ABOUT OUR PIZZA AL TRANCIO CRUST

Our pizza al trancio dough is our own recipe and is similar (but still varies) to what other pizza al trancio crusts are in Northern Italy. It’s actually a hybrid between pizza and focaccia. We make our dough with a blend of soft winter wheat from both California and Italy. The dough is different from pizza al taglio dough— it has a denser crumb, is slightly less hydrated and incorporates extra virgin olive oil. The result is a pillowy-soft top and a crispy bottom from our Italian steel pans and Moretti oven. It’s light and airy texture is easy to bite through, and its delicate flavor lets the toppings sing.

To clarify, pizza al trancio is NOT Roman-style (ultra-thin and crispy), nor Bonci-style pizza al taglio (not to be confused with true Roman pizza) and of course, totally different from Neopolitan-style pizza. Pizza al trancio is also pre-cut and not sold by weight like pizza al taglio.

We hope if you have not yet tried our pizza, you will soon. Our crust is like no other in the Bay Area and we welcome you to stop by for a taste.
