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
Neapolitan pizza draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it among the best they've had, crusts soft in the middle and chewy outside, generously topped, and several pizzas noted for using honey alongside chilli oil. Close behind, the pistachio tiramisu earns its own mentions, and one diner singles out the tagliatelle Neapolitan on a solo visit. The lunch deal and a pre-theatre setting come up often, with one couple citing a meal under twenty pounds for two including drinks. Service is largely described as friendly and welcoming, though one review reports slow service despite the restaurant being nearly empty, plus a promotional sign for a £5 pizza deal that reviewers found misleading, since it excludes drinks and adds a charge for pastas. Another reviewer notes staff didn't intervene when a group grew disruptive with a horn. Several mention being seated without a reservation, including one party accommodated after a half hour wait.

“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.”

“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!”

“Called in after returning from London. Table for 1. Expected acceptable food - but got exceptional food. Tagliatelle Neapolitan and Pistachio Tiramisu. Absolutely spot on. And really good value. Big up for the chefs and Jess. Ideal for a pre-show meal, or like me, comforting homecoming grub xxx”
