Fran’s review celebrates Pizzeria da Alba’s standout Pizza al padellino con salsiccia, praising its crisp, pan-fried crust and rich sausage topping. The overall vibe is one of warm, unpretentious satisfaction, making this a quietly beloved neighborhood spot.
“This pizza has a completely different look — the mozzarella is not uniform, the tomato turned orange in cooking. The cooking is perfect, the edge is well browned. There's lots of oregano on top. The dough is softer, less pasty, more melt-in-your-mouth, and the edge is crumbly. Excellent product, right price. I'd give it an 8.5, almost a 9 minus. Really liked it.”
