Pizza in the Neapolitan Pan

PIZZA IN THE NEAPOLITAN PAN, ancient traditional recipe from grandma, very soft, baked in the pan, perfect for dinner and also great as an appetizer.

The delicious pizza in the pan is nothing more than a pizza baked in the pan as my grandma used to do, spreading the leftovers in the pan and baking it.

A simple seasoning of tomato sauce, oil, and oregano, marinara style, and the pizza in the pan became a delicious dish that was priceless.

Reviving the tradition of pan-baked pizza was Pasqualino Rossi from Elite Pizzeria in Alvignano, province of Caserta, a great idea because the pizza is truly excellent.

You can now find it all over Naples, and I recommend you try it; in my opinion, the simpler the seasoning, the better it tastes.

Follow me in the kitchen, today there’s pizza in the pan!
