Neapolitan Pizza – The Classic Taste of Naples 🍕🇮🇹

Neapolitan pizza, or Pizza Napoletana, is one of Italy’s most iconic culinary creations — a true masterpiece that captures the heart and soul of Naples. Known for its thin, soft, and slightly chewy crust, this pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven at extremely high temperatures (around 430–480°C) for just 60–90 seconds. This quick baking process gives it that signature puffy, charred edge (cornicione) while keeping the center light, tender, and flavorful.

Traditional Neapolitan pizza is crafted using simple, high-quality ingredients — freshly made dough from finely milled Italian “00” flour, San Marzano tomatoes grown in the volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius, fresh mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella), fragrant basil leaves, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Together, these ingredients create a balance of freshness, acidity, and creamy richness that’s hard to match.

There are a few famous variations, such as:

• Margherita: Topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil — representing the colors of the Italian flag.

• Marinara: Simpler and older, made with tomato, garlic, oregano, and olive oil — no cheese.

Neapolitan pizza is more than just food — it’s a symbol of Italian tradition and craftsmanship, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Every bite delivers a taste of Naples’ vibrant culture and centuries-old passion for authentic, artisanal pizza making.
