Piazza Sannazaro 201/B, 80122 Naples (NA), Italy
50 Kalò is Ciro Salvo's celebrated Naples pizzeria in the Mergellina area, built around an obsessive study of dough. The name reflects Neapolitan pizza culture: '50' is linked with bread in the local Smorfia, while 'kalò' evokes something good or beautiful. Salvo is especially known for highly hydrated dough, long fermentation, light texture and carefully selected toppings. The result is unmistakably Neapolitan but contemporary in precision, with a broad choice of pizzas and a strong wine and ingredient program. The Piazza Sannazaro location is the best-known branch and sits close to the seafront and Mergellina.
From Napoli Centrale, the most convenient public-transport route is Line 2 from Napoli Piazza Garibaldi to Napoli Mergellina; from Mergellina station, Piazza Sannazaro is only a short walk of roughly 5-10 minutes. A taxi from Centrale usually takes around 20 minutes outside heavy traffic. From Naples Capodichino Airport, a direct taxi is the easiest choice and typically takes about 25-35 minutes. By public transport, take the Alibus to Piazza Garibaldi/Central Station, then continue on Line 2 to Mergellina. The pizzeria is also conveniently placed for a walk along the Lungomare and toward Villa Comunale.
