We can only be talking about Neapolitan pizza. Made from only basil, mozzarella, and tomato \u2013 simplicity is perfection here. With additional toppings off limits. Yet to taste? Expect more sauce than cheese and a wet texture that isn\u2019t for slicing. Naples\u2019 speciality is best eaten folded or with a knife and fork.
