Neapolitans

Citizens of Naples

Neapolitans are people from Naples, the southern Italian city.

The word also refers to a style of ice cream with three parallel stripes—typically chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry—served in a single block: We always fought over who got the chocolate stripe of the Neapolitan.

Neapolitan pizza features a thin, soft crust with charred spots from a wood-fired oven.
