La Figlia del Presidente
About
La Figlia del Presidente is a storied Neapolitan pizzeria located on Via del Grande Archivio 24, just steps from the historic center of Naples. Founded by Maria Cacialli, daughter of famed pizzaiolo Ernesto Cacialli, the restaurant carries on a family legacy that dates back to the early 1990s, when President Bill Clinton famously enjoyed a slice of Naples during the G7 summit. This tale of pop culture and culinary tradition is woven into every pizza made on the shop’s hand‑tossed dough. The menu stays true to Neapolitan classics: crusts that are crisp yet chewy, toppings sourced from local vendors, and a simple yet deeply flavorful recipe that has earned the shop a loyal following. The family runs the place through the third generation, with granddaughters often seen behind the counter, keeping the tradition alive. With a warm, communal atmosphere and staff that greet with smiles, La Figlia del Presidente offers more than a meal — it offers a taste of Naples itself. Whether you’re a first‑time visitor to the city or a seasoned grigliata aficionado, a round of fresh pizzas, lively music, and stories about a presidential dinner make this spot a true local landmark.
