Napoletana pizza recipe with Chef Gino D’Acampo

I admit it, I have a small crush on Gino D’Acampo! He’s talented, authentic, and his recipes are tasty!

You can read a chef bio about Gino here.

Napoletana Pizza, from Naples, Italy, is traditionally cooked in a wood fired oven with a well cured oak. And the Italians take their pizza seriously! There is actually an Italian association of strict requirements found here, that pizza makers must comply with to label their pizza as “Napoletana”.

Although there is no doubt that the association would disapprove, Italian Chef Gino D’Acampo prepares a simpler oven cooked version of Napoletana pizza in this video. It’s worth watching just to see his hand gestures!
