About Neapolitan pizza

Originating from Naples, Italy, Neapolitan pizza is a classic dish celebrated for its simple yet flavorful ingredients. At its core, this pizza features a thin, soft crust made from finely milled Italian wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast. Traditionally, it's topped with fresh tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella (often buffalo mozzarella), fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil, adhering to the principles of freshness and balance. Its authentic preparation involves high-heat baking in a wood-fired oven, giving the crust its signature light char and airy texture. From a nutritional perspective, Neapolitan pizza provides carbohydrates from the crust and protein from the cheese, while the tomatoes and basil offer vitamins and antioxidants. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the cheese and oil, and its refined flour may lack fiber. Moderation is key to enjoying this iconic Italian staple while maintaining a balanced diet.
