The pizza by Pascale CICCI

I hope that pizza, especially the Napoletana, will continue to survive the test of time, unchanged in its traditional, original form, because it’s just perfect the way it is!

I eat pizza whenever I can, it’s my favourite meal, I easily have it 4 times a week!
I’m happy to eat pizza at home, take it away, or have one out, with friends, or at a restaurant.

I make my own pizza at home, but I must admit that when I want a really good quality pizza, I go to a good pizzeria.
I’m lucky enough to live in Naples, so I can easily find excellent shops selling top- quality tasting products.

Eating pizza for me is all about enjoying good company!

It’s a great opportunity to get together with the family and friends and create an event around this traditional Italian dish.
What constitutes a good pizza for me is a nice golden crust, not too pale, not too dark, quite well risen with a puffy rim.

My all-time favourite is the traditional pizza Napoletana, with a thin crust to get that fine crispy texture, but it must be well risen at the sides!

As for the topping, I have a real weakness for provola/pepper, really hot, it’s delicious. Also, I think it’s an absolute crime when a pizza is served cold or lukewarm ...
a good pizza should always be eaten really hot, otherwise you don’t get to enjoy the true taste of the dough, or the special texture.
