Pizzeria Rocco Cagliostro
Genk, Belgium
The read// why locals go
On Onderwijslaan in Waterschei, Rocco Cagliostro fires his pizzas in a wood oven and puts his own name over the door. The kitchen works from Calabria, the region at the toe of Italy, and it shows in how the dough is handled — slowly, unhurried, then given the char that only a wood oven leaves. Rocco has taken regional prizes for his pizza-making, though you would not guess it from the room, which is a plain neighbourhood pizzeria rather than a place trading on its trophies. There is one address and no second branch. Eat in, or carry a box home through the old mining quarter.
