Useful tips

• Book in advance: many pizzerias have limited seating and long waits, so it pays to call or make reservations online.
• Check closing days: some pizzerias close on Mondays or certain days.
• Try local specialties: in addition to margherita, taste fried montanare, fried pizza, and typical Neapolitan desserts.
• Explore the neighborhood: after pizza get lost in the alleys of the Quartieri Spagnoli, in the Pignasecca market or in Vomero to discover markets, murals and artisan workshops.
