Is the pizza better in Rome or Naples?

I haven't had pizza in Naples, but in Rome I had the best pizza I've ever had in my life! In the Piazza Navona section of Rome, there's a pizzeria named Pizzeria Baffetto. I went in 2000 with my Dad. He always researches and scouts places we're going to visit, and puts together itineraries. I don't remember how he stumbled across this place, but it was so good! I went back in 2004 with my wife, and I made it a point to go there again. I kept thinking of how good it was, but thought to myself "there's no way it can be as good as I remember it being". But, it was even better than I remembered! We were there for 3 days and 2 nights and had dinner there both nights! If you're in Roma, treat yourself please! (I sound too excited? Go and you'll understand).

For pizza in Italy, I thought the place we ate at in Florence was fabulous!

Naples! It's the birthplace of pizza! Pizza is the only good thing to come out of that city!

See the link below for information about my favorite pizzeria in the city!

Try america?! Ew! American pizza is so disgusting once you've tried pizza from Naples! Naples has BY FAR the best pizza ever. I used to live there and hated it, except the pizza, that's what made it all worth while. If you are feeling adventurous try a pizza with french fries. So Good! I'm not kidding you this is an Italian favorite!

tough question, the two best pizzas of the world!!
in rome its very thin, and maybe i prefer it. but naples is where pizza was born, and its easier to find good pizzerias. plus, being more thick, i think its closer to american taste.

naples, but it is so much better in a place that is not touristic, go to a normal place, like any italian would.

Actually I've heard that pizza in Italy is a little overrated these days as the some of the best have come over to America. You've got all different styles over here too.

Naples at Di Matteo, as we wrote in our travelogue:

"Our plan for today was to make our way over to via Toledo north to the old city and have pizza at Di Matteo on via Tribunali 94d. After that we would take the metro and bus to Vomero.

We worked our way down the hillside to Riviera di Chiaia which runs along the north side of Villa Comunale park, and proceeded east past the many bars, pubs, cafes, and restaurants that are a favorite evening destination for the young. Along the way we encountered the glamorous Villa Pignatelli, a reminder of how the aristocratic families once lived. It is now home to the Principe Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes museum, housing many collections of XIX century furniture and porcelain.

Via Toledo (also known as via Roma) runs north from Piazza Trieste e Trento to Piazza Dante and is one of the best known and busiest streets in the city. The street was named after viceroy don Pedro di Toledo who came to Naples in 1532 to solve the town planning problems. This is a wonderful shopping street for traditional old shops to fashion boutiques and bakeries. Palazzos, theatre, churches, and most of the countries banks are all presented in a mixture of architectural styles.

At Piazza Dante we passed thru Port'Alba into Centro Storico and proceeded to via Tribunali to discover if the well known Di Matteo is as good as its reputation. We entered past the ground floor take out counter and pizza making area to the stairway to the upstairs dining rooms. The multi-level rooms were all filled and by time we reached the top floor we realized we did not have enough time to sit, wait and eat. We did the prudent and wise thing and proceeded back to the take out counter and for one euro each received generous-size, folded, cheese and tomato beauties.

This was without a doubt the best pizza ever! The dough, the cheese, the sauce, each and together a texture and flavor sensation. At any price, it would have been the best ever - but for one euro, it was totally incredible!"

Napoli - the best pizza there is at Da Michele (I know this because I've been taken there by locals and tried the pizza - and yes, I have been taken by locals in Rome to try their best pizza also). At Da Michelle you have to queue up and when you get in they only serve 2 types of pizza (Margherita and Marinara). You can get beer, water or coke with your meal. I highly recommend a visit! The address is:

Via Cesare Sersal, 1/3 (Angolo Via P Colleta), 801

check out the link below for some comparisons (this is where I found the address)
