A Roman-style pizza shop at 99 Manners Street in Te Aro, Wellington, where pizza is baked in trays called teglia and sold by the slice or as whole trays. The dough is long-fermented, and the pizzas are light and crispy with an airy inside. The menu also includes pasta, focaccia and pizza al taglio. One tray makes 10 slices. A vegan marinara and a range of pizzas with mozzarella, salami, mushrooms and speck are on the menu.
Reservations are taken for parties of four or more, and smaller groups can walk in, subject to availability. Whole trays need notice: one to two trays take 30 minutes to an hour, three to six trays need at least four hours, and six or more trays need one to two days. Some pizzas can be ordered online, and others depend on the day's selection, so the shop asks people to phone for a particular flavour. Open Locally lists five other pizza places within a kilometre.
