Pizza al Trancio -- Pizza by the slice

When we've been working hard in the Stresa Sights office, and we need to take a pause for a little nourishment, we do what good Americans and Italians everywhere always do. We grab a quick pizza to go. Italy isn't known to have much fast food or takeaway, as we do in the States, and it is especially difficult to find in little Stresa, but there is a wonderful little pizza takeaway shop, on via A.M. Bolongaro, that you should know about.

With just a few tiny, standing-height-only tables inside, Pizza al Trancio il Capriccio Fast Food is definitely intended to be a grab-your-slice-and-go type of pizza place. Behind the glass counter they usually have about six freshly made pizzas of various types. Always the classic margherita, usually a nice salame, and then a variety of whatever other popular choices have just been prepared. Slices are large, cheese is fresh, meats are soooo flavorful, and the crust is the perfect consistency.
