5. Did someone say "Pizza"?

Although it is not a real destination, I can't help but recommend that on your visit to Tramonti you stop and taste its very famous pizza! In fact, Tramonti's pizza has a long tradition: different from Neapolitan pizza, it was exported all over the world after World War II and is made even tastier by the use of top-quality local ingredients, such as fior di latte from the Monti Lattari and Re Fiascone tomato.
