Where To Find A Really Tasty Pizza In Rome?

It would be strange not to try pizza when being in Rome. But unfortunately, in some pizzerias it can be tasteless, burnt or even ‘rubbery’. Therefore, we’ve prepared the list of Rome’s establishments, where you can enjoy the most delicious, tender and flavored pizza.

Sforno

Many people consider this place to be the best pizza-spot in Rome. It serves pizza in the Neapolitan style – with tasty dough and with lots of filling. However, don’t hurry to feast on the main course. Start with ‘fritti’ (fried snacks), for example with ‘suppli ‘alla gricia’ – fried balls of rice with dried pork, sheep cheese pecorino and black pepper. Of course, don’t forget to order a glass of beer.

The menu features a great range of pizzas – from the traditional ‘Margarita’ to such rare species as the ‘scozzese’ (with potatoes, salmon, mozzarella cheese and parsley) – each kind of pizza is cooked by using high-quality dough.
