"Mirko Rizzo has proven himself to be a Renaissance man of sorts in the pizza department. He first made his name at his excellent pizza in teglia shop Pommidoro in Centocelle and now has waded into pizza tonda territory at his newest venture, L’Elementare, in Trastevere. Rizzo’s style has always leaned heavily decadent, as demonstrated by pizza toppings like Porco Blu (chicory, capocollo, and blue cheese cream), but especially by his fried starters like cream-drenched, deep-fried tortellini and fried bricks of lasagna. Wash it all down with a palate-cleansing beer from the formidable list." - Katie Parla
