Pizza Napoli

Famed the world over as the birthplace of pizza, the city of Naples is a colourful, edgy city that revolves around food. Thom and James Elliot are adopted sons of Naples, with a little black book of chefs, suppliers, restaurateurs, and people who have become close friends and colleagues over the past decade of Pizza Pilgrims restaurants. In 2023 they built the world’s smallest mobile pizzeria—a Vespa with a pizza oven on the back—much to the Neapolitans’ delight and bemusement. Over the past two years they have travelled around the city with photographer Dave Brown, capturing the very best that Naples has to offer. With unprecedented access to previously undocumented places in Naples, and to the stories of its remarkable people, Pizza Napoli is more than just a cookbook—it lifts the lid on a city that is rising up to claim its rightful place as one of the true gastronomic centers of the world.
