Perfect Pizza at Fucina’s in Rome

In Fucina, pizza is accorded restaurant-caliber treatment. Chef-Owner Edoardo Papa alters his toppings to reflect the seasons, and he is as choosy about ingredients as any three-star chef. But this acclaimed pizzaiolo would say his real talent is knowing when the dough has proofed enough and is ready to stretch. He calls that the “maturation moment,” and if he misses it, the pizza won’t be a peak experience.

Roscioli’s Famous Roman-Style Pizza

Let’s check out a favorite pizza shop in Rome where pizza alla palla is a daily ritual for many. This style fits right in with the fast pace of life in the country’s capital, and although pizza alla palla may be fast food, it is produced with great attention to detail. Roscioli is an institution in Rome. A fourth-generation family-run business that serves pizza by weight, Roscioli is beloved for its pizza bianca, pizza rosa, or pizza margherita. We talk to Cesare Agostini about Roman-style pizza: thin like a cracker, and always served hot.

A Passion for Pizza

Flour, water, yeast, and time—that’s how every pizza begins. Yet for such a simple dish, pizza stirs up passions. Thin and supple…or thick and crisp? Loaded with cheese…or lightly topped? Everybody has an opinion about what makes a good slice and a favorite place to find it. But great pizza? That’s more elusive.
A Passion for Pizza is a video series from The Culinary Institute of America, filmed on location in Naples, Rome and New York City. We follow pizza experts, some of them third- generation pizzaioli, who believe that great pizza can be a transcendent experience. They may differ in their methods, but they share an obsession, a single-minded focus on each element of the dish from the flour to the water to the type of wood in the oven.
