Campania Coal Fired Pizza

Food & service A+. We had the margherita pizza, meatball app, apple salad… ALL delicious. We brought home a nutella pizza for dessert which was pretty good too.
It was Sunday night and there was about a 35 minute wait (expected) but the host was on top of things and they have a heat lamp out front so no big deal. Small room with nice décor. Our waitress was lovely. The manager on duty was excellent as well. Highly recommend. Just come in with patience to wait for a table during peak hours. Its worth it.

This place is great!
Coal fired ovens and fresh mutza, can’t be beat.
Service was very friendly and attentive.
Had an individual pie, out of this world.

Love this place! Good food and great prices. Both dine in and delivery is highly recommended.

Best, fresh pizza in the Bay Ridge area!
Really fresh, good quality ingredients. Also, I am Italian and super picky with eating meatballs that I do not make myself at home and I love their meatball appetizer! That says a lot.

This an excellent restaurant. My family enjoyed a Margarita pie, a Melanzane pie, Fried Calamari, a Caesar Salad & a Nutella Pie for dessert. The pies were fresh, flavorful and crispy. The calamari was soft and perfectly fried. Many places serve over fried & rubbery calamari but not here. The lettuce in the caesar salad was fresh and crisp and the dressing was good although I felt they used a bit too much of it. The Nutella Pie looks beautiful and the cinnamon is a nice touch. The warm bread served served before the meal with pecorino romano & olive oil is a wonderful alternative to butter. Campania’s complimentary valet parking is the cherry on the cake, giving it five stars.

In Bayridge there are very few places were if someone asked me to tell them where to get good pizza I can give them an name! But this little gem won over my heart! They are fully equipped with a dining area and a bar!
We ordered the the vodka pizza and it was amazing! It was thin, sauce was great and it was fresh! A true slice of Brooklyn! You can visibly see this huge brick oven contraption where your pizza goes to cook! I cant wait to go back and try there regular margherita pizza. Staff was very attentive and sweet. Interior décor is so romantic and cozy.
The wings, are beyond amazing. I mean just fantastic, it is a MUST TRY appetizer!!! 5 pieces were only four dollars!
All in all it was a great meal and if your in bayridge craving some amazing pizza and wings this is the place to go. I will be back to try more of there pizza and other food!
Great experience. I mean what are you waiting for go stuff your face with there awesome pizza!!!

I came one night with a few friends and we shared a pie and wings. We tried the vodka sauce pie and it was excellent! Lots of times places don’t make a good vodka sauce but they defiantly did. It was a brick oven style pizza with the thin crust. We also tried the wings and they where really good as well. They weren’t too spicy but they were just right.
It’s a nice little place with dim lights and the waiters all same helpful and friendly. I would deff amity come back here again to try other foods.

Located on the far end of Bayridge, towards the Verazzano Bridge… Campania is the best for pizza with a nice dine-​in experience out off all the pizza shops in Bay Ridge! The pizza here in general is over-​all really fantastic! I’ve been here 3 times, and always enjoyed my meal here that I can’t believe I haven’t wrote a review the first time! Service is usually great, and food comes out quick but fresh
PIZZA $ 13 – 18 — these pizzas are coal-​fired, which is my personal favorite over brick oven or wood-​fire. The pizza crust is always thin, crispy, yet soft and chewy. The one I always tend to order from here is the LOMBARDA, because it has my favorite toppings I normally love on pizza; arugula & prosciutto. They make this very well here, the white truffle oil on this pizza is fragrant but not too over bearing or non-​existent and every topping works perfect on this pizza.
FRIED CHICKEN WINGS (5pcs $ 4, 10pcs $ 8, etc) — YUMM. Perfectly crispy skin and super juicy! I love how they put the mild sauce on the side, not only does it keep from the chicken wings being soggy but it gives me the option if I want to dip it or not for that extra flavor and kick. However, the wings & drums are a tad bit on the smaller side.
POLPETTE DI NONNA $ 12 — Their meatballs seems to get a lot of mentions here, but I thought they were just OK-​ay. I’ve had many better ones before so nothing great about these.
Their oven baked sandwiches on their homemade focaccia bread I remembered was also a wonderful choice! Pass on their red sangria, taste so artificial, worse than some of the pre-​made in a can/​bottle ones.

Food here is great. The meatballs rock and I haven’t had a pizza I didn’t like (and I’ve had most of them).
Prepare for a long wait during popular dinner times since they don’t take reservations.
What I’m docking a star for is that they have a side door that’s constantly opened and it lets a lot of cold air in. I had to wear my winter coat throughout dinner.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Everything was extremely fresh and the service was excellent. This place is extremely cozy and welcoming. There were people here that were clearly regulars but I was not treated any differently than them. I can actually see myself turing into a regular here myself. There is admittedly a lot of great Italian food in Bay Ridge but this is my new favorite. I went with a large group so we ordered a ton of stuff and tasted it all!
Apps:
Baked Clams: delicious blend of bread crumbs with tender crab
Spicy buffalo wings: Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with hot wings and i LOVED these! Tender with the perfect amount of hot sauce. Blue cheese was delicious too which makes it that much more enjoyable!!!
Cesar Salad: crispy fresh lettuce
Entrée:
Chicken Parm sandwich with fresh mozzarella, fresh bread and great sauce
Eggplant Parm sandwich: thinly sliced eggplant that wasn’t tough and had a great consistency.
Margarita pizza: excellent, cheesy & hot
Broccoli rabe sandwich: delicious fresh broccoli
Everything was fantastic and I can not wait to return I recommend everything listed above!

