Where to eat pizza in Taranto: traditional and gourmet pizzerias with Puglian produce, between the centre and the seafront.
History
Though not its most ancient speciality, pizza is much loved and well made in Taranto. The city's pizzerias range from Neapolitan tradition to gourmet takes, often showcasing Puglian produce: from local dairy to the vegetables of the Ionian land.
What to see
In the centre and along the seafront you'll find pizzerias for every taste: classic ones with wood-fired ovens and traditional doughs, and more contemporary spots with long-fermented doughs and refined toppings. It's not unusual to find pizzas that tell of the territory, with burrata, mozzarella, turnip tops, capocollo and other typical produce.
Also worth trying are the great classics of Puglian rosticceria that often accompany pizza: pettole (fritters of leavened dough), panzerotti and fried calzoni.
Whether it's an informal dinner with friends or a family evening, pizza in Taranto is always a pleasant choice — better still with a sea view.
