Campania Coal Fired Pizza
“Even though Bay ridge is kinda out of the way, this place is worth the commute.”
“I have yet to find a salad like the apple salad here, all fresh and crisp ingredients.”
“The mozzarella sticks were perfect crispy outside tender hot stringy mozzarella cheese inside, the dipping marinara sauce was fresh and taste homemade.”

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 decor 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.
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 clams
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
Entree:
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!

Good service in a nice little package in a quiet southern corner of Bay Ridge. I came in wanting to love to the food because, well, who doesn't want to be in the know on a great neighborhood spot? Unfortunately, I found the pizza mediocre (crust overcooked and poor topping combos on select pies; at least two spots on 3rd Avenue better in response to claims this it the 'best in Bay Ridge') and the other dishes merely okay. I think on food it's somewhere between a 3 and 4 out of 5 (closer to 3), and definitely not worthy of the 4.5 Yelp stars it's averaging as of June 2016. Sorry not sorry.
I am a fan of this Italiano restaurant. The staff here are very friendly which reflects positively on it's management. It was a girls night out, we got Wings, Calamari, Rice balls, and 3 Pies of Pizza for the 6 of us. Everything was tasty, except the rice balls. The rice balls not only lacked flavor, but salt, and I don't even like salt. The bartender was new, she created a delicious pomegranate cocktail and didn't charge me for it! Said it was on the house because I actually ordered a pomegranate martini. The girls decided to get two pitchers of white sangria to wash everything down, which did us nice and induced a few belly laughs out of us. I will surely return.
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.
I came to Campania for dinner over the weekend and I was so disappointed! I've been waiting to come and eat here for so long and it wasn't what I thought it would be. A group of four of us got there around 630pm and we had a 30-40 minute wait, because they don't take reservations. They don't have a bar to wait at so we went down the block had a cocktail and came back. As soon as we came back out table was ready. We sat at a booth close to the door and by the window, between the draft coming through the window and the air coming in every time the door opened we were freezing.
Our server came over and took our drink orders and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. For appetizers we ordered the riceballs, calamari, and the artichoke which was a special. The riceballs were delicious and so was the calamari, the artichoke was cooked perfectly, you could eat the whole leaf but the stuffing was tasteless.
As entrees I got the small sausage and pepper sandwich which wasn't bad, but the focaccia bread it came on was so soggy and it ruined the sandwich for me. A salad came on the side that was really good. We all had the issue with the soggy bread on our sandwiches which was really a turn off.
For dessert we got a piece of tiramisu to split.
Our server was really sweet and very attentive, she continuously came over to our table and made the dinning experience really enjoyable. I would attempt to go back and try it one more time, and maybe go with the pizza next time.
I actually think this is my favorite Brooklyn restaurant.
Consistent quality, diverse menu options, reasonably priced and a warm and dark atmosphere. I've never had a bad meal here.
Most recently started with Shrimp oreganato appetizer, which was amazing, and finished off with small chicken parm sandwich, which comes with a really nice side salad.
I think the app was $14 and the sandwich about $12. Really worth it.
