Most people who weigh in recommend Alice Pizza, and several say the pizza is good, mostly as dependable pizza al taglio for a quick slice. It is a chain with many branches across Rome and Italy: a couple of people name the Trastevere branch, while others mean spots near the Vatican, so the praise covers the brand across its outlets rather than one branch. Two diners find it very greasy and heavy with oil, and one commenter finds it odd to see a chain listed as Rome's best pizza. A couple of people point toward independent shops with fresh-made pizza.
