I’ve been recommended to try Manlio’s pizza several times and finally got there today – and it really is good!  A young couple work from tiny premises at the top of rue Jacques de la Roque…on the left past the Cathedral, going up.

The chef is from Rome as is the concept of Pizza al Taglio, literally ‘by the slice’.  It’s cooked in rectangular trays and sold by the weight.  The base is quite thick but light and crunchy with bubbles, providing a non-soggy base for casual eating – it was developed in Rome to be held in the hand.  Perfect for munching in the chilly Aix streets right now!

There are a variety of toppings, and prices start at 5,70€ a (large) slice. All bases are gluten-free. Open Tues-Sat, 10-21hrs.  There are a couple of tables outside but most people in today’s cold wind were eating on the hoof, or taking it home to reheat. 

Thanks to Karina for reminding me to visit this one.
