Pizza Napoletana - Neapolitan Pizza with a Thick Crust

Pizza Napoletana is one of the most famous icons of Italian cuisine, originating from the city of Naples. This simple yet delicious pizza is based on San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and hand-stretched dough. The thick, airy crust is what makes it special, baking to a perfectly crisp texture in the hot oven. Traditionally, this pizza is prepared in a wood-fired oven, but it can also be made at home, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of Naples in your own kitchen.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 482°F (250°C), or use a pizza stone at 572°F (300°C) for best results.

    2

    Stretch the pizza dough by hand, leaving a thick crust and a thin center.

    3

    Puree the San Marzano tomatoes and mix with a pinch of sea salt. Avoid adding too many spices to let the natural flavor of the tomatoes shine.

    4

    Spread the tomato sauce onto the center of the pizza dough, leaving the edges free.

    5

    Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce.

    6

    Place the fresh basil leaves on top of the pizza, then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

    7

    Bake the pizza in the hot oven for 7-10 minutes, until the crust edges are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    8

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve fresh to fully appreciate all the flavors.
