The Excellencies of Italian Pizza A Journey through the Best Regional Pizzerias. Dear lovers of good Italian cuisine and, in particular, of delicious pizza, today I take you on a journey through the different regions of Italy to discover the best pizzerias and their hidden secrets. From north to south, from the crunchiness of the base to the perfect balance of flavours, Italian pizza is a real culinary masterpiece, and each region has its own unique interpretation.

He North: Refined Tastes and Tradition

Let's start our food tour in northern Italy, where pizza meets elegance and sophistication. In Milan, the city of fashion, you will find pizzerias offering gourmet pizzas with delicious ingredients such as Parma ham and gorgonzola. The thin, crispy crust is a signature of these pizzerias, which place the accent on the quality of flavours.

The center: Heart and Traditional Flavor

Moving towards the center of the country, we arrive in Rome, where the pizza takes on a round and generous shape. Here you will find the famous “pizza slices”, sold by weight and often served in rectangular portions. The secret is in the dough, which takes time to rise, ensuring a light and digestible base. Add fresh ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, and you will have a real culinary experience.

He South: Naples and the Art of Neapolitan Pizza

But no conversation about Italian pizza would be complete without an homage to Naples, where the real pizza was born. The pizzerias here still follow the traditional recipe, with the characteristic base thick at the edges and thin in the center. Buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil are absolute musts.
