My favorite pizza in Rome is at Pastarito Pizzarito on the Via Veneto. Here is a link: http://www.rome4u.com/public/restaur...ito/index.html

Am taking note!

We ended up at DB, almost by accident. I didn't know it was Rome's "best" pizza. For two nights in a row, we saw lots of people lined up for it. On the third night, we had decided on pizza, and figured it must be good, due to the lines.We made a point to get there early and beat the line.

I have to say the most enjoyable part about it was sharing a table with a couple from Germany. We spoke very little German, and they spoke very little English, but we managed to "converse" and enjoy our time together. Very cool!

We had 2 TERRIBLE pizzas and awful servcie at Dar Poeta and wonder about all the hype. The best pizza we had in Rome was at Popi-Popi in Trastevere.

Acchiappafantasmi was recommended to us by our favorite chef who is previously from Capri. We loved it so much that we went twice. I'm not normally a fan of sausage but I the njuda pizza was out of this world!

Our favorite pizza in Rome is hands down - Da Michele Pizza. Via dell'Umilta 31. Few blocks from the Trevi Fountain. Amazing! It is actually kosher, but every time we went, the place was packed with nuns for some reason. They use potatoes sliced very thin on top and lots of roasted veggies. Really unusual and we all loved it!

When I was in Rome we found La Montecarlo. Vicolo Savelli 12. It was listed in another guidebook and we accidently found it. It's in an alley and open 12-3 and then in the evening again. We got there before 3 and he let us in. People tried to come in afterwards and he refused. He tells you where to sit aat a table with butcher paper on it. Served about the best pizza I've had in europe in years.

It's cheese on toast really.

Note that pizza is an evening meal for the Italians. Pizza places that cater to locals may be closed during lunch time.

I loved "Zio Ciro- La Madalena". There were a few around Rome, but the 1 my brother & I ate at was by the Pantheon in Piazza la Madalena. They have tons of pizzas to choose from, but you must try the simple & famous Margherita. there was a cool gelato/candy shop down the street, too (something called "Las Palmas" i think). I LOVE Acchiapafantasmi for their Spaghetti Carbonara, but unfortunately never tried the pizza. the beautiful trattoria-style restaurant had great food & service- a hidden jewel!

I live in Rome and never go to Baffetto or Montecarlo, too touristy and hectic for my taste and the quality (or hygiene) are not what it should be. If you want to sit with the locals, try La Berninetta - Via Pietro Cavallini (near Piazza Cavour) http://www.restaurantsrome.com/laberninetta/locale.htm or http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...pagewanted=all. Have a pizza (Roman style, so very thin crust, Neaopolitan pizza is the one with the thick crust) and a "fritto misto" (little pieces of zucchine, aubergine, artichoke and mushrooms, in dough and fried, delicious !).

can't wait to try these out! thanks

Behind the Jewish Temple which is across from the bridge to Travestere
are a few small places which sell it by the piece. Also there is a shop with fried tiny artichokes

Has any one thus far mentioned Lo Zozzone for pizza bianca?

On via del Teatro Pace, 32. No tables. You get it to go, and eat it in the Piazza Navona, steps away. Open 23 hours a day. 5 euros pays for a meal.

ps: just so you're not surprised if you don't speak italian, pizza bianca has no tomato sauce.

Just as a footnote, did you know ...

- the current holder of the 'best pizza-maker in Italy' title is Japanese?

Caused quite a stir - as you can imagine ;)

What's the vote for 2010's best thin-crust pizza in Rome? Going to be there in May, and my mouth is watering already!

This thread is old, started by Katie.

Anyone knows why she does not write any more?

Do we have a new editor?

Katie is on leave so we have someone filling in for her right now.
