About Al Taglio

Long-fermented dough meets inventive toppings at this Albion Street pizzeria, turning out airy crusts customized to your bite. Patrons pick their base—thin and crunchy, classic, or Napoletana, alongside whole grain and gluten-free—before diving into unorthodox compositions. The kitchen swaps predictable red sauce for savory vegetable purées, layering octopus with capsicum reduction or smoked ham over zucchini purée. Silvio and the team run the dining room with warm Italian ospitalità, talking through dish backstories and offering off-menu options like their signature carbonara slice alongside house-made tiramisu.

  • Customizable Crust Styles: Diners select from classic, thin and crunchy, Neapolitan, whole grain, or gluten-free bases for each pie.
  • Inventive Gourmet Toppings: Pies feature unexpected pairings like octopus with capsicum sauce, zucchini purée with ricotta, and potato purée with chicken.
  • Engaged Host Hospitality: Silvio and the floor staff guide diners through dish origins and suggest off-menu creations like carbonara pizza.

Should you make a reservation before visiting?

Yes, reservations are accepted, and the staff are accommodating if your party is delayed, though booking ahead is a great idea for evening dining.
