"Sbanco is a cross between a sports bar and trendy pizzeria, with draft beer on tap, ample seating, and pizza makers working their magic in plain view. This San Giovanni hotspot is renowned for its Neapolitan-style pizzas, but your move should unquestionably be the fried pizza montanara. The puffy dough serves as a base for toppings like eggplant caponata and pollo e peperoni, a Roman classic that combines thick, tender shreds of slow-cooked chicken with strips of red bell peppers. Always start your meal with their mozzarella in carrozza that’s super crispy on the outside, and oozing with molten cheese and ‘nduja when broken open. Basically, if you see anything fried at Sbanco, it’s worth ordering." - annie replogle
