2. Grazie a Dio e Venerdi

"Camila" - Mozzarella, rucula and maize
Via dei Capocci, 1 | angolo Via Clementina 13/14, Rome, Italy


This was an interesting pizza and although it was good it wasn't for me. It was a nice change to have corn/maize on it. I'll stick to maize on my salads though. Slightly burnt crust and basically the toppings were just thrown on top. Still enjoyable but they don't scream amazing or "pizza".

We had a few different pizzas at this appropriately themed Christmas/going-away/pizza party. The more pizza the better. I didn't know where to start but I loved them all (except marinara - dough and tomato sauce really shouldn't count as pizza as there is little flavour and no substance). But the cheeses were excellent as always. Great company and other good non-pizza food as well I heard.

Via dei Capocci 1

This is one of the higher ranked restaurants (of all kinds) in Rome at 583 out of 7 044. There is often a line up and they take reservations for many of the customers. I went here for dinner with the newest pizza wife who strongly recommended it. It was a pretty cool place and was very busy. This pizza was huge (they seemed to be very haphazard) and had a lot of chicory on it. I have never seen this much chicory before. I think there was more chicory than cheese or pizza dough. So although all the ingredients were excellent, I felt that I was eating most of a cabbage with some bread and cheese on the side. The service was good but I think they are a bit flustered as in between ordering the pizzas and receiving the pizzas we were asked what kind of desert we would like or whether we would like the bill. We replied that we would like the pizza first and she ran off after remembering that we hadn't eaten yet.

Thank god it's Friday

Here was another different pizza which had feta on it which is very rare in Rome. It also had onion which usually isn't an option. I'm a huge fan of a lot of different options on pizza - I love pineapple, feta, olives, broccoli and red onions on pizza and would often order that when possible back in inferior-pizza-Canada. The olives here were pretty average and for some reason they couldn't understand what I meant by Coke Zero so I got regular coke, but overall it was really good.  I kept feeling that this place was amazing and that I just needed to find the right type of pizza and it would rank among the best in Rome. This unfortunately was not it, but it was still very good. Time to try a four cheese pizza here next.
