Alce Nero- Berberè - Pizza

We discovered our new favorite place to grab a pizza. 

Of course, in Italy, you can find a pizzeria on practically every corner and sometimes pizzas can be more or less the same. 

We of course have our favorite "pakistani" pizza shop that only does take-out/delivery. We are very loyal to this pizzeria and without fail, if we order a pizza in, we will call them. So much so that they recognize us on the telephone, have added Luca on facebook, and sometimes we get  some extra perks. 

But ordering in pizza is different than going out for pizza. You are willing to spend more in order to get a better tasting and higher quality pizza. 

If anyone knows about pizza- it's definitely an Italian. Every time we go out Luca has a critique to make about the dough, the tomato sauce, the toppings, and how well cooked it is. 

Since he has recently changed cities for work, he and his colleagues decided to go out for lunch at a new place. They went to Alce Nero Berberè and ordered pizza. Luca came home that night raving about how good it was. 

So the following day we went to their other location in the city center- Via Petroni 9. 

We ordered 2 pizzas- and sure enough it is definitely one of the best I have ever had in Italy. 

Bacon / Pecorino Cheese/ Balsamic Vinegar

Sausage / fiordilatte cheese / sweet onions

First of all, the whole restaurant is organic and promote and use local ingredients. The topping combinations are unique, flavorful, and all very savory. And the crust is light, soft and crispy (just like Punch Pizza  if you're familiar the famous Minnesota pizza chain).  You also have the choice of changing the dough for a more digestible one, or with different kinds of flour such as kamut. 

We liked this place so much that we went back just 4 days later! However the only down side is the price, but you definitely pay for what you get. 

Check out their website to learn about their philosophy and definitely stop by to eat a pizza sometime!
