Naples, order 60 thousand pizzas on the first day of home delivery


300 pizzerias have opened. The most requested pizzas were the simple ones: Margherita and Marinara

The Neapolitans could not wait to return to taste a steaming Margherita prepared by art by their pizza makers. So, on the first day that home delivery came back, they ordered well sixty thousand pizzas. Not in all of Campania (which has already had to give up the pastry patisserie at Easter), but only in the city of Naples. A reassuring signal, which confirms the desire for a gradual return to normal after the lockdown imposed by the coronavirus epidemic.

The semplicity

The most requested pizzas were those with the simplest ingredients: the Daisy and the Marinara. «People seem to want to savor simple things. Requests that do not go in this direction are rare ", explains Massimo Di Porzio, president of Fipe, the Italian Federation of Public Operators. "We calculate an average of 200 pizzas for each of the 300 pizzerias who have opened, for a total of 60 thousand pizzas. We are happy, it's a good start. We are trying to satisfy all requests, even single ones . The small pizzerias, the neighborhood ones, are also shared, and there are also those who order pizza at home many elderly people.

An explosion of pizza

"The numbers are encouraging and give a signal of hope, even if they don't solve the problem", commented Antonio Pace, president of the Verace Pizza Napoletana association. "We estimate it has opened only 30/40% of pizzerias. In fact, many failed to sanitize the premises in time, postponing the resumption of activities until tomorrow. However, those who did are working with numbers that I would call interesting. "

Prepare for the real reopening, but first …

Now the owners of the pizzerias are working to get ready for the moment when customers can return to pick up the pizzas directly. "We are ready to enforce distances, it would be a step forward," says Di Porzio. "The queues are for the supermarket," confirms Pace, "can also be done neatly to pick up a pizza. We ask the government to understand that our sector will be among the most penalized from the virus, tourism will not return before a year. In the meantime, we are asking for a contribution on rents, taxes and opening credit at very low rates. Otherwise, for us, phase 2 will never start seriously .
