Off hand, I do not remember the name of the place, but it is one of two very well known places in Naples. Someone else with a guide at hand could probably chime in. If in Rome though, my favorite is Dar Poeta in the Trastevere.

Michelle,
As the previous post mentioned, I also believe this was in Naples but I can't recall the name of the Pizzeria (possibly Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba). As you probably saw on the show, the original Pizza only had a few toppings and had little resemblance to the types that we're used to here. As I recall, the Margherita (named for a Queen) only had tomato sauce, mozzarela and basil (the combination formed the same colours as the Italian flag).
Happy travels!

Google returned this. As mentioned in the earlier posts, "Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba" in Naples does seem like the world's first true pizzeria.

I think it is Da Michele. We ate there once. The have only two types of pizza: marinara and margherita. they were both delicious.
