Bella Napoli 150 W49th

Good crust, nice burn, fresh basil.



"This pizza is dedicated to Queen Margherita. She was interested in the popular dish that her French chefs could not
prepare so the famous "pizzaiolo" Raffaele Esposito was invited to court and suggested three pizzas, this one
reflecting the colours of the Italian Sabauda flag, the Marinara and a white cheese pizza. Garlic, considered
improper for the delicate palate of the Queen was avoided. So on the 11th June 1889 Pizza became
a dish fit for Royalty."
