Day 26, Pizza Month 2011 - Pizzeria Brandi (Naples, Italy)



DAY 26: OCTOBER 26th, 2011

LOCATION: Pizzeria Brandi (Salita Sant'Anna di Palazzo, 2, Naples, Italy)

ORDER: 1/2 of an individual Margherita

GUEST: Robin Rothman





MISCELLANEOUS:
1. Robin and I made the most of this rainy day by visiting the ruins of Pompeii and a total of three pizzerias on Via Dei Tribunali (Port' Alba, Di Matteo, Sorbillo) and finally Pizzeria Brandi. Unfortunately, the rain wiped out our chances to see anything once we reached the top of Mount Vesuvius.
2. Pizzeria Brandi used to be called Pietro...e basta così, which means "Peter ...and That's Enough." While named this, Chef Raffaele Esposito created a pizza fit for a queen, Queen Margherite, to be exact. He made it the colors of the Italian flag - green (basil), white (mozzarella), and red (tomato) and named it the Margherita. She loved it in 1889 and I love it 2011.

ORDER: 1/2 of an individual Marinara pie, 1/4 of an individual Margherita

GUEST: Robin Rothman





MISCELLANEOUS:
1. Robin discovered a cat colony out on the pier and took many photos. I love how Mount Vesuvius looms in the distance over Naples.

2. Pizzeria da Michele is pronounced "Mick-A-la" and is the pizzeria featured in EAT, PRAY, LOVE with Julia Roberts. Also, they ONLY serve two pies - Margheria and Marinara.
