Santa Maria Capua Vetere, in the province and not far from Caserta, seat of the first Roman amphitheater I have already told you about, is a charming town full of cafes where you can eat well without spending too much.
One of these is theHangout, restaurant-pub pizzeria located in via Augusto Righi in the Market area. The slightly dark road could deceive you and make you desist from stopping. You would be wrong. The area is quiet, a few steps from the always crowded town hall and a little lack of light is not such a high price to pay, indeed, you will be rewarded!
The Hangout is a family run and upon entering, in fact, you will feel at home. The owner is a middle-aged gentleman, very sweet and reserved, with a warm but discreet welcome. The place is not very large, with wooden tables and benches, also in wood, to act as seats. In short, a classic pub atmosphere. The pizza maker, with his oven, is just a few steps away from the tables, so that you can see with your eyes his art and the preparation of your pizza.
Il menu, with truly ridiculous prices, it is rich and varied. It ranges from the most classic to the most particular pizzas, meat, buffet appetizers or more traditional ones.
La specialty of the Hangout is the fried mozzarella. Something high-calorie and hyper-heavy to be divided into maybe two or three people if you don't want to risk not eating anything else, but it must be tried ... absolutely! The pizzas are very large, light and flavorful. Argentine angus is also not bad.
