8. Pizzaria Brandi

Pizzaria Brandi was first opened in 1780 under the ownership of Pietro Coliccio, who earned the nickname Pietro il pizzaiuolo (Peter the Pizza maker). Eventually, this little shop fell into the hands of Raffaele Esposito, husband to Maria Brandi. Esposito was asked to cater a banquet for the queen, Margherita di Savoia, for which he made three kinds of pizza for her to taste. Her favorite was the one made with tomato, basil, olive oil, and mozzarella – the colors of the newly united Italian Flag. The pizza was then named after her, and thus the Pizza Margherita was born. Today you can still have wonderful pizzas here, starting around 7000L.   (© 10Best)

I was raised in the NYC area. That almost made me a pizza expert! But the worlds best definitive pizza is found here. I retired from the merchant marines, dined in more then 70 countries. Whenever we docked in Napoli this was a MUST DO. It is truly unbelievable pizza. Sorry NY. The amazing thing is it is accomplished with minimal sauce and cheese.
