The story

Under the Port'Alba arch, on a lane lined with bookshops, this pizzeria traces its story to 1738, when it began as a stand supplying the street sellers. It became a proper pizzeria in 1830, and the city has honoured it with a plaque as the oldest pizzeria still operating in Naples. From the counter you can grab a pizza a portafoglio (Margherita or Marinara), pizza fritta, little fried montanarine and classic fritti.
