One really minor note (unless you're Italian) - Ipolitina serves Calabrian style pizza al taglio, not Roman style. Different dough, different way of cooking it, and age-old enmity.
When I spoke to them, Ipolitina described their pizza as "pizza romana contemporánea", even though they are originally from Calabria. It’s always fascinating to see how styles and traditions evolve across regions—and continents.
Funny, because just a year ago I had a whole long conversation with the owner about the differences between Roman and Calabrian style, and how she was adamant about her pizza not being Roman. I wonder if she realized that Roman style is in right now, with numerous places popping up offering it, and decided to jump on that bandwagon.
Put me in jail then! (PS: I give La Mezzetta sooooo much love in every article I write about BA, it was time to change things up and give other pizzerias the spotlight)
CANCHA is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had
So goood! The BLT! The french onion soup! the lachmayin! yummmmm
Of course I have a pizza list. Just added Roma de Abasto.
Who doesn't have a pizza list?!
The pizza in BA! To die for! it is simply exquisite --
What a terrific list! Too bad we don’t have more time in this beautiful city to try them all.
So good, Allie!

Dear Allie - you know how much I love you - but - to leave off one of the greatest pizzas on earth - La Fugazetta at La Mazzeta is criminal.