Every single time I go, it is always so good! Pizza is delicious. Their meatball app surprised me. I’m italian (from a long line of really good cooks) so I rarely, if ever, eat meatballs out. My sister wanted to try these, so we did and you know what – I liked them! Don’t tell my grandma, but they were delicious.
I don’t love that they don’t have wine glasses, but I quickly got over that when I ordered a beer. Definitely a place to try.

Pretty decent Italian restaurant! Shared a pie and meatballs with a friend here for lunch and they were both fresh and high quality. I enjoyed the Margherita style pizza with sausages; it is on the thinner side. The meatballs were HUGE and juicy!
It was pretty empty during lunch, and the waitstaff were all very friendly with anything we needed.

So I will start by saying wow… in my opinion hands down better then totonnos pizzeria professional and respectful staff… I didn’t get much but the little I did get was really good and tasteful definitely coming back for sure… P. S I loved the Christmas music they had lol gave a flash back of my childhood

What a great team of employees and clearly under the right management. So polite and welcoming. I’ve had several meals here, never disappointed. The food is just delicious in every sense of the word. HUGE pot of mussels, perfectly crunchy coated baked clams (L&B used to be my #1 but these take 1^st place now). I have yet to find a salad like the apple salad here, all fresh and crisp ingredients. I’m not really sure how to describe the Lombarda pie, it’s heaven. Clearly I’m still on a food high. Thank you Campania, will keep coming back for sure.

Went to Campania for the first time last night.
When you walk in, you automatically feel the family-​style warmth. The interior is well decorated with the wood and exposed brick wall.
My boyfriend and I went there for the pizza, but we decided to start off with a few appetizers of the meatballs and baked clams. The appetizers were just good, not great. Our Margherita pizza however… A-​MA-​ZING. It was so good we ordered a second pie! Thin crust, perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and not a lot of oil. The main attraction is definitely the pizza. Can’t wait to go there again and again.

Stumbled on this place while exploring bay ridge. We had the margarita pizza. Extremely tasty and light! I’m not usually one for thin crust but this pizza has just the amount of crunch. Pizza wasn’t overly salty but sill had great flavor. After having three slices of pizza, still managed to feel light. Cute atmosphere and extremely reasonably priced. Hands down best pizza I’ve had in Brooklyn so far.

Very welcoming place great location. Friendly waiter Steven noticed I was military and quickly told me about the discount. Very young guy so he didn’t know much about the drinks but he def made the effort in accommodating us. We came in for a late (9pm) chicken Caesar salad after the gym and it was everything I envisioned when I walked out the gym lol. Great place I’d recommend it to anyone.
Oh and there’s plenty parking (TD bank lot across the street)

This place is so cute!
My boyfriend and I just left the gym and really felt for a chicken Caesar salad. Saw this cute little spot on the corner and decided hey an Italian pizza shop has got to have a decent salad. Walked in and the environment was lively and friendly.
Greeted at the door by Stephen who welcomed us In. Noticed we jus came from the gym and offered a seat either at the booth or table. We weren’t quite sure if we wanted to have the salad to stay or go but he was patient with us. Giving us all our options.
We started off with a margarita which was yummy! They def didn’t skimp on the liquor. I wished they had flavored, but I jus stuck with the regular patron margarita and I was not disappointed!
We ordered the salad which tasted fresh. It was so good! Glad we popped in! We will def be back to try the pizza next time or maybe another salad as the menu offered some pretty appealing items.

We’ll must say that this was a marked improvement over our last visit. The service was much better & the food was DELICIOUS. I NEVER eat all the crust on my pizza, but THIS crust was FANTASTIC. I asked for my 16″ Margherita pizza to be well done & it was. SO crispy & tasty. I had THREE pieces, which I NEVER do. LOVED it. I also had an excellent Campagna salad & my husband had the carciofi salad; both were delicious. He also had mozzarella with roasted peppers & long hots; he loved them. For dessert we shared a piece of Italian cheese cake– great. The cappuccino was great too. All in all, an excellent meal. Nice job Campagna

I made it my business, as a Bay Ridgite… Bay Ridgeon (?), to come to Campania.
As per my sneaky ways, I made sure it was during my birthday.
Needless to say I, like every other person on Earth*, loves pizza.
We got apps; deliciously almost perfectly breaded zucchini sticks, uneventful tastes-​like-​they-​came-​out-​of-​a-​box mozzarella sticks, and pretty amazing long hots (italian long peppers with their red sauce with a great hit of anchovy and a hint of spice).
But the star of the trip was pizza. We got a white (a Torino) and red (a Saliccia). The Torino was a good balance of zingy lemon, fresh/​cool mellow-​spicy arugula, thinly sliced proscuitto (which in an of itself is one of my favorite of the cured meats), and salty and poppy shaves of parmesan. The Saliccia was pretty basic, some red sauce, great/​fresh mozzarella, the slightly bitterness of broccoli rabe, and spots of italian «sweet» sausage.
The star of the pizza show was their crust. Stiff but chewy. Light and crusty… and most importantly, not charred.
The con (i didn’t say this was a pros: cons… but now it is):
The service was lacking in any pizzazz. We were greeted with a «how many… sit wherever you’d like.», which I guess is fine in the long run… but then our waiter didn’t give us his name and was ill-​attentive.
Would I continue coming here? Undoubtedly yes.
