Ammodo

Ammodo is the Palermo address where the city's two pizza traditions are priced side by side: Daniele Vaccarella's menu runs six named doughs built on Sicilian durum (Russello, Tumminia, bianco madonita) and live lievito madre, and the antipasti carry a sfincione bagherese at 12 euro among the round pizzas. Vincenzo Pagano's 2024 review sets out each dough in the pizzeria's own words and records the oven as an open-mouth electric Moretti Neapolis. Vaccarella came to his own place after the research he had been doing since 2010 on slow maturation, lievito madre and ancient grains, work that a 2018 PalermoToday report describes while La Braciera's owner Antonio Cottone is quoted calling him 'il nostro Daniele Vaccarella'.
