The ”pizza al tralcio” has nothing to do with Neapolitan pizza. The pizza al trancio (pizza by the slices) has Tuscan origins. It is cooked in a wood oven, but inside metal round pans. This kind of pizza is half of an inch high, it has a crunchy crust and a soft dough. Here below are the best” interpreters” of it in Milan that Valerio M. Visintin of Corriere della Sera chooses for you.

In pole position Fusco (via Cadore 58) one of the best in Milan. In the menu also “farinata” , sausages, vegetables and homemade baked cakes.

And the other “magnificent” 9 pizzeria where you can eat from 10 euros are:


Marino ( via Farini 8)
Pino (Via Fulvio Testi 78)
Pizzeria SPQ (Via Giuseppe Ripamonti)
Attilio (via Teodosio 82)
Mimmo (via Alfredo Albertini 2)
Al Cerro Ardente (via Montenero 16)
I Monelli di Porta Romana 129
Giuliano (via Paolo Sarpi 60)
Antica Pizzeria Fiorentina ( Bligny 41)

The word “pizza” is one of the first Italian words. According to the historian Giuseppe Knuckle the word pizza was used for the first time in Gaeta, a fishing village in southern Lazio in  997 AD. (not in Naples!)pizza

According to his study the pizza, at least as etymology, would take its moves from a mill near the Garigliano river, which divides Lazio from Campania. This name appears in fact for the first time in a deed  preserved in the cathedral of Gaeta and drafted in May of 997 AD.

naples pizza

The lease of a mill located by the river Garigliano and the adjoining land, had legal effect provided that “every year on Christmas Day  , you and your heirs must  paid to us and our successors, by way of rent ….. twelve pizzas, a shoulder pork and a kidney, and likewise twelve pizzas and a couple of chickens in the day of Easter of Resurrection. ” The deed was originally written in Latin  but contain the Italian vernacular term  of pizza.

And below, I like to provide some extra tidbits of Pizza history to all Pizza lovers and fans out there….

  • The ” archeopizza “, in the seventeenth century in Naples was a poor dish of  white flat bread covered with lard. The tomato on the pizza arrived just after a while.
  • In 1870, Margherita di Savoia during her stay in Naples was honored with a pizza with  the colors of the Italian flag, white, red and green  and so the” pizza Margherita” became the banner of United Italy.
  • The same year, the loyal subjects of the Bourbons  came up with a pizza topped with mozzarella  from Caserta, little tomatoes from  the Vesuvius, Gaeta olives, and anchovies to honor the last queen of the Kingdom of the Two Sicily’s, Maria Sofia.
