Neapolitan pizza
Naples wood-fired pie
Neapolitan pizza is the original style from Naples, Italy—thin-crusted with a puffy, charred rim, topped simply with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
The dough is hand-stretched and baked at extremely high temperatures in a wood-fired oven, producing a soft, slightly chewy texture with leopard-spotted blistering.
Authentic versions follow strict traditional standards: The restaurant specializes in Neapolitan pizza with San Marzano tomatoes.
