Why Pizza on Via dei Tribunali matters
Pizza was born in Naples, and this street is where its history is easiest to taste. Old pizzerias serve simple Margheritas and marinaras with soft, blistered crust baked in wood-fired ovens. Queue like a local and order a whole pizza for yourself, because that's how it is done here.
Talking points
- The Margherita is said to be named after a queen of Italy.
- Dough is soft, with a puffed edge.
- Locals fold their pizzas to eat them.
- Queues can be long at the famous names; side-street pizzerias are also great.
