Napoli on the Road

Delicious recipes for modern seasonally inspired, Neapolitan-style pizza from 'The World's Best Pizza Maker'. BREAKING NEWS. ‘Forget Naples. The world’s best pizza is made in Chiswick. ’ - The Times. ‘Worlds’ best pizza chef is based in London, according to the “Michelin Guide for Italian Food”’ - Daily Mail. Michele Pascarella, the founder of London’s 'Napoli on the Road', was named the best pizza chef on the planet at the Ferrarella World 50 Top Pizza Europa Awards 2023. Michele is a ‘pioneer of contemporary pizza making’ and his win is a testament to how he pushes the boundaries of flavour and innovation within the art of pizza making: ‘It’s not just about crafting the perfect dough or finding the finest ingredients; it’s about the artistry and passion that goes into every slice…’ so says the pizza visionary. Originally from Naples, Michele started his business driving around in a three-wheel Ape Piaggio truck complete with a wood-fired oven, making pizzas at markets across London. Now, 8 years later, at his two hugely popular restaurants Michele changes his menu almost entirely every three months, to make use of seasonal ingredients, respect the course of nature and work with local suppliers. This, Michele’s first book, offers 65 delicious recipes for pizza as well as Neapolitan-style street food and he shares stories of his early life growing up in Southern Italy - the people, landscapes and experiences that shaped his creative genius and made him into the stand-out pizzaiola he is today.
