Your favorite pizza in Italy 6Comments
If you travel around Italy, you will certainly notice that food and recipes change completely from region to region and most of the times also from town to town. Even pasta, which is always thought of as the typical Italian food, is made with different ingredients depending on whether you are in the South or North of Italy.
Pizza is certainly one of the few national Italian dishes. Pizza was first made in Naples, but now you find it anywhere in Italy. The pizza dough is always made with the same ingredients: water, yeast, flour, salt, extra virgin olive oil.
What changes from region to region is the thickness of the dough or may be the topping variety.
We are putting together a list of some of the best pizza places in Italy. Please tell us where in Italy you had your best pizza!
We agree: Neapolitan pizza is fantastic….we could never stop eating it. We should organize a pizza tour in that area: buffalo mozzarella and pizza…what else!?
hands down, Neopolitan pizza! for me words can not describe.
Hi Joseph! we only had the pizza patata once in Liguria….one of our favorite places for focaccia and pizza! we love that pizza with potatoes and rosemary! IN Liguria they even have it for breakfast with milk!
Oh so very difficult to the ‘Best’ so many towns and ‘Pizzeria’ Yet one that stands among my favorites was in Rodi. A place that was owned by Marizio “pizza patata’ thin slices of patata with fine olive oil and rosemary, a bit of chili. Just as Nonna Spano made it for me as a child. We traveled twice over 130 km just to get some more!
Never understood “See Naples and die”, chaos is what we found there. But a beautiful museum and the best pizza till now. It’s a Margaritha from Di Matteo, Via dei Tribunali 94 in Napoli. Good luck finding a better one. Stefan from Holland
Ciao Stefan!! how nice to hear from you. Usually we say “you see Naples and then you die” because of Naples beauties. After you go there you don’t need to visit anything else. Of course this was said before people found out about LECCE!
But I agree with you: i have never had better pizza than the one I had in Naples! The buffalo mozzarello, the pachino tomatoes …and i think the water they use to make the dough….everything is just perfect!
