But the desire for pizza is irresistible and, during a trip to the beautiful Sicily, it can happen that you want to stop in a pizzeria and enjoy a really good one!

If you are staying in Taormina , one of the pearls of the island, or if you are just passing through, here are the best pizzerias in the city !

1 – La Napoletana
Located in the historic center of the city, this pizzeria owes its name to the typical Neapolitan dough that characterizes the pizzas on the restaurant’s menu: soft, with the raised edge called “cornice” and with a decisive cooking.
Many of the ingredients also come from the Campania region such as, for example, the famous buffalo mozzarella or broccoli. The flavors of Naples are also found in desserts, thanks to the presence of the pastiera or the baba.
