Pizza in Naples


During our last trip, we made an afternoon stop in Naples. I was a bit concerned as I always heard that Naples was dirty and crime ridden. I didn't know what to expect from this large city. Well my first impression was my scarf falling off my shoulder and someone chasing me to return it. Then we saw the sweetest elderly couple sitting against a window sill just watching the world go by. To my left there was a younger boy on a skateboard and the Piazza was brimming with locals and tourists. I knew enough to know that I would return here for a few day visit. I think Naples could be a very vibrant and passionate city.

Our friend Charlie who loves Italy more than I do, if that's possible! Well he decided we had to have pizza here in Naples so we sat at an outdoor cafe and had pizza and wine. I had the four cheese pizza and I did not think that I could even eat half the plate. I finished the whole plate. To me the crust was the best part! But Josette didn't think so....................

Naples owes it's favorite pizza award to buffalo mozzerella cheese, which recently caused a stink
throughout Italy.
