Our Fried Pizza

Neapolitan fried pizza is one of Naples’ most iconic street-food specialities: golden and fragrant on the outside, with a soft, flavourful filling. If you’re looking for fried pizza in Milan, at ’A Tarantella you’ll find it made the traditional way.

Neapolitan tradition, just like it used to be

Fried pizza was born as a popular alternative to oven-baked pizza. In tougher times—especially in the post-war period—it became the “people’s food”: practical, affordable, and incredibly tasty. Today it’s a true classic of the Neapolitan fry shop, loved for its simplicity and bold character.

How we make it

We use pizza dough, seal it by hand, and fry it in hot oil until the crust turns crisp and light. The result is an irresistible contrast: a golden exterior and a creamy filling, with flavours that come together in every bite.

Fillings and variations

On our menu you’ll find both the great classics and richer options, such as:

buffalo ricotta, pork cracklings and black pepper
provola cheese and traditional Neapolitan ingredients
seasonal combinations, when available

What makes authentic Neapolitan fried pizza so good?

To recognise true Neapolitan fried pizza (and enjoy it at its best), a few key elements matter: dough, frying, filling, and respect for tradition. At ’A Tarantella, these principles guide every step—so you can enjoy authentic fried pizza in Milan, true to the Neapolitan style.

1) Dough: light, soft, easy to digest

The dough is everything: it must hold up during frying while staying light. We use simple, quality ingredients—flour, water, yeast and salt—and rely on a slow fermentation to achieve a soft texture and better digestibility, with the right structure.

2) Frying: golden, crispy, not greasy

A well-made fried pizza should never feel heavy. The secret is precise frying: oil at the right temperature and constant attention. The result is a crispy, golden exterior with a soft centre, without excess oil.

3) Filling: the perfect balance of flavour and creaminess

The filling is the soul of fried pizza. The classic remains a must: ricotta, pork cracklings and black pepper—creamy, savoury, with just the right hint of spice. Alongside the classics, we also offer variations with traditional ingredients (and lighter options), always aiming for balance.

4) Tradition: Neapolitan technique, authentic taste

Fried pizza is part of Naples’ culture: born as popular food and now one of the most loved symbols of Neapolitan street food. That’s why we follow traditional methods at every stage—from dough to filling to frying.

5) Sharing: made to be enjoyed together

Traditionally, fried pizza is simple and accessible: easy to eat, perfect for an informal evening, and ideal for sharing.

These specialities were born on the streets of Naples and, thanks to their versatility, Neapolitan fried foods are perfect both as a main dish and as a sharing appetiser.

At ’A Tarantella, a Neapolitan fry shop in Milan (Lambrate area), you’ll find fried favourites that are crispy and light, with the authentic flavour of Neapolitan tradition.

Fresh, carefully selected ingredients

Great fried food starts with quality: mozzarella, fior di latte, ricotta, fish and vegetables are chosen with care and prepared to preserve flavour and freshness. Even the oil matters: it must be kept clean and changed regularly for a lighter fry and no aftertaste.

Frying technique: crispness and lightness

Well-made frying is golden and crispy outside, soft inside, and never greasy. The difference comes down to precise control of oil temperature and cooking times, essential for the classics.
