Pepperoni Pizza

“This Napoli's location is my absolute favorite pizza spot when I want to have more authentic Italian food and I want to go out to get it. I only gave four stars on atmosphere because it is a little old school as far as the tables and they don't really focus on decor, but I think that's because all of their star quality is in the kitchen and in the service that they provide, which is so much more important than how the restaurant looks. They are great for take out as well, but it's really the food that makes me choose Napoli's for pizza ans Italian food, and it's the service that keeps me coming back this particular Napoli's location in Oakwood!

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is in a strip mall, so getting to the door is easy, but getting through the door may be tricky bc the doors are a bit narrow. But the accessibility once you're in is very high - you can easily find seating with space to park a wheelchair.“

What more could you ask for? We will return in the very near future.“
