10 Diego Vitagliano | Must-Try Pizzeria in Naples
For the second year in a row, 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria has been awarded by the prestigious “Top 50 Pizza 2022” one of the top pizzerias in all of Italy —and I’m not surprised. Nor do I believe it would be surprising to anyone familiar with the vibrant, ever-evolving pizza scene in Naples, where master pizza-maker Diego’s two pizzerias are located in the Bagnoli and Pozzuoli districts of the city. The pizza, and all the delicious else one tastes in Neapolitan Pizzerias, is that good in his establishments.
There are many popular pizzerias in Naples, but in my opinion, not all serve up excellence across the board —from the pizzas, to the calzones, to the arancini, the crocche, pizzette fritte, montanare, etc. Here, at 10 Diego Vitagliano Pizzeria, though, the excellence of all can be anticipated and will most definitely include a sensory experience to recall; every delectable bite, texture, aroma, and taste. Pizza maker Diego is an innovator; driven and well skilled, and he approaches the ingredients with the upmost respect and appreciation. The pizzas he serves up are remarkably light and highly digestible, with the perfect crispiness. The menu, which is based on tradition, thrills with his clever touches and modern techniques, and use of local products —including organic grains of all sorts. And what’s more, he offers a gluten-free menu that’s served up from its own pizza station, which has received great praise and multiple prestigious awards on its own.
The pizzeria has stylish contemporary rooms decorated with neutral colors; high ceilings painted white with exposed black wooden beams, and walls covered in brick —a warm and inviting ambiance for the eating experience, which is complimented by the great service and attentive, friendly staff, and the well-chosen list of wines, sparkling wines, and beers.
