We're back! And hungry for pizza!

We're so happy to be able to get out and about a bit more. We're not doing anything crazy like going to a discotheque (as if), but we have extended ourselves to takeout pizza from Dige's. 

For those who haven't visited, Dige's is a Tuderte fixture. Located in the first (small) piazza you come to in town, they are a corner joint right next to the bus stop. They get a ton of school traffic, needless to say, but they also get a lot of loyalty from locals. 

Called "pizza al taglio" ("cut pizza"), they are large, rectangular sheets of pizza with different toppings. You order the part of the pizza you want based on the toppings, and indicate the size that they cut off using scissors. During the pandemic, they went with a different way of making the pizzas, including a new recipe for the crust and no longer using the HUGE metal pans that they used to have. Different, yes. Better? I think both ways of doing the pizza are spectacular, so I can't say.

 If you prefer, and are organized, you can also order a thin-crust individual round pizza. These are about 14" diameter, but since they're thin, they're quite manageable if you're hungry. Or you can have leftovers! A "normal" size piece of cheese pizza will set you back about $1.50 or $2.00, and an individual pizza to order runs about $7.

They also offer wonderful chicken salad, spelt salad, chicken wings, and porchetta! Porchetta is an incredible roast pork sandwich made with split focaccia. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Love,

Alexandra
