In order to eat good pizza in Apulia, you don’t necessarily need to reach the very point of the heel. Among the good reasons for a stop – perhaps when you’re driving to the Caribbean-style beaches of Salento – Lucera, the ancient capital of the Daunia region, and a customhouse for transhumance, offers some excellent pizzas from Sabino Stingone.
Born in 1989, self-trained, he became a pizzaiolo at a young age, to save some money, and was gradually charmed by dough and fermentation. Today he offers his pizzas – and some nice platters of charcuterie and cheese from Daunia – in the narrow yet cosy rooms of I Gastronauti, his pizzeria in Via Garibaldi 103, tel. +39 389 1750994.
