Cairo's Best 8 Restaurants for Neapolitan Pizza

We’re not sure if you know this but, like, Italians take their pizza very seriously, but nowhere in Italy (and the entire world) takes it more seriously than the city of Naples. Why is that? There’s an organisation there called the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana that makes sure that Neapolitan pizza remains free of false bravado. VPN also happens to certify pizzerias worldwide that adhere to their standards. We’re not here, however, to talk about the history of VPN, we’re here to talk about the best spots around the capital, certified and otherwise, that serve Neapolitan pizza. 


What the Crust // Maadi

We just want to start with this spot because What the Crust, believe it or not, is certified by VPN themselves. Yup, this Maadi restaurant is the only restaurant in Africa that serves approved Neapolitan pizza.
