BYOB! This chill Roman-style Rittenhouse pizza shop allows its dough to rise for a full 72 hours before baking it in rectangular trays and topping it with a variety of local ingredients, then serving it “al taglio” (by the cut). Salads, croquettes and tiramisu are also available at this bright counter-serve with wooden tables and black-and-white photos of Italy on the walls. - ZAGAT
