Pizza fritta is a deep-fried pocket of risen dough stuffed with ricotta, cicoli (pressed pork scratchings), provola and black pepper, fried in hot lard or oil until blistered and golden, served folded in paper.
Pizza fritta became the street food of post-war Naples when wood-fired ovens were scarce and lard was cheap; vendors fried pizzas on portable stoves in the Quartieri Spagnoli and the Sanita. Sofia Loren famously sold pizza fritta in the 1954 film L'Oro di Napoli, shot on location in the city. The pavement-fried format survives today in counters such as Pizzeria di Matteo and Sorbillo Lievito Madre, often eaten standing up in folded paper.
