I'm on the hunt to try all the wood fired pizza in Pittsburgh and Taglio happened to be first!
My go to pizza when trying a new place is always the margharita. It's not pretentious and you can really taste all the elements of it. Theirs was fantastic! It was thin but wasn't so thin that it couldn't hold any toppings. Also, I could tell that they didn't use just white flour. It had a nice nuttiness to it. I asked and they said they now use about 25% whole wheat. They also cold ferment their dough two days. That's what helps with the complex flavors. The next most important thing to me is the sauce. I loved their unadulterated tomato sauce. They use real DOP San Marzano tomatoes and you can tell! It's bright and lovely. I pretty much fell in love with it!
I was greeted when I walked in and told them a friend would join me. I waited at the table and no waiter showed up. I had to go ask the girl if I could put an order in. To make a long story short it got busy and I didn't really see her again. Finally got her to take my card and then waited for another 10 minutes and another girl brought it back.
Overall the pizza really stands alone. I can get over bad service as long as I have good pizza. I will definitely be back again. If you're in the area give them a chance. You never know, you could just fall in love!
