Neapolitan pizza is a legendary dish of Italian cuisine that originated in sunny Naples. Its history dates back to the 18th century when local bakers began baking flatbreads with tomatoes and cheese that won the hearts of millions. True Neapolitan pizza is characterized by airy dough, a crispy crust, and a rich flavor of tomatoes, oregano, and tender mozzarella cheese. This recipe combines the spicy notes of salami and mushrooms, giving the dish a special charm.

It should be served immediately after baking when the cheese is melted and the aromas of fresh ingredients fill the home with an unmistakable Italian spirit.
