When in Rome ... eat Pizza!

My trip to Rome is fast looming and another food item I’ve been researching is pizza. 

On my first visit to Rome I loved the novelty of pizza al taglio (pizza by the cut). These are long rectangular pizzas which are cut up for you depending on how big a piece you want. 
Pizzarium near the Vatican sounds delicious, especially the pizza alle patate pictured below. I’ve read that they also have excellent suppli which are similar to arancini.

Another Roman specialty is pizza bianca. This is basically just plain pizza crust topped wiht olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. There are two bakeries in Campo de Fiori renowned for this, Forno Campo de Fiori and Antico Forno Roscioli. People flock to these places to try pizza rossa also (pizza bianca with tomato sauce and nothing else). 

Finally, I think I’ll try Da Remo for a classic sit down pizza. 

I’ll make sure I post some pictures when I’m back!
