About this

Pizza Napoletana, originating in Naples, Italy, features a thin, soft-edged dough made from tipo 00 flour, yeast, water, and salt, baked for 60-90 seconds at over 900°F in a wood-fired oven. Topped simply with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil, it holds Protected Designation of Origin status, requiring production within the Naples region using traditional methods. Eating it involves folding the floppy slice and consuming it on the go from historic pizzerie like Da Michele or Sorbillo.
