More History through Pizza

Thursday we jumped an early train back into Naples (early for us, anyway).  It's about an hour train ride into the city, so we arrived just in time for lunch.

Our mission?  MORE PIZZA!

Having already tried and loved the oldest pizzeria in the world, our next stop was to try the most popular.



L'antica Pizzeria da Michele is in the heart of the old town of Naples.  This area is where, in the late 1800's, King Umberto and Queen Margherita visited when they were working to unite Italy, and from that visit the Margherita Pizza was born.

This pizzeria, along with many others in Naples, only serves two pies: Marinara or Margherita.  The Marinara is just crust, San Marzano tomato sauce, garlic and oregano.  The Margherita is crust, San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and basil.
