🍕 November 17th: A Slice of History for Pizza Lovers 🍕

If you’re a pizza lover (and who isn’t? 😉), November 17th is a date to mark on your calendar. It’s the day the world’s very first pizzeria opened its doors back in 1830. That’s right! This milestone moment happened in 🇮🇹 Naples, Italy, with the opening of the legendary Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba.

🏢 Where It All Began

Before Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba officially opened, pizza was sold by street vendors in Naples and was often seen as a simple snack for the working class. These street stalls were popular, but the birth of a proper pizzeria was a game changer. Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba gave people a place to sit, relax, and enjoy freshly baked pizzas straight from a traditional wood-fired oven – a tradition we proudly continue today with our own All Dough Pizza Van 🍔🚒.

🗝 Why is November 17th So Important?

The opening of Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba laid the foundation for the pizza culture we know and love today. It transformed a simple street food into a culinary experience. It’s no exaggeration to say that this humble pizzeria in Naples sparked a global phenomenon 🌍, leading to the countless varieties and styles of pizza enjoyed worldwide.

🌶️ A Legacy of Flavor and Tradition 🌲

What makes Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba’s story even more special is their use of wood-fired ovens 🔥 to achieve that perfect crispy-yet-chewy crust. It’s a tradition we carry on at All Dough Pizza Van 🍕, where our stunning red wood-fired oven not only looks amazing 💃 but also delivers that authentic, smoky flavor that pizza lovers crave 🧐.
