Pizza with Roasted Peppers, Tomatoes and Anchovies (Pizza con Peperoni, Pomodori e Alici)
When Romans want to suggest a casual meal with new acquaintances, they say, “Let’s have a pizza sometime.” Every neighborhood has at least one pizzeria, and the best have wood-burning ovens twice as hot as the average home oven, not to mention talented pizzaioli (pizza makers) who pull and twirl the balls of dough to the size of a plate and a thinness that ensures a crisp crust. Much like ravioli, pizza is the perfect blank slate on which to experiment with different toppings: try wild mushrooms and various cheeses, or a combination of mozzarella and prosciutto or arugula in place of the topping here.
