Before to suggest you some of the best pizza restaurants where you can eat a nice pizza, here there is a short introduction describing the main kinds of pizza you can eat in Rome:
Neapolitan pizza

Classic Neapolitan dough is not allowed any kind of fat,only water, flour, yeast (beer or natural) and salt.
The cooking of the Neapolitan pizza, finally, is always and done exclusively through the use of the wood stove and then never using other cooking methods such as the oven.
