The Pizzeria Napoli is a pizza restaurant in Baghdad, Iraq. The owner Waleed Mamoud previously lived in Italy and along with his brother, set up the restaurant on Saturday, June 27, 2003[1] after the fall of Saddam Hussein's government after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He made a risk business selling pizza to coalition troops, and even received a mobile phone from American forces to receive orders. His business suffered as the insurgency flared in Iraq and in December 2004, a suicide bomber blew up outside of coalition headquarters and severely damaged his restaurant, among other buildings nearby.
