"The capriciossa, topped with prosciutto, artichoke, mushrooms and tomatoes, is a stand-out. The crispy prosciutto and briny artichokes combine wonderfully with the richness of the cheese."

"Always bustling with locals, ‘di Matteo’ was originally founded in Salvatore Di Matteo in 1936. Back then it served poor local children “scugnizzi pizzaioli”, who spent more time eating pizza than going to school! Their menu is simple and you can order a "Bufalina DOC" for about five euros, and wash it down with a cold bottle of Peroni."

"My favorite pizza – in this perhaps I’m quite American – I love “pepperoni” pizza – in Italy salame piccante, please – and the hotter, the better. They call it the “Devil” pizza – Diavola Pizza and this one was very spicy (it was so hot, and delicious!)."
