Pizza bianca (white pizza) is a Roman dish that's more like seasoned flatbread than your typical pizza. It's great with the salumi and cheese.

What to drink:

When he's in Orvieto, Alex stops by his friend Enzo Fausto's vineyard and picks up wines for dinner. For those of us not in Orvieto, Alex suggests the Arnaldo-Caprai 2006 "Grecante," Grechetto dei Colli Martani ($20). This Umbrian white is delicious with the starters and can be poured throughout the meal.
