The most important thread of mine in 2021: the 5 must-follow food laws in Naples (mostly applicable throughout Italy).
I am from a small town close to the Amalfi Coast, where GDP per capita is $20k/year and youth unemployment rate is >30% but we know how to make a pizza!

Rule #1
NO cappuccino or any other types of coffee containing milk after 11am (the strictest Italians would say this is not allowed after 9am).
Milk after 11am is for kids, and adults are allowed to drink it in any format only early in the morning.
Later?
Just. Don't.

Rule #2
Pizza is not crispy, not crunchy, not <1mm thin
The proper Neapolitan pizza has a fluffy & airy outside crust, it gets thinner towards the center and it melts in your mouth
Looks different than what I described?
Then it's NOT Neapolitan pizza
My best effort in the pic!

Rule #3
Allowed toppings for pizza: plenty of things, actually.
Mostly stay away from:
- Chicken
- Pineapple
We might try to kill you if you go for one of the above.

Rule #4
Pasta al dente, for f**k's sake!
We are not at the hospital here, and neither our teeth are damaged such that we must eat super soft and chewy stuff.
Also, if I see a bottle of ketchup nearby a pasta dish I'm going to call the police.

Rule #5
No, you can't mix salad, pasta and meat in the same plate. Have a bit of self-respect.
One plate for your salad, one for your pasta, one for your meat/fish.
Che c*zzo!
