When and where can I get free pizzas from Pizzeria Oliva?

Pizzeria Oliva, run by Carla and Salvatore, is a landmark in the Sanità district and is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a gesture of gratitude to its neighbors. For the occasion, special attention will be given to the fried pizza "Donna Sophia ," a tribute to Sophia Loren , who starred in one of the famous episodes of Vittorio De Sica's film "L'Oro di Napoli" (1954). This iconic film, inspired by the stories of Giuseppe Marotta , celebrates Neapolitan popular culture and local culinary traditions.

What will we eat during the 10th anniversary of Pizzeria Oliva?

During the event, it won't be just Carla and Salvatore working: their sons, Ciro and Armando , will also be involved in making pizzas, carrying on the family tradition. Pizzeria Oliva, located in the alleys where the famous Totò was born , has always been much more than a business: it's a symbol of belonging to the neighborhood and a gathering place for the community.

The celebration also includes a collaboration with the “Isabella d'Este” institute , in a joint effort to strengthen the bond between the pizzeria and the neighborhood, involving local institutions and promoting community spirit.
