Neapolitan Tradition
That classical beats the hamburger
of the Editing ALENAPOLI TOUR

For the expert I bring him nutritional it's better than that the "meatball" made in USA.

"The Neapolitan pizza is the interpretation shutters litteram and in Mediterranean key of the fast food. E' an articulated prototype better, on the plain nutrizionale, of the cheeseburgers with french fries or of the toasts and sandwiches watered to base of Coke it Strains. The dieticians would not have anything to repeat if the relationships between the nourishing ones and the quantity of the ingredients it was always that of the classical pizza Margherita with tomato and mozzarella", professor Eugene Di the Toma sustains, dietician. "The success of the pizza is manifold rights: it is savory, easy to prepare and it is lent to satisfy the needs of fast meals in the modern world. On the dietary plan and nutrizionale, instead, everything depends on the imagination of the cooks that they don't limit to the traditional recipe of the Neapolitan kitchen anymore where water, flour, yeast, tomato, garlic and oil, without not even the mozzarella, they represented the ingredients of base. Today, to the pizza mushrooms are added, anchovies, ham, salami, mussels, onions, pickled, olives, ricotta, rucola, corn, in a variety of combinations all valid gastronomicamentes, but of which any dietician can foretell the digestibility or to count the energetic value, to vary of the ingredients and of the used quantities."

"More than every other dish, the pizza is considered the leader of the Italian cuisine. Such an ancient dish perfectly corresponds to the most modern dietary orientations in theme of carbohydrates and saving of saturated fats and animal proteins, without speaking of the vitaminic worths of the tomato; they will be however the dimensions in which it will be served to the customers to do indeed a choice of it ipocalorica, in comparison to a toast of cheese and ham or to a hamburger with french fries."
