Where do celebrities eat pizza in Naples?
L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, Sorbillo, Trattoria da Nennella — 3 rooms in Naples where the regulars are famous and the pasta earns it.
Naples is a pizza pilgrimage, and the celebrity angle is almost accidental: Julia Roberts filmed at one of these counters, football legends grew up in another, and the third is pure theatre with lunch. No reservations, no fuss, one of the great cheap meals on earth.
