• Pizzeria • Capitol Hill / First Hill

Booked 2 times today

We opened our first pizzeria in 2004 in the burgeoning Capitol Hill neighborhood. For months before we opened curious onlookers poked their heads in the former auto body shop, and outlandish rumors spread. One person saw a team of masons reportedly flown in from Naples to build a gargantuan wood-fired oven, someone heard that the bricks also came from Naples rich with Vesuvian ash, a reporter ran a story about a taxi driver leading our owner down a dark Neaopolitan street to meet a talented Pizzaiolo who was then whisked to an airport….As it turns out almost all of the tall tales are true – on opening night people lined up for the authentic Neaopolitan pizza and since then our ovens have only gotten busier. Via Tribunali has been called "more authentic than the pizzerias of Naples," and even though that is a flattering exaggeration it is fair to say that our pizzerias have grown out of an almost unnatural passion for the food & wine of Southern Italy.

The Brussels sprouts salad was delicious. The pizza crust was perfect. Very tasty too. My husband was very disappointed that he couldn’t get chicken or turkey on the pizza. We don’t eat pork or shellfish (kosher), so they only had vegetarian options. He ended up just getting a cheese pizza which did not make him happy. The drinks were delicious but very expensive.

Neb was incredibly cozy and great for date night. There were quite a few larger groups and so it was a bit noisy, but it made the ambiance festive and lively. The food was quite good and the staff was incredibly charming.
