Contemporary pizza in Naples
A guide to modern interpretations of dough, textures and flavour combinations.
What to look for
Contemporary describes different approaches, often focusing on the raised crust and presentation. Look beyond the photograph: ask about size and ingredients and choose according to your taste.
Choosing your pizzeria
Start with your preferred area and check the current menu. Each pizzaiolo may interpret these labels differently: ask which dough, size and toppings are available on the day of your visit.
Is contemporary pizza always gourmet?
No. The labels may overlap, but one mainly describes a style and the other an approach to the menu.
This is a guide to the style, not a list of certified restaurants. Individual pizzeria specialities will be added to listings after verification.
Match your taste to your itinerary
A quick snack and a sit-down dinner call for different choices. Consider where you want to go, the time you have and the current menu. A pizza style is a starting point; restaurant-specific information helps you make the actual choice. Begin with the neighbourhoods or compare the guide’s listings.
