Neapolitan Pizza

Neapolitan pizza is a style of pizza that originated in Naples, Italy. It is known for its thin, chewy crust, which is slightly charred in places, and its simple toppings. A traditional Neapolitan pizza is made with raw, crushed tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. It is typically cooked in a wood-fired oven at a very high temperature (around 800-900 degrees Fahrenheit) for just 60-90 seconds.

In the United States, Neapolitan pizza can be found in restaurants that specialize in this style of pizza. These restaurants often import the dough, sauce, and cheese directly from Italy in order to maintain the traditional flavor and texture. However, many restaurants also offer their own unique interpretations of Neapolitan pizza, with a variety of creative toppings and combinations.

Neapolitan pizza is known for its simplicity and focus on high-quality ingredients. It is a delicious and authentic option for pizza lovers looking for a traditional Italian experience. It is typically served unsliced and should be eaten with a fork and knife.
