50 Top Pizza Italy #18
Our verdict
I Vesuviani belongs to the modern Campanian pizzeria movement, where dough technique now carries as much weight as toppings. The De Maria brothers’ Casoria project has Gambero Rosso’s tre spicchi recognition and works across wood-fired, pan, paddle and triple-cooked formats, making it a serious address for readers tracking the evolution of Neapolitan pizza beyond Naples itself.

I Vesuviani in Casoria is a modern Neapolitan pizzeria associated with brothers Federico and Francesco De Maria. The verified picture is focused rather than encyclopedic: the venue is known as a contemporary pizzeria, it has Gambero Rosso tre spicchi recognition, and it offers a variety of pizza styles.
That makes it relevant in Casoria for diners looking specifically for a recognised pizzeria.
A modern Neapolitan pizzeria with tre spicchi recognition
The strongest confirmed external marker is Gambero Rosso’s tre spicchi award. For readers using restaurant guides to plan a meal, that recognition identifies I Vesuviani as a pizzeria with notable guide recognition rather than simply as a local address.
The De Maria brothers, Federico and Francesco, are the names attached to the project. Verified descriptions emphasise dedication, passion and a variety of pizza styles, but they do not confirm a detailed list of formats or preparations. That distinction matters: I Vesuviani can be described as a modern Neapolitan pizzeria, but unsupported specifics about individual pies, dough counts or cooking sequences should be treated with caution.
For comparison within a broader Campanian itinerary, I Vesuviani can be read alongside other serious dining options such as 'E Curti Ristorante Tipico di Angela Ceriello & Co SAS in Sant Anastasia, while remaining distinct in format: here, the confirmed focus is pizza.
The De Maria brothers' project belongs to the modern side of tradition
The useful editorial frame is modern Neapolitan pizza in Casoria.
That still gives the venue a clear role. In a region where pizza can be both everyday food and a subject of close attention, I Vesuviani sits on the modern side of the category.
Within the surrounding dining context, it differs from restaurants such as Taverna Estia or Contaminazioni, where expectations may centre on a different restaurant format. I Vesuviani’s confirmed identity is simpler and more specific: a modern Neapolitan pizzeria in Casoria with tre spicchi recognition.
How to read it against Italy's wider informal-dining scene
Italy’s informal dining scene includes many formats, from trattorias to contemporary restaurants to pizzerias. I Vesuviani belongs to the pizzeria side of that map, and the confirmed information suggests that its interest lies in modern Neapolitan pizza rather than in a broad restaurant menu.
The practical planning note is also clear. I Vesuviani is closed on Monday and opens in the evening from Tuesday through Sunday, from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM.
For a Casoria itinerary, the most reliable reading is simple: choose I Vesuviani when the priority is a recognised modern pizzeria. Readers building a wider local plan can cross-check other dining in Casoria generically, then decide whether they want pizza at I Vesuviani or a different restaurant format elsewhere.
The broader Italian context is useful only as a frame, not as a source of extra claims. I Vesuviani’s confirmed profile is compact: Casoria, Federico and Francesco De Maria, casual dress code, evening hours, modern Neapolitan pizzeria identity and Gambero Rosso tre spicchi recognition.
