Marcello catered our event and it was a total hit amongst our guests. Delicious pizza to take you back to memories of Napoli! And Marcello was wonderful: responsive, punctual, polite, and a great cook. Thank you for your help! Can't wait to have you for our next party.

We've been at Marcello's last weekend and we really loved it. Very convivial atmosphere, great pizzas and lots of fun. Marcello was very professional, and he went above and beyond with many superb flavors and high quality ingredients, and everybody at our party couldn't stop talking good about it. As a born and raised Neapolitan, I can't wait to go there again, hands down the best pizza I had in SD.

If you want to feel like home and you miss pizza napoletana you want to try Marcello Pizza Napoli. This home restaurant is located in a backyard with oven view, very warm and friendly. The pizza napoletana is authentic and you can try many different flavors that you won't find in others places in San Diego. I highly recommend it!

I hired Marcello for my dads 70th birthday with 50 people. He arrived early and did his magic for over 5hrs serving my guests. I got nothing but raving compliments, I even had my guests asking for to go plates! Food was incredible! I am so thankful for Marcello and his hard work, I will absolutely hire him over and over again. You can absolutely taste the authentic ingredients and flavors. You want to wow your guests, this is it!

Finaly great pizza in San Diego. Very friendly atmosphere, great people, good music and dancing. This is how pizza is supposed to be. Marchelo is The best Pizza Maker I ever met. I can't wait to go there next time. It's centrally locater and lot of parking. My favorit is white cheese pica and of course Nutela pizza. It's really hard to find real Napoli stile pizza araund here but this is it.
