About Naple's Street Food
Campania
Naples is renowned for its vibrant street food scene, offering a variety of quick bites that reflect the city’s rich culinary heritage. One of the most iconic street foods is pizza a portafoglio, a smaller, folded version of the traditional pizza, perfect for eating on the go. It’s commonly enjoyed hot at pizzerias around the city. Another must-try is pizza fritta, a deep-fried pizza stuffed with ricotta, pork cracklings, and provola cheese, a dish born out of necessity in post-war Naples when wood-fired ovens were scarce. For seafood lovers, cuoppo napoletano offers a paper cone filled with fried seafood and vegetables, often found at bustling markets and street vendors. Frittatina di pasta is another local favourite—deep-fried pasta balls filled with minced pork, béchamel sauce, and peas, commonly served fresh from friggitorie, or fry shops. Cuzzetiello, a traditional sandwich made from hollowed-out bread filled with rich ragù sauce, offers a taste of authentic Neapolitan comfort food. Finally, for those with a sweet tooth, sfogliatella, a pastry with layers of dough filled with sweet ricotta and semolina, is a beloved treat found in pastry shops across the city. To experience the full breadth of Naples’ street food culture, consider visiting local markets like La Pignasecca, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the city. Exploring these street foods offers a delicious glimpse into Naples’ culinary traditions and provides an authentic way to experience the city’s vibrant culture.
