Pacci's Neapolitan Pizzeria

I've had the privilege of visiting the birthplace of pizza, Naples, Italy, and eating at a few of the places claiming to be the first pizzeria.  After tasting the original, I now hold all other pizza to a high standard.  In the DC area, Pacci's Neapolitan Pizzeria in Silver Spring, MD is the real deal.  Neapolitan style pizza has a very thin crust that you have to eat with a fork and knife.  Pacci's uses ingredients imported from Italy (can't get more authentic than that!) and bakes their pizza in a wood-fired oven that you can see from the bar area.  Be sure to "like" them on Facebook to get notifications of special deals.
