Preparation

In the most traditional Italian pizza al taglio shops, such as pizzerias and bakeries, pizza is often cooked in a wood-fired oven.^[4] In today's establishments, electric ovens are also often used. The rectangular pizza shape^[4] makes it easier to cut and divide the pizza to the buyer's desire, which is often distinguished by weight.^[5] The dish is often eaten as a casual, takeaway dish that is eaten outside the restaurants where it is served,^[3] such as in a piazza.^[4]
