Naples Pizza Pilgrimage: Where to Eat for Under €7

The Capital of Pizza

In Naples, pizza is not luxury dining; it is a fundamental civil right. UNESCO-protected Neapolitan pizza remains the greatest food bargain in Europe.

The Big Four Historical Pizzerias

1. Pizzeria Gino Sorbillo (Via dei Tribunali)

• The Classic: Pizza Margherita with buffalo mozzarella (€6.00).
• Strategy: Put your name on the door clipboard at 11:45 AM for 12:00 PM lunch opening.

2. L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele (Via Cesare Sersale)

• The Purist: Serves only two pizzas: Marinara (€5.00) and Margherita (€5.50).
• Strategy: Grab a numbered paper ticket outside and wait 30 to 45 minutes on the street.

3. Pizzeria Di Matteo (Via dei Tribunali)

• The Street Window: Famous for fried pizza (pizza fritta) folded with ricotta and cracklings for €4.00 eaten on your feet.
