When in Rome: Montecarlo Pizza
I was about to mention a noteworthy pizzeria I visited in Rome, Italy, when I came across a posting on Slice NY featuring Morrissey standing coolly in front of the very same place! Montecarlo, located in the Piazza Navona area of Rome, was recommended to me by a trusted local and turns out some of the best pizza in the city. Always busy, Montecarlo is like a slice of Brooklyn with its bright lights, charmingly abrupt service and warm house red wine. And just like at home, I was clueless about the celebrities whose photos cover the walls. We started with some perfectly fried mozzerella balls. I loved my onion pizza (all 8 slices of it) with its major charring around the edges. My friend enjoyed the signature Montecarlo pizza with about eighty toppings including olives, mushrooms, sausage, peppers, onions, artichokes and a fried egg. I won’t try to guess what Morrissey may have ordered, but check out the SliceNY article for a thoughtful analysis of the intersection of Morrissey and pizza.
