Scaturchio
It's true, it looks like "easy to win” calling Scaturchio into the field, given that the name Scaturchio has always been synonymous with good pastry.

Neapolitan pastiera
The name of this pastry shop, dedicated specifically to this dessert , is a guarantee, a real guarantee contract: if it's not good, they've definitely got the name wrong.
And luckily the contract was kept, the pastiera from “La Pastiera Napoletana” is absolutely a delight.
Its aluminum containers are historic, even if a little expensive.
- PRO: average prices but without sacrificing quality
- AGAINST: small shop, a bit obsolete in presentation

Poppella
Similar to what was said for Scaturchio, Poppella is an authority on Neapolitan pastry making but you won't find it in this ranking because it's called Poppella, it's there because their pastiera is, objectively, really good.
In recent years it has come into vogue for the creation and conception of Fiocchi di Neve , a simple but innovative dessert that has already entered the Neapolitan tradition, but the preparation of more traditional desserts such as pastiera is not left to chance.
- PRO: products of excellence from every point of view
- AGAINST: lots and lots of lines to do and long waits

Isn't that enough for you? In 2022 they won the Arcimboldo d'oro prize for pastry and they are positioned at 4th place for the best sfogliatella in Italy.
- PRO: very high quality pastiera
- AGAINST: Salerno is a bit difficult to reach if you are not from the area, but luckily they are close to the station
