Pizzeria Da Michele is one of the most famous pizzerias in Naples. It opened in 1870 and is known for its traditional Neapolitan pizza. The menu is very simple – usually just Margherita and Marinara – but the taste is amazing! Many people say it’s the best pizza in the world. It even appeared in the movie Eat Pray Love.
