The Neapolitan way
A soft, thin centre, a puffy blistered rim and a very hot oven for about a minute.
Few toppings
Tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil — the ingredients are meant to be tasted individually.
Travelling styles
As pizza spread, crusts got thicker, crispier or folded, each city making it its own.
