"Bella pizzeria internamente, buon servizio. Sinceramente l’impasto della pizza non ci è piaciuto tanto."

"La fama del locale non è stata ritrovata nelle pizze. Impasto ottimo ma i condimenti un po' sottotono. Personale gentile, locale pulito e gradevole. Prezzi nella media"

"Siamo stati alla pizzeria Gaetano Paolella ad Acerra e fin dal nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti da Gaetano, una persona simpaticissima e davvero affabile. Ci ha trattati come se fossimo amici di vecchia data: un vero padrone di casa, eccezionale Nonostante il locale fosse pieno e la lista d’attesa piuttosto lunga, il servizio è stato rapidissimo. Gaetano è riuscito a farci accomodare in poco tempo, e si sa che spesso è più facile trovare un tavolo per due che per gruppi più grandi Passiamo alle portate: il crocché era semplicemente eccezionale. Per le pizze abbiamo scelto la San Gennaro, con pomodorini secchi, mozzarella e pomodoro San Marzano. Che dire? Squisita. Un’ottima esperienza sotto ogni aspetto. Torneremo presto e spesso, perché la pizzeria da Gaetano è davvero eccezionale."

"Chi dice che qui non si mangia bene mente o non sa cosa dire. Ho adorato subito il posto, ingresso un po' strettino ma poi in sala i tavoli sono ben distanziati. Il servizio è abbastanza veloce nonostante il pienone del sabato sera. Fritto asciutto e impasto pizza pazzesco. Leggerissimo. E poi il sapore... Insomma, dovete proprio andarci. Noi ci ritorneremo."

"Prima volta, un esperienza di gusto a 360 gradi. Presa una "Genovese" veramente buona ma soprattutto leggera nonostante l'orario serale. Da menzionare anche la frittura asciutta. Personale cordiale, ambiente accogliente, bagni puliti. Consigliato"

"Sono stata con la mia famiglia sabato a pranzo, erano anni che non mangiavo la pizza di Paolella e devo dire che non solo è stata una riconferma, mi ha stupito ancora di più. La ruota di carro era spettacolare, quel sapore di parmigiano che la rendeva ancora più speciale. Abbiamo provato anche gusti particolari con abbinamenti perfetti. Impasto buonissimo e super leggero."

"Absolutely the best pizza we ever had and we only stumbled upon this place accidentally. Best price too!! Friendly saff, quick service. We came back two more times, we loved it so much. We love Italy, we have been around the country, but this was our first time around Naples area and I must say the pizza around here is really something else! I couldn’t have enough of it! I wish we stayed longer, we already miss Gaetano Paolella."

"La pizza è molto molto buona (e anche molto grande), non la migliore che abbia mai mangiato ma rimane molto in alto nella mia classifica personale, il sabato sera c'è un pò di attesa da fare, arrivammo 20.30 e mangiammo alle 22. Parcheggio un pò difficile dato che su strada trafficata, anche se in sala ho sentito che a breve si spostavano in un altro locale più grande e con ampio parcheggio gratuito."
