Eating Pizza in Naples

Naples is known as the birthplace of pizza and is still often heralded as having the best pizza in Italy. Our neighbor Angelo, who's from Naples, told us that the best place for pizza is Quartiere Forcella da Michele. Here one can try pure, simple pizza as it was originally made - only two kinds, margherita and marinara. But for those who have to have toppings on a pizza, go to the nearby Trianon, where they make lots of different pizzas.

Italian pizza baked in a wood oven usually has a thinner crust than pizza in the United States. Pizza is usually eaten in the evening and many pizzerie don't make pizza at lunch time, especially in summer. Each person orders an individual pizza, usually with only one or two toppings. Oh, and pepperoni means peppers, not the salami-like topping found in the US.
