About Taglio di Roma

Walk in off Boulevard d'Auteuil and the smell hits you before the menu does — blistered dough, caramelized cheese, that faint char from a properly hot oven working overtime. This is a Roman-style al taglio joint in the middle of Laval, which sounds improbable until you bite through a slab of that rectangular pizza and feel the crust shatter and then give way to something pillowy and sour in the best way. The setup is no-nonsense counter service: you point, they cut, they weigh, you eat. No reservations, no tablecloths, no sommelier hovering — just trays of pizza under glass rotating through the day. Prices are fair enough that you can try three or four different slices without doing damage to your wallet, and the room handles groups well because nobody's precious about seating arrangements. The one real drawback is that by dinnertime the more interesting toppings tend to vanish, leaving you with the safe, predictable options. Hit this place at lunch when the selection is deepest, bring a few friends who won't argue about splitting slices, and make sure you grab whatever has the thinnest layer of potato and rosemary — that's the one that'll rewire your expectations.
