The Gold of Naples
La Pizza Fritta
It's a tradition that dates back to the 16th century, when the wives of Neapolitan piemen would fry the leftover scraps of dough and sell them on the street. It was then made popular around the 1950's when Sophia Loren starred in Vittorio De Sica's film 'L' Oro di Napoli', where she ate her Pizza Fritta wrapped in paper on a street in Naples.
