Cities Where Street Food is Better Than Any Michelin Restaurant

32. Naples, Italy: Pizza on the Go, The Original Way

While Rome has its charm, Naples is the fiery heart of Italian street food and the undisputed birthplace of pizza. Here, pizza a portafoglio (wallet pizza) reigns supreme – a classic Margherita or Marinara folded twice like a wallet, perfect for eating on the move. Beyond pizza, seek out cuoppo di mare, a paper cone brimming with freshly fried calamari, shrimp, and small fish, or frittatina di pasta, a deep-fried disc of leftover pasta and béchamel. Naples offers a raw, energetic, and deeply satisfying street food experience rooted in simple ingredients and generations of culinary passion.
