Giovanni had indicated on everyones map the best pizza place in Napoli, Gino Sorbillo’s. Gino’s grandfather invented the calzone. It would be a cold day in hell before I would leave Napoli without trying it. We went early (seven of us) and that was good because the place filled up fast. At three euro for a margherita and 6.50 for a loaded one, the unusually cheap pizza seemed incongruous with the expensive looking interior. After watching for a while, I realized that they made their money on sheer volume. This wasn’t merely a cheap pizza place, this was going to be really good cheap pizza.
The pizzas that came to the table were huge, ultra thin crust, incredibly delicious. They were far and away the best pizzas I have ever had. Amazing!!!! The calzone were fantastic too. I could not get enough and ate way more than was necessary. I could not help myself. It was hard to stop. Knowing I would not be able to come back before I left the city made me a little sad as I reluctantly walked out the door. Outside, there were 50 or 60 people clustered in the tiny cobble stoned street waiting to take my place.
That was some damn good pizza. I was so eager to go eat the pizza I completely forgot to bring a camera. Sorry.
