You’ve most likely eaten rather a lot of pizzas in your time. Thick ones. Thin ones. Takeaway ones. Regrettable post-night-out ones at 2am. So you might think that after all this time, you know your way around a pizza. Well? The Neapolitans are here to tell you you’re wrong. You don’t know pizza until you’ve had it right here, in Naples. For starters, this is literally the birthplace of pizza. Naples invented the thing. Then there’s the fresh AF Neopolitan ingredients; San Marzano tomatoes and the juiciest mozzarella di bufala. And then there’s Gods at the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, making sure those pizza pies are of the very best quality they can be. And if you only know about the Julia Roberts pizza from ‘Eat Pray Love’, you’re in for a treat. That famous pizza doesn’t feature once on our list – these are even better. Here are the best pizzas in Naples.  RECOMMENDED:🍝 The best restaurants in Naples📍 The best things to do in Naples🏠 The best Airbnbs in Naples🏨 The best hotels in Naples Planning your next trip?

Naples is a city that does what it wants. And that doesn’t stop with the food. Here, Neapolitan fare is king, from impeccably silky vongole to risottos and pasta pies. And don’t think we forgot the pizza – the first ever pizza on earth was baked in Naples, don’t forget – with the lightest, thinnest base you can imagine and a seriously airy crust.  But the foodie highlights here don’t stop at classic pasta and pizza. Naples has long attracted creatives who dare to do things differently, and you’ll find innovative cuisine of all forms flying out of the kitchens. But what is criminally underrated, in our humble opinion, is the city’s seafood offerings, which are some of the freshest you’ll get in the whole country.  RECOMMENDED:🍕 The best pizzerias in Naples📍 The best things to do in Naples🏠 The best Airbnbs in Naples🏨 The best hotels in Naples Planning your next trip?
