Pizzeria di Marmi (Ai Marmi)

Trastevere·$$

Margherita Pizza

€8.00

Thin-crust Roman pizza with tomato, mozzarella, and basil.

Dar Poeta

Trastevere·$$

€6.50

Roman-style pizza with tomato, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.

Tip: The simplicity is the test. No cream, no fancy toppings. Just tomato, cheese, and basil. If a pizzeria can't nail this, move on.

Pizzeria Ai Marmi

Trastevere·$$

€8.00

Thin crust with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.

Tip: Roman pizza should be thin enough to fold. If it's floppy, it's too thin. If it's stiff, it's too thick. Ai Marmi's is exactly right.

San Lorenzo·$

€4.50

Thin crust with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil.

Tip: The crust is thin and lightly charred. It's meant to be folded and eaten by hand.
