Top ten pizzerie al taglio di Roma – Torno a parlarvi di cibo, cibo italiano, cibo romano, cibo buonissimo. Quando scrivevo per Swide.com – il magazine on line di Dolce&Gabbana che purtroppo ora non esiste più – era una delle cose che mi piaceva fare di più: raccontare i posti dove mi piace andare a mangiare.
Una città come Roma offre tanti spunti (e spuntini) e il caso di dire, e non mancano le occasioni, del resto in una metropoli per incontrare un amico spesso si gira da una parte all’altra della città e quindi capita spesso di scovare nuovi posti da trovare.
Iniziamo con le pizzerie al taglio. Inutile dirvi che qui a Roma la pizza al taglio va tantissimo, perché si passa molto tempo fuori casa e quindi, ogni tanto un pezzetto di pizza prima di tornare a casa o al lavoro, capita che ci si fermi per mangiarlo al volo, da soli o in compagnia.
Intanto ecco le mie10 pizzerie al taglio preferite a Roma

Top 10 best pizza by the slice in Rome: where to find them
Italians are deeply and madly in love with pizza, just in Rome you can find more then 5000 pizzeria by the slice. How to choose the best one? Light dough and digestibility, for example, are two important peculiarities. Here we suggest you our top ten to absolutely try.
In Italy you can find two different types of pizza: the “pizza tonda” or round pizza, baked in a wood-burning oven and usually eaten at dinnertime, and “pizza al taglio” or pizza by the slice, eaten instead, for a speedy lunch or like a snack during the day.
The round most classic pizza is called “margherita”, it is also the base for many other types that just change by adding other toppings; in general it has a thin crust, a base covered by tomato sauce, and a smattering of fresh mozzarella cheese; it is intended for one person and you need a knife and a fork to eat it.
While pizza by the slice is rectangular and you can choose the size of the slice, it is thicker and you don’t need to be seated and have piece of cutlery to eat it.
You just choose your favourite toppings, if there are some you don’t know or you have ever tried you can ask for a little piece, and then decided on the size of your slices.
In these kinds of pizzeria there are not always a large number of tables or places to sit, they are more a place to pass through. So you can take your pizza and eat it in a park nearby, on the steps of a church, in a piazza, on a grassy bit of lawn or just back home or in your hotel room.
