Street in Naples
Via dei Tribunali runs parallel to Spaccanapoli one block north and is where Neapolitans eat pizza. L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, Sorbillo, and Di Matteo are all on or just off this street, serving full pizzas for five euros or less. Free to walk, and the cheap pizza alone justifies a visit to Naples. Budget travelers eat here twice a day and still spend less than a single restaurant meal in Rome. The original margherita pizza was invented in this neighborhood.
