Fried pizza in Naples
An alternative to the oven: discover fried pizza and the fillings offered on menus.
What to look for
Frying creates a different texture and experience. Before ordering, check whether the restaurant offers stuffed fried pizza, montanara or another preparation: sizes, portions and ingredients can differ widely.
Choosing your pizzeria
Start with your preferred area and check the current menu. Each pizzaiolo may interpret these labels differently: ask which dough, size and toppings are available on the day of your visit.
Are fried pizza and montanara the same thing?
They are not synonyms: fried pizza may be closed around a filling, while montanara is generally topped on the surface. Ask the restaurant how it serves its version.

Match your taste to your itinerary
A quick snack and a sit-down dinner call for different choices. Consider where you want to go, the time you have and the current menu. A pizza style is a starting point; restaurant-specific information helps you make the actual choice. Begin with the neighbourhoods or compare the guide’s listings.
