Rome is not the pizza capital. Naples is the city where it was invented. But of course, there are no problems to enjoy good pizzas in the Italian capital which is the city with the most pizzerias in Italy, more than 15,000! There are both Roman pizzas (pizza romana) that are thin with little or no border, and Neapolitan pizzas (pizza napoletana) with puffed pastry and thick edges. The establishments are generally divided between those who offer sliced pizza (for a snack at lunch for example) and those who serve it on the plate, to take away or on site. The most common and simple pizzas, are often the best. There are two types of traditional Neapolitan pizzas since the 18th century: margherita (tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil), and marinara (tomato sauce, garlic and oregano), with olive oil of course. The variants are numerous, and we appreciate in particular a few arugula leaves on the margherita, anchovies with pizza Napoli, or Calzone, pizza in a pudding with tomato, mozzarelle and cooked ham.
Among sliced pizza, with their light and swollen dough you can often find pizza rossa romana (Roman red pizza), tomato and oregano, and pizza bianca romana (Roman white pizza), with only a little olive oil but can be stuffed with various condiments, including mortadella which is one of the regional specialities.
Our favorite places are placed on the following map, with also some bakeries that also offer pizza to the cut.
