After years of Naples-inspired pizzas spreading across New York, an actual Naples-based pizza master has taken on New York City. Gino Sorbillo recently opened Gino Sorbillo Pizzeria on the Bowery in Noho with much fanfare. His pizzeria on the Via Dei Tribunali in Naples was founded by his grandparents in 1935, and is one of the most celebrated in Italy.
While many Neapolitan pizzerias offer only a handful of predictable pies (Naples pizzeria Da Michele, founded in 1870, makes only two), Pizzeria Sorbillo offers around 20, some with innovative ingredients.
