Regional eating custom
One whole pizza per diner in Naples
In Naples, the traditional convention is that each diner orders and eats their own whole, individual-sized pizza rather than sharing slices cut from a larger pie — a genuinely different eating custom from the shared, sliced-from-one-large-pizza convention common in much of the United States and United Kingdom. This is documented practice, not merely a stereotype.
