Pizza Love in Tagliacozzo, Aquila (Abruzzo)

OK, if anyone knows me they know I am basically obsessed with pizza...Here in the States and ESPECIALLY in Italy. My, hands down, favorite spot is a little pizza shop in my mom's town in Italy (Tagliacozzo, Aquila in the Abruzzo region) called Al Solito Posto (translate: At the usual spot). They offer what is called Pizza A Taglio, basically pizza by the slice. It's AMAZINGGGGGG. Whenever I go to Italy, even before I unpack my suitcases, I make a pit stop here and stock up on probably any type of pizza they've made that day! Here are a few pics....Enjoy viewing and buon appetito! #pizzaobsession #iwantthispizzanow #iwishTagliacozzowoulddelivertome!

UPDATE: Since I first wrote this review last year, I have noticed that the pictured pasta dish of pancetta, peas and tartufo was no longer on their menu. My husband was so disappointed i think he may have shed a few tears.                                      Pizza basically melts my heart. I've had a love affair with pizza all my life. I just CAN'T. GET. ENOUGH. Now, fast forward to Burrata in Eastchester, NY and their pizza cooked in their imported wood fired oven. These pics I've posted don't do it justice. You will just have to go and try it yourself.        That crust, that delicious char throughout the pizza (it's not burned people, this is how it's supposed to look and taste!), and those fresh ingredients that just bring out the flavors of the pizza dough and sauces. Take for example the tartufo pizza (pictured here), not just truffle oil people, what you see is generous slivers of black truffle.
