Naples
This takeaway hotspot serves up huge, superlative pizza fritta, deep-fried pizza dough traditionally filled with pork cicoli (dried lard cubes), provola, ricotta and tomato. A handful of variations are available, all made fresh to order using organic flour and high-quality ingredients. And while it is filling, it's also surprisingly light: the key to a perfect rendition of this Neapolitan classic.
Queues are common, though they usually move quickly.
