Our Story

In September of 1958, two Brothers-in-law opened (NAH PO LE OH NE) Pizza house. Known to the locals as Mike & Joe's. Uncle Mike was a classically trained Opera singer from Capri and Uncle Joe was a fisherman from Gloucester, Massachusetts. In need of a prep kid and dishwasher they hired their 14 year old Brother-in-law Sal(my father), and so it began.

Originally operating 7 days a week 4 pm - 4 am the pizza house quickly became a hometown favorite. Friday night's after the SUHI football game Napoleone's was the place to be. After a long hard shift National City's finest turned us into their favorite P.D. hangout. During the "MILES OF BARS" years we were the after hours Stomp, packing them in at 2 am and throwing them out at 4 am.

In 1971 we closed down on Sunday's and opened up for lunch. Dad & Uncle Joe ran the pizza house together for over three decades alternating day and night shifts. A true family business, Sal, Frankie, Joseph and Anthony (Joe's kids) all put their time in Slinging Pizza's though high school and beyond.

We have become a landmark in National city and been immortalized in song (The Ghost of Saturday night after hours at Napoleone's Pizza House) by former employee and Rock n Roll Hall of Fame member Tom Waits.
