Pizza Napolitana, also known as Neapolitan pizza, originated in Naples, Italy. It is a traditional style of pizza with a thin, soft, and chewy crust, topped with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and extra-virgin olive oil. The dish has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, with renowned pizzaiolos like Raffaele Esposito contributing to its popularity. The Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (True Neapolitan Pizza Association) preserves the authentic recipe and techniques. The best version of this dish can be found in Naples, particularly in pizzerias like Da Michele and Sorbillo. The key to a perfect Pizza Napolitana lies in using high-quality ingredients and a wood-fired oven to achieve the signature charred crust.
