We’re not sure if you know this but, like, Italians take their pizza very seriously, but nowhere in Italy (and the entire world) takes it more seriously than the city of Naples. Why is that? There’s an organisation there called the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana that makes sure that Neapolitan pizza remains free of false bravado. VPN also happens to certify pizzerias worldwide that adhere to their standards. We’re not here, however, to talk about the history of VPN, we’re here to talk about the best spots around the capital, certified and otherwise, that serve Neapolitan pizza.

Sapori Di Carlo // Zamalek

Four years ago, chef Carlos Adib started his own pizzeria back in Paris called L'Atelier 197. It never crossed his mind that Michelin would ever contact him to award him with a star. Adib then took his pizza expertise and decided to come to Cairo to gift all of us the perfect pizza.
