The best Pizza itineray in Naples 2025 ( with my view ) + Best in Town + 7 Essential Features of an Authentic Neapolitan Pizza + History
If you’re a pizza lover, you’ve probably heard of Neapolitan pizza. Often referred to as Pizza Napoletana , is a culinary masterpiece mad in Naples as homage to the queen . Its popularity has spread worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why.
Brief history
A baker created the first pizza we would recognize today. In 1889, Raffaele Esposito created the Pizza Margherita for Queen Margherita of Savoy. He topped it with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil to mirror the Italian flag, in a variation of the popular local fare that is now known as Neapolitan Pizza ( the well known Marinara tomato , garlic , anchovies)
Here are the top 7 must-have features of any Neapolitan Pizza
1. The Right Dough:
At the heart of any Neapolitan pizza is its dough. It’s made with a special type of flour, typically “00” flour, which results in a soft, chewy, and slightly crispy crust. The dough is also traditionally left to ferment for 24-48 hours, giving it a distinct flavour and texture. This slow fermentation process allows the yeast to work its magic, resulting in a crust that’s both airy and flavourful.
2. San Marzano Tomatoes
Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are adorned with San Marzano tomatoes, known for their sweetness and low acidity. These tomatoes are typically hand-crushed into a sauce and spread evenly over the dough.
3. Fresh Mozzarella or Fior di Latte ( My fav. is Fior di Latte)
Fiordilatte is a mozzarella made exclusively from whole cow's milk, while true mozzarella is made only and exclusively from buffalo milk. Mozzarella cheese used on Neapolitan pizzas is usually made from fresh buffalo milk or cow’s milk. It’s known for its creamy texture and mild flavour, and it’s carefully distributed on the pizza. As it melts in the intense heat, it creates a luscious, gooey layer that complements the other ingredients perfectly.4. Fresh Basil Leaves
Fresh basil leaves are a key ingredient, adding a burst of aromatic flavour and a touch of vibrant green to the pizza. Their fragrance intensifies in the heat of the oven, infusing the entire pizza with a delightful herbal essence that’s unmistakably Neapolitan.
5. Olive Oil
High-quality extra virgin olive oil is drizzled on the pizza before and after baking, enhancing the overall flavour and adding a delightful sheen to the crust.
6. Authentic Oven
One of the defining features of Neapolitan pizza is its cooking method. It must be baked in an authentic oven at extremely high temperatures (around 800-900°F or 427-482°C) for just 90-120 seconds.
7. A Thin Center and Puffy Cornicione
A true Neapolitan pizza has a thin, soft center that’s slightly wet in the middle. It’s surrounded by a puffy, leopard-spotted cornicione (the outer crust). The unique combination of textures creates a delightful contrast, with the center offering a tender bite and the cornicione delivering a satisfying crunch.

✅ Pizza "5 Consistenze della Cipolla" : a wood-fired pizza with fior di latte mozzarella and onions in five ways (onion cream, fermented onion, crispy onion, burnt onion, and onion mayonnaise)
✅ Pizza "Genovese Secondo Martucci" : inspired by the Neapolitan genovese pasta sauce.
✅ Pizza Futuro di Marinara : He thought of giving a new take on Marinara Casertana, the one with capers, anchovies, garlic and oregano, and give a Futuristic interpretation, using the same dough of other pizzas, but in a different way, so as to give a special texture through three steps of cooking. He first steams it at 100°C, then fries it at 180°C and finally bakes it at 400°C: these three thermic shocks create the unique texture of Futuro di marinara.
