayetteville

1. Check the day. Pizza Palace closes Sunday and Monday, Little Italy closes Monday, and Gusto Napoletano does not list Sunday or Monday hours.
2. Call for delivery. Brooklyn Pizzeria delivers only within its service area, and most independents here are built around dine-in and carryout.
3. Order Neapolitan to eat there. The soft center does not travel well in a box.
4. Feeding a unit or a team? Brooklyn Pizzeria and Little Italy both mention catering on their sites.

Chains Are Easy to Find

National chains fill the gaps for late-night delivery. Domino's, Pizza Hut and Marco's all have Fayetteville stores, including a Domino's on Grove Street near downtown and a Marco's on McPherson Church Road. This guide focuses on the local shops because chain menus are the same anywhere you go.
