๐Ÿ’ก Roman pizza is different from Neapolitan โ€” thinner, crunchier, and argued about just as fiercely.

Roman pizza style

Rome has two pizza traditions: pizza tonda (round, thin, crispy โ€” the Roman pizzeria style) and pizza al taglio (rectangular, thick, sold by weight โ€” the street food style). Classes teach one or both. Roman dough uses olive oil (Naples doesn't) and ferments longer, creating a crunchier, lighter base. The class covers dough-making, stretching to that impossible Roman thinness, topping, and oven technique.

What makes it different from Naples

Roman pizza is a knife-and-fork affair โ€” thin enough to see through in the center, impossibly crispy, no puffy cornicione. The focus is on the crunch, not the chew. Meanwhile, pizza al taglio (Bonci-style) is its own art โ€” thick, airy, crispy-bottomed, with creative toppings. Both are covered in good Roman classes.

๐Ÿ’ก The Rome vs Naples pizza war: Neapolitans think Roman pizza is a cracker. Romans think Neapolitan pizza is soggy bread. Both are wrong. Both are perfect for what they are. Taking a class in each city is the diplomatic move โ€” and the delicious one.
