"You can’t talk about Rome without mentioning the Pope, and you can’t talk about Roman pizza without bringing up Bonci Pizzarium. The owner has been key in shaping the local pizza scene here, and has trained many of today’s top pizzaioli. Visit their fast-casual shop in Trionfale, grab a ticket, and when it’s your turn, order the crispy al taglio pizza topped with sweet fried eggplant, garnished with basil. They also serve slices with thinly-fried marinated onions topped with prosciutto cotto and a sprinkling of herbs. Pregame your pizza with some polpette di bollito, which are made up of perfectly seasoned shredded beef encased in a crispy crust." - Annie Replogle
