eapolitan pizza (pizza Napoletana). Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are made with local
ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south
of Mount Vesuvius and Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, made with the milk from water
buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazioin a semi-wild state (this
mozzarella is protected by its own European law). The genuine Neapolitan pizza dough
consists of Italian flour, natural Neapolitan yeast or brewer's yeast, salt and water.The
dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer. After the rising process, the
dough must be formed by hand without the help of a rolling pin or other mechanical device,
and may be no more than 3 mm (1/8 in) thick.Pizza is cooked in a oven.When cooked, it
should be crispy, tender and fragrant. Neapolitan pizza has gained the status of
"guaranteed traditional specialty" in Italy. This admits only three official variants: Pizza
marinara, which is made with tomato, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil (although
most Neapolitan pizzerias also add basil to the marinara), Pizza Margherita, made with
tomato,mozzarella, basil and extra virgin olive oil, and Pizza Margherita DOC made
with tomato, buffalo mozzarella from Campania in fillets, basil and extra virgin olive oil.
