The Pizza in Naples was ...different. It was usually square. It had a "Dollop" of plain tomato sauce in the middle.... maybe a large tablespoon...on top of a LOT of OIL. There may have been some cheese. There was NO option for addons like peperonni, etc. Don't ask..it would be an insult..
The procedure for eating was to cut a large "X" in the middle of the crust..then lift the crust to drain the oil....then slice and eat...........with a knife and fork. ONLY Americans eat pizza with their fingers.
Just remembering the old days........  NB |
I think I ate at the same restaurant...though it was in 1966 and 1967
