Quick info
About NEAPOLITAN Pizza & Bar Lime Street
On Lime Street near the train station, NEAPOLITAN Pizza & Bar is a Neapolitan pizza restaurant and the first AVPN-certified pizzeria in Liverpool. The dough ferments before baking in a wood-fired oven visible from the seating area, producing soft, chewy crusts, with several pizzas topped with honey and chilli oil. Tagliatelle Neapolitan and Pistachio Tiramisu appear on the menu alongside the pizza list. A lunch deal offers a set number of pizzas for £5, with drinks and pasta priced separately. Large tables with space between seating suit groups. The restaurant takes walk-ins without reservations, though a wait can build at busier times, and it opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the Neapolitan pizza, with one reviewer ranking it among the best they have had, including pizzas from Napoli, and another calling it one of the best Neapolitan pizzas ever. Reviewers describe crusts soft in the middle and chewy outside, generous toppings, and honey across many pizzas, with one honey and chilli oil pizza singled out. Close behind are the pistachio tiramisu and the tagliatelle Neapolitan, both called spot on. Several mention friendly service and big portions, and a few like watching the pizza oven and using the place before a theatre show or a train. The recurring caveat is the setting and the pace. One reviewer found service slow with only three tables occupied and said staff did not ask a group honking a horn to stop, another found the atmosphere a bit too loud though conversation was still possible, and one said a half hour passed before being seated without a reservation. One reviewer called the outside sign about the £5 pizza misleading because drinks are excluded and pastas cost extra.

“Lovely birthday meal before a theatre show, food was delish, so much flavour and so filling, lovely and beautiful waitress Sue we had this evening, be coming here again :)”

“We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was very quiet. What a gem! One of the best pizzas I've ever had - and that includes pizzas from Napoli itself. The crusts were soft in the middle and chewy on the outside. They pizza was rammed with toppings. All of us were raving over house good they were. Faultless...and great service too - I have forgotten the servers' names, sorry. However everyone working on that shift (12.07.2026 @ 16:30) was a credit to the restaurant. Thank you for making it dining experience so good!”

“We spent a very pleasant evening there. The pizza was fine, and the interior was very nicely decorated. We liked it a lot. We were able to sit in peace at a large table, and there is plenty of space. We had a very successful evening over wine and pizza. Thank you :)”

“We had the lunch deal here, costs less than 20 quid for 2 people + drinks! Staff were really friendly, and the food was awesome. Definitely planning to go back here sometimes in the future. It's also quite near the train station, perfect to have your meal before boarding the train.”
- Elaine Mckeown
“Absolutely gorgeous food, massive portions too. Sue is so friendly and welcoming, so much so that she deserves a pay rise, seriously! She couldn't do enough for us, we genuinely felt so welcome. Thank you xx”
