Traditional Neapolitan pizza in Naples
A starting point for classic flavours and pizza enjoyed straight from the oven.
What to look for
Margherita and marinara are two starting points for exploring simple flavours. Look at how the menu describes dough, tomatoes, cheese and toppings: even traditional menus reflect each restaurant’s own interpretation.
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.
Does traditional always mean the same menu?
No. Classics may sit alongside house specials: check the restaurant menu for the actual options.
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.
