The history of fried pizza

Associated with the expression "A ogge a otto", fried pizza is born as a food for the poor of ancient Naples, which can not afford the "high-quality" pizza, baked in the oven, folded on the fried version, much cheaper.

The tasty dish was sold in the "Neapolitan bass" from the wives of the pizza makers who, to contribute to the domestic economy, fry the dough prepared by their husbands and served them to the neighbors of the neighborhood who could not immediately pay.

On time, the pizzaiola used to put the name of the customer on a small notebook eight days to collect the money and settle the bill. Filled or empty that pizza was unique, defined as a true work of art of taste.

Today this type of pizzeria no longer exists, but the fried pizza of the past can still be eaten in some pizzerias in Naples, especially in those just listed.
