IL PIZZICOTTO | sliced Pizza
Pizzicotto litterally means “the cute pinch”, as in pinching little bites of heaven in the form of a pizza. They make only Pizza al Taglio – sliced- the Roman way, and i have to say they do it excellently.
In fact this pizzais light, healthy and overall incredibly tasty. Be it their use of the freshest local ingredients or the manically selected flours, they are clearly one step beyond competitors with a product that is really one of its kind.
To avoid the long queues at the flagship shop in the old town, head at one of their other brunches in Via Taranto or Via Salandra in the shopping district

LA SIRENA | traditional rosticceria
The undisputed queen of Lecce’s rosticcerias, La Sirena bakes every day hundreds of smoking hot calzoni – both fried and baked-, sliced pizza, croquetas, and few other stuff.
It’ just a tiny parlour in the shopping district where generations of Selentino people queue patiently -yes we the Italians are learning how to queue now- to gain their hot delights.
You haven’t been to Lecce if you even tried their calzone fritto.
