Italian pizzas: authentic flavors from Naples
Italian pizza is one of the greatest symbols of Italian gastronomy—universally loved for its simplicity and refinement. Its story begins in the lively streets of Naples, where it was first enjoyed as a humble street food before becoming a staple on tables around the world. Today, pizza is far more than a meal: it is a culinary art and a tradition passed down from generation to generation. At PACINI, we are committed to offering authentic Italian pizzas, prepared in accordance with tradition, using quality ingredients and carefully crafted dough.
A rich and fascinating history
Pizza as we know it today originated in Naples in the 18th century. At the time, Neapolitan bakers prepared leavened dough topped with oil, garlic, and herbs, sold on the streets to workers. With the arrival of tomatoes in Europe, true Neapolitan pizza was born—most notably the famous Margherita pizza, created in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy. Its trio of ingredients—tomato, mozzarella, and basil—reflects the colors of the Italian flag. Since then, Neapolitan pizza has become a global reference and was even recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017.
The authenticity of Neapolitan pizza
True Italian pizza is defined by its thin, soft dough, hand-shaped and baked at high temperature to achieve a texture that is both crisp and airy. Ingredient quality is essential: San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella fior di latte, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, and carefully prepared dough ensure the perfect balance between lightness and intense flavor. Every bite should deliver a burst of taste that reflects authentic Italian craftsmanship.
