If you’re visiting Naples and only have time for one pizza, make it L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele. Known around the world (and famously featured in Eat, Pray, Love), this no-frills spot has been serving up legendary Neapolitan pizza since 1870. With just two classic choices — Margherita or Marinara — it’s a masterclass in simplicity, letting the fresh ingredients and wood-fired crust do all the talking.
Expect a line out the door (it's part of the experience!), but it moves quickly — and trust us, it’s worth the wait. The pizza is huge, soft, slightly charred, and dripping with flavor. Bonus: it’s incredibly affordable.
Tip for tourists: Go during off-peak hours (like late afternoon) for a shorter wait, and don’t be surprised if you share a table — it’s all part of the charm!
⭐️ Rating: 5/5 – Authentic, unforgettable, and a must-do in Naples.
Tasty Toppings: the Pantelleria Caper - “Cappero di Pantelleria”
This is no ordinary caper…
This is no ordinary caper. It’s briny, bold, and full of character. The Cappero di Pantelleria is a small ingredient that makes a big impact. Grown on the windswept volcanic island of Pantelleria, these capers are hand-picked and naturally preserved in sea salt, intensifying their rich, floral flavor. Ideal for adding a zesty pop to pizzas, pastas, or antipasti, this Sicilian gem brings a taste of the Mediterranean sun straight to your plate.
