array of cakes.

PIZZERIA
PIZZARIUM€
(Via della Meloria 43; pizza slices from €3; 11am-9pm Mon-Sat; Cipro-Musei Vaticani)
A gourmet rev-
elation masquerading as an unassuming takeaway, hard-to-find Pizzarium serves some of
Rome's best sliced pizza. Served on a wooden chopping board, its perfect crust is topped
with original, intensely flavoured ingredients. There's also a daily selection of
supplì
(crunchy rice croquettes), juices and chilled beers.
