L'Oro di Napoli

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The Gold Standard of Neapolitan Pizza in Sonoma County

L'Oro di Napoli — "the gold of Naples" — makes a bold promise with its name, and Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, has taken notice. The Santa Rosa pizzeria earned a slice rating in the 2025 edition of the guide's coveted pizza rankings, placing it among a select group of establishments in the United States where Neapolitan pizza is taken seriously.

A Name That Carries Weight

The name alone signals intent. Naples is the birthplace of pizza, and the traditions that define it — the dough, the fermentation, the high-heat bake — are not easily replicated. That a Gambero Rosso reviewer found L'Oro di Napoli worthy of recognition speaks to a kitchen that respects those roots. For diners in Sonoma County, it means access to Neapolitan pizza held to a standard usually found much closer to the source.

Worth the Visit

Located on 4th Street in downtown Santa Rosa, L'Oro di Napoli is a straightforward destination for anyone who cares about pizza done right. The Gambero Rosso recognition is not handed out lightly — it reflects consistent quality and a genuine command of the craft. If Neapolitan pizza is what you're after in Northern California, this is one address that has earned its reputation.
