How this calculation works
This tool answers a question most people have asked themselves at least once while staring at a bank balance: how many margherita pizzas does this money actually buy? Type an amount in euros, pick a city, and you get the number of whole pizzas that amount covers, along with the change left over. The maths is deliberately trivial — one division and a round down — because the point is that you can check it in your head.
Where the prices come from
The reference prices come from the Socio-Economic Observatory of Neapolitan Pizza, run by the University of Naples “Parthenope” together with the CNR Department of Human and Social Sciences, the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana and FIPE Confcommercio Campania. Its first-year figures, presented on 16 January 2026, put the national average for a margherita at €7.04, with clear regional differences: €6.74 in Naples, €6.72 in the South, €7.46 in Central Italy and €7.66 in the North.
The assumptions, stated plainly
Three things are worth knowing before you take the answer seriously.
First, the source does not publish a price per individual city: it publishes an average per geographic area. Every city in the list therefore carries the average of its own area, with Naples as the single exception, since the source reports a figure for it. That is a reasonable estimate, not a price observed in that city.
Second, island cities such as Palermo and Cagliari are grouped under the southern figure, because that is how the source aggregates its data.
Third, the calculation ignores everything that is not the pizza itself: no cover charge, no drinks, no tip, no delivery fee. A real evening out costs more than the number above, and the gap widens with every extra person at the table.

Nothing, because it goes nowhere. The division runs in your browser, in JavaScript, and the amount you type is never sent to a server — there is no server to send it to. No cookies, no sign-up, nothing to accept.
