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.

  • Carbonara Pizza

    The Capricciosa and Carbonara pizzas were absolutely fantastic and my favourites, and I would definitely recommend folks to try these two pizzas.

    Tried the Carbonara, Capricciosa & Buffalo mozzarella. Tried each of the three styles of crust on each, thin & crispy, classic & neapolitan.

  • Primavera Pizza

    The pizzas here were seriously impressive, especially the Primavera with zucchini purée, ricotta, and smoked ham, such a good balance of flavours.

  • Golosa Pizza

    What we ordered: 🍕 Golosa — goat cheese, pancetta, asparagus, egg yolk ($33) It was well-balanced and with the pancetta having a prosciutto-like flavour that worked really nicely with the other ingredients.
