Napoli Pizza Village

Have you ever walked along Lungomare Caracciolo? Or did you try Neapolitan pizza? Now imagine that it’s possible to combine these two activities! Thanks to Pizzamaker’s Organization, every year, usually at the beginning of the summer more than 50 Neapolitan historical pizzerias get together near the coast and prepare thousands of pizzas for visitors!

This event is accompanied by grandiose show and live music made by famous Italian artists and singers so there won’t be time to feel yourself bored! During my Erasmus we were lucky there all the period: meteorologists promised the weather without any rain for all 10 days; maybe only pizzamakers didn’t shar our happiness, because it seems quite difficult to stay near the stove when it’s so hot.

 Major culinary schools of pizza art take part in this event, providing different seminars and master-classes of pizza preparation. Who thinks, that this is trifling process is profoundly in error! Correct pizza “massage” is the main superiority of Italian pizza in comparison with other countries. Oh yes, accurate proportions of ingredients are important as well, but this usually remains a secret of every pizzeria. I know only that pizzamakers come to their working place around 5 am to beat dough which is going to be used in cooking process already for the lunch! So, pizza labor is quite complicated!

Napoli Pizza Village likes to organize the competition between pizzamakers all other the world! There were more than 600 of them in 2018, all participated in 9 contests with interesting prizes and awards for winners!
