Real pizza comes from Naples

Hi guys.
Howe are you doing? My life in Spain is going well but summer is over now :-(. However you know that I love Italy, right? I miss my favourite country :-( So, today I have decided to write an article related to Italy. It has been a while when I was last time in Naples. 3 year ago I defitelly changed my opinion about pizza.

Do you know where pizza was born?
When I mention Naples usually my friends don' t know that this is the right place where today's pizza was born. If you knew it, good for you. If you didn' t know before keep reading or just keep reading anyway :-)

Naples, the city where pizza was born

 First today' s pizza comes from Naples but of course that people knew something similar before- already in encient Egypt.
In 1830 in Naples was opened the first pizzeria in the world in Via Port Alba 18. This pizzeria still works. I have to go there one day.

The first pizza ever was Margherita
Do you know why actually this type of pizza is called Margerita? Once upon a time there was a queen and her name was Margherita. Margerita came to Naples with her husband king Umberto I. It was a big event so one guy- baker called Don Raphael Esposito made this pizza for them. She just loved it. That' s why he named the the most basic pizza Margerita.

I have to tell you that pizza in Naples is totally different than normal pizza you usually eat. Once you try you will never want to eat your "normal pizza" any more.

from Naples- You have many choices

In Barcelona there is a Naples pizzeria called N.A.P. I go there usually once per week or once per two weeks. People who work in this pizzeria are from Naples. The pizza there is quite good.

 In Portugal we were going to place called Mr. Pizza. Pizza was very good if you consider the fact that pizza was made by Portugese :-) (and if my italian friends say that it is good pizza then yes, the pizza is really good)

This summer-july in Verona (north of Italy) with my Italian-Croatian friend Tamara.

Pizza from Palermo

And finally you can see pizza from my hometown Liberec. It is not that bad, ok?

 I can' t imagine my life without pizza. For me the best pizza is Margherita. So, next time you go on holiday to south of Italy, make a stop in Naples and try the real pizza.

Adios chicos
Hasta la proxima.
