Best pizzas outside of Naples
Don't go to any pizza place - choose the best.
What is so special about the pizza in Naples?
Neapolitan pizza, or pizza Napoletana, is a type of pizza that has its origins in Naples. It is made of fresh ingredients from the area of Campania like pizza dough, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and olive oil. The pizza is then baked for 60 to 90 seconds in a minimum 450°C stone oven with a wood fire. The result is a fluffy, doughy and cheesy pizza that is slightly watery in the middle because of the fresh ingredients. Luckily, there are pizzas in other cities as well that are just as good as the pizza from Naples. So, we created a list with best pizzas outside of Naples that are really special:

A place where the best Danish, local, sustainable and organic produce is combined with Italian craftsmanship.
