Il Podista, Rome

If you want genuine Roman pizza (a thin crust and plenty of toppings), look no further! Named after both Italy's and Europe's longest marathon, Il Podista boasts a lengthy menu of more than 30 different pizzas. Start with an appetizer such as Fiori di Zucca (fried zucchini flowers with mozzarella and anchovies) or a Suppli (mozzarella and rice fried into a palm-sized ball). Then try to narrow it down from a wide variety of pizzas. Or better yet, make it a group endeavor and order an assortment and share! Among the recommended are Pizza al Salmone (pizza with smoked salmon), Pizza alla Salsiccia (tomato, mozzarella, and spicy Italian sausage), and Pizza Quattro Stagioni (a medley of vegetables). -Aubrie Talarico
