San Marzano tomato tomatoes sold commercially are grown in Italy, though they are produced commercially in smaller quantities in other countries. Because of San Marzano's premium pricing, there is an ongoing battle against fraudulent product. On November 22, 2010, the Italian carabinieri confiscated 1,470 tons of canned tomatoes worth €1.2 million of improperly labeled product. San Marzano tomatoes, along with Roma tomatoes, have been designated as the only tomatoes that can be used for Vera Pizza Napoletana (True Neapolitan Pizza). San Marzano tomatoes originate from the small town of San Marzano sul Sarno, near Naples, Italy, and were first grown in volcanic soil
