"Here you can find the best fried pizzas in Naples: they are light, fragrant and have a harmonious taste."
"Naples' remarkably light pizza fritta – deep-fried pizza dough stuffed with pork ciccioli (dried lard cubes), salami, ham, smoked provola cheese, ricotta and tomato – is best savoured at this legendary joint. Most regulars order it senza ricotta (without ricotta) and wash it down with sweet marsala wine."
"Everyone recommends this beautiful place guided by Enzo Piccirillo and immediately points out: only fried pizza and only at lunchtime (except on Saturdays). Hurray to someone who can make this special type of pizza as light as possible. Hurray."
