Best Pizza in Naples? A few pizzerias you can’t miss

Naples is all about pizza and amazing food but sometimes it’s hard if you don’t have a lot of time or if you don’t know where to go. For sure if you’re in Naples you cannot miss the opportunity to eat an amazing pizza and even if it’s not easy at all to recommend one place or another because pretty much all the “pizzerie” are amazing and also cheap I’ve tried to give you an overview of some of the most famous pizzerie in Naples, the unmissable ones or the ones you can try to book once in Naples.

But let’s start with a few recommendations, just to be sure to be warm enough to feed our belly.

1.Queuing is good

The queue is inevitable in some of these places and while you’re you queuing you can have your “cuoppo”, a mix of fried goodies to be eaten with your hands.

2.Speed ​​

Without realizing it, you will be soon sitting at the table and you’ve already started to eat. This is normal: the turnover is very high, the continuous change and the ability of staff in putting pressure to you without you even noticing is part of the experience.

3.No frills

We are not in a Michelin restaurant and then you will eat in genuine places as a part of the experience: better to say no straight away rather than criticize after.

4. Never talk about football…

… and if you support Juventus do not tell anyone. Believe me!

Now, let’s go eat!
