Fried Stuffed Pizza (Pizza Fritta)

This Neapolitan street food staple was born out of necessity in post-war Naples when bread ovens were scarce. The dough is folded over a rich, creamy filling and fried until it puffs into a crisp, golden shell. It is a substantial, savoury snack that perfectly captures the rustic spirit of Campania, offering a molten centre of ham and melted cheese.
