On our last night in Naples, we decided to get the most out of the pizza capitol; we would not order a pizza each at dinner, but order only one pizza, share it, and then move on to another pizza place. Even though we were full after the first half pizza, we still went through with the plan…
In all, we ate at five pizzerias (in four days) – Da Michelle, Trianon, Azzura, Sorbino, and El Pizzaiolo del Presidente . They were all delicious. Strangely enough, and Jeff and I are in agreement about this, the pizza we enjoyed the most did not come from a place on “the list”. Our favorite – Pizzeria Azzura – Bellisimo!
As for dining experience – we agree that we were best entertained at Trianon. This place had three floors, with a pizza oven on each floor. Next to us was a large family with three or four children. They must have known the owners (or been the owners) as some of the children (5 or 6 years old?) were carrying globs of dough from the kitchen. It was adorable to watch them decorate their faces with it – dough balls plastered over their eyeballs, over their noses… preciosa!
Reminds me of the carrot cake comparison night at New Frontiers, but way better. What is the pizza like? Is it really different?
ReplyDeleteYes, quite different. The crist is very thin, but soft and chewy. It has been cooked in a wood-oven that is something like 700 degrees. (very hot kitchens) The pizza cooks in 3 minutes. The dough ends up with a subtle smokey-burned flavor on the edges that is actually delicious. The sauce and cheese are both supper fresh, which is tantalizing for the taste buds. We ate it everyday, and I would not have been tired of it for several months...
ReplyDeleteSounds DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteAmy, scroll down this page right now and look at the photos of you and Jeff. You remind me of a pair of hobbits with all of your curly-headed cuteness and contented food-savoring!
