16/03/2025: An inveterate eater of pucce poldo since I was 10 years old (now that I'm reviewing I'm 22), I've personally seen and tasted all the evolutions of this historic place and its products.
It is located in a central point of the hamlet of Taranto called Lama, very easy to get there, as well as finding parking, obviously free. The huge venue, in addition to the kitchen, bathroom, beer counter and cash register, offers vast and always clean spaces. Consequently, even if you cannot make table reservations, you can be sure of still finding a seat, unless you want to pick up takeaway. In the latter case, I suggest calling in the late afternoon, specifying the precise time at which to come.
They also prepare pizzas, panzerotti and pikaciu, but the specialties are the pucce, with the most iconic birds and bowlers. The dough is golden and crunchy and the size (in length/width) is almost that of a pizza, but it is so rich in toppings that it is decidedly more filling. The meat is always of the highest quality, as are all the other ingredients: chips, salad, tomatoes and if you want additional ones, you can put whatever you want. For the little ones, who cannot easily eat almost a kilo of stuff, you can take the mini puccia (half a kilo), while for the more adventurous Poldo and Mega Poldo (up to 1.5 kg or more).
Prices are proportional to quality/quantity and the costs of other venues.
The staff is friendly and nice, especially the men who cook and assemble the preparations.
I highly recommend it!
