One thing you have no problem finding in bella Napoli is ¨vera pizza napolitana¨, ¨true Neapolitan pizza¨, authentic, woodfired individual pizzas with toppings you will find almost nowhere else. No, I am not talking about pineapple which is a sacrilege in Naples.
My favorite Neapolitan pizza is Salsiccia e Friarielli (€12), chunks of sausage, sauteed broccoli rabe (a local favorite known as ¨friarielli¨ that you will find in very few places outside of Naples), mozzarella (fior di latte or provola can also be used), and EVO (ask for the olio piccante - EVO soaked in chili peppers).
My pizza was delicious with loads of fior di latte, friarielli, and sausage with almost too much cheese because I could barely finish half of my pizza. The pizza was perfectly cooked, thin but sturdy enough on the bottom to pick up a piece without the toppings falling onto the plate with a thick, flakey crust with just the right amount of char from the 600-degree Celsius wood oven.
My wife's Ham, Mushroom, and Cheese ¨Chef Special¨(€9.50) was also loaded with toppings and baked to perfection, enough said.
I am surprised to say that after all the years I have lived in and visited Napoli, my Sicilian spouse ordered something for me I had never heard of or seen before. Silly me!
My Montanarina (€4) arrived, a big fluffy ball of pizza dough with a big dollop of marinara in the middle with a chunk of mozzarella on top, then baked in the wood oven and topped with a huge, fresh basil leaf on top ... HOOAH!
The place is not very big, but is tastefully decorated with rock, brick, and wood. However, there is a large tent out front with loads of tables and a couple of propane heaters, having made it a tad too warm for us.
The first waiter who sat us and took our drink order was quite aloof, so I was pleased when a much friendlier server took over for the rest of our meal. The first server is responsible for the 2 Bomb deduction and €6.50 for a 40 cl beer can account for the other, hence ...
