The Beatification: an Excuse to go to Pizzarium

The beatification of Pope John Paul II was a few days ago so we decided to wade through the throngs of pilgrims and check it out…. and then get Pizzarium. The streets were a mess, there were people everywhere singing, chanting, crying. The trash layer was inches thick. It made the pizza that much more worth it.

It was also a special day because Bonci happened to be there and Miles asked if he could work there…. and he did for 4 or 5 whole days.  Pretty cool.  I hear they got along.  How couldn’t they.

So, anyway, at Pizzarium, we had bacala with fava puree and artichoke.  I also had the classic potato filler.  Just to be sure I could make it back to the Academy without having to stop for a snack.

Finally, Pizzarium for Pizza al Taglio

It’s about time we had something delicious to eat outside the AAR walls in Rome.  Pizzarium by Gabriele Bonci.  Kind of really expensive but so so good.  The crust was the best I’ve had in Italy in the last 6 months.  Crunchy and not greasy but olive oily.  Can you tell I loved it?  Okay.  We had:

  • the classic pizza rosa
  • potato pizza — holy shit.
  • artichoke pizza
  • ricotta, zucchini, basil pizza
  • roasted red pepper and mozzarella pizza
  • and I drooled over but did not eat: speck and crema di ceci
