Vico Equense
Run by the five sons of pizza king Gigino Dell’Amura, who introduced pizza by the metre to the world, this giant cafeteria-like pizzeria – the self-proclaimed 'university of pizza' – produces kilometres of top-notch pizza each day in four huge ovens. A metre of pizza is enough to feed five hungry diners, with a large selection of toppings, both traditional and more creative.
Although the place seats around 400 people, you may still have to wait for a table. No reservations are taken.
