And precisely to give a concrete signal to the neighborhood, we chose to celebrate this important anniversary with asolidarity initiative: the creation of one special pizza, the proceeds of which will be used to purchase musical instruments for the Piccola Orchestra di Forcella which operates in House of Music.
This is fried pizza “Marisa”, dedicated to the famous Neapolitan actress Marisa Laurito. A dedication that is anything but casual: Marisa Laurito, artistic director of Trianon Theater located a few steps from the pizzeria, she is linked to Vincenzo Durante by a long friendship. Its name represents culture, commitment and rooting in the neighborhood.

The patroness of the initiative was present in the pizzeria during the press presentation evening, organized by journalist Laura Gambacorta.
An informal and warm occasion, in which Marisa Laurito was able to preview the pizza dedicated to her: a fried stuffed with Genoese cream, provola, pecorino, pepper and basil. A meeting of intense and enveloping flavors that the actress particularly appreciated.
The entire proceeds from Marisa pizzas sold between 12 novembre 2025 and the 6 gennaio 2026 will be donated – immediately after the Epiphany – all’L'Altra Napoli EF Association which through the Porta dei Sogni Project offers free musical courses to children and young people from the complex neighborhoods of Naples belonging to families with economic and social hardship.

Among the fries that have marked these ten years of history of the pizzeria, Carmela stands out, dedicated to Vincenzo's mother. A tribute to family roots, already celebrated in the name of the pizzeria, 1947, the year of birth of the father, Gennaro.
Carmela is the classic fried dish par excellence, stuffed with provola, cicoli, pomodoro, pepper and basil, strictly without ricotta, according to the Forcella tradition, as reiterated by Durante.

Vincenzo Durante's pizzas, warm, scented and "blonde blondes" as tradition dictates, they bring back memories of days gone by, those after the Second World War, when the ladies fried in the street and you could pay even after eight days.
