Greca Tip: The old Port'Alba pizzeria ('white door'), in the city of Naples, is considered the first pizzeria in the world. In 1738 they began to produce pizzas for passers-by and in 1830 they expanded into a kind of pizzeria-restaurant with tables and waiters. Today, they serve pizza under the same premise.
