Pizza Village is the most eagerly awaited event for pizza lovers — a true tribute to Neapolitan culinary tradition, held in the evocative setting of the Mostra d’Oltremare. This celebration of pizza attracts visitors from all over the world, eager to taste authentic Neapolitan pizza and watch live performances by master pizzaioli.
The XII edition of the Coca‑Cola Pizza Village was inaugurated by Mayor Gaetano Manfredi. The Mayor was welcomed by the event organizers, Claudio Sebillo and Alessandro Marinacci. After meeting the master pizzaioli participating in the event, he was hosted by RTL 102.5 for a live interview, where he spoke about Naples, the Pizza Village format, and the records achieved over the years.
A total of 30 pizzerias are featured at Pizza Village Napoli 2024. In addition to the timeless classics — Margherita and Marinara — each pizzeria presents its own signature pizza, created especially for the event.
This year, the event — scheduled from June 14 to 23, 2024 — is enriched by the presence of the GPN Association and La Piccola Napoli, two organizations that embody the passion and artistry of Neapolitan pizza.
Among the distinguished guests, Pizza Village proudly welcomes internationally renowned pizzaioli such as Ciro De Cicco, Davide Civitiello, Giuseppe Celio of Pizzeria Lucignolo, Vincenzo Capuano, Raf Longobardi, Jessica De Vivo, and the patron of Mulino Caputo, Antimo Caputo. With their skilled hands, these masters transform simple ingredients into true culinary works of art.

After the winner is announced, Pizza Village will transform into a place of celebration to honor a very special anniversary: the 100 years of Mulino Caputo, a company that has shaped the history of pizza with its superior‑quality flour. The celebration will pay tribute to a century of dedication and innovation in the world of pizza, and will be an opportunity to come together and celebrate the bright future that awaits this timeless culinary tradition.
Pizza Village is therefore not just an event, but an immersive experience that celebrates the culture, history, and flavor of Neapolitan pizza — making it the true star of an unforgettable festival that brings together tradition and innovation under the sky of Naples.
