"At Trianon, one of the oldest and best pizzerias in Naples, my wife had looked up in dismay from her tasty if fatally gooey pizza margherita con bufala (buffalo mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil, Parmigiano-Reggiano) and said, “It’s soup.“ Trianon, which had the most flavorful pizzas in Naples, also had the wettest."
"I went to Naples and had a Margherita at Trianon da Ciro (since 1923). It was so simple, yet so complex. I looked at it and had an epiphany."
"The result is beautiful puffy-crusted Neapolitan pizza with a generous splash of cheese and basil: the pizza di bufala, with slivers of cherry tomato, is a particular highlight."
"The crust is crisp but the middle has a nice soft, tender center of juices from the piping hot cheese. The pizza has to be cooked in a wood-burning brick oven to give it a nice smoky char on the soft dough, giving Neapolitan pizza this crisp and substantial texture. We got the Maria Sofia Margherita. Like I always say, “keep it simple and you won’t get pimples.”"
"This pizza was the best thing we ate in Italy, and is a top contender for the best thing I have ever ate. If you are ever in Naples be sure to try the original Margherita pizza from Pizzeria Trianon."
"It was loaded with milky mozzarella and sweet tomato flavors, with an occasional burst of basil here and there. Simplicity, intensity, perfection in each bite."
"My pizza was simple: the fresh buffalo mozzarella was perfectly molten; the cherry tomatoes, while roasted in the hot oven, still had the taste of fresh tomatoes; the basil was whole leafed. I ate the whole thing, and enjoyed every bite. We had pizza another time or two on our trip, but none compared to the Neapolitan one from Trianon."
