Embark on a Culinary Journey: 6 Must-Try Pizza Spots in Rome
While Naples claims pizza's homeland, Rome's version is equally alluring. Below are the addresses every traveler should visit to relish pizza in Rome.
Dive into Da Remo
For pizza enthusiasts seeking an authentic Roman experience—crowded and chaotic—Da Remo is your destination. Every pizza feast here kicks off with fritti (fried delights), supplì (round risotto balls), and fiori di zucca (zucchini flowers) before diving into the main course.
Indulge in Pizza with Perfect Thinness and Crispy Edges
While the service may be a bit slow, and the ambiance a bit bustling, Da Remo is not for those seeking a laid-back meal. It's for those who crave irresistibly delicious pizza. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so be prepared to queue during peak hours. Open from Monday to Saturday, from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
Emma's Excellence
In Rome, Roscioli is synonymous with delicious cuisine, and Emma, part of the restaurant chain, showcases the essence of Roscioli. From the kneaded dough for the crust to the toppings, the restaurant's fourth-generation chefs create the finest pizza.
The delectable pizza is not just about the ingredients but also the airy and elegant ambiance. Diners indulging in pizza here can escape the hustle and bustle outside. Carefully selected ingredients, from Tuscan olive oil to Campania region cheese, are artisanally crafted...
The standout pizza at the restaurant is the posh margherita, topped with cheese, tomatoes, olive oil, and basil. The prices are reasonable, and the pizza quality is commendable. The restaurant opens daily, from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM.
La Pratolina
La Pratolina goes beyond the traditional round pizza; here, they craft oval-shaped pizzas using a special dough that takes 48 hours to rise. The pizzas are thicker, following the ancient Roman style of focaccia, considered a gift to the saints.
La Pratolina, once awarded the friendliest pizza joint in Rome, always welcomes patrons with smiles from the staff, complimentary white wine, and never any rush, even on the busiest nights. Open from 7:30 PM to 1:00 AM.
Ai Marmi
The restaurant takes its name, Ai Marmi (meaning 'marble'), from the marble tabletops gracing every dining area. This retro-style eatery stands out as the go-to place for scrumptious pizza in the Trastevere district. Illuminated with fluorescent lights and closely arranged seating, it's not overly chic but subtly adorned with traditional signboards.
The pizza flavor here is highly acclaimed, baked in a large wood-fired oven, delivering thin and crispy perfection. A must-try pizza when visiting is the salsiccia e fior di zucca, topped with sausage and zucchini flowers. Expect a queue forming outside by 8:00 PM, so try to arrive a bit earlier. The restaurant opens daily except Wednesdays, from 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM.
Pizzarium
Pizzarium specializes in handheld pizzas, pizza al taglio (sliced pizza). Just a 10-minute stroll from the Vatican Museums, it's the perfect spot to savor pizza while enjoying the scenery. Owned by Gabriele Bonci, the inventor of a special dough, the crust is light yet firm and crispy.
In addition to high-quality dough, the irresistible flavors of the pizzas here come from daily-changing toppings, ranging from broccoli, anchovies, mascarpone cheese to grilled meat and blue cheese. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday, from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday, from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Trapizzino
Stefano Callegari mastered the art of dough-making as a delivery boy for a bakery. He opened two pizza places, Sforno and Tonda, both in the suburbs. However, it's with Trapizzino, where Rome-style pizza takes the spotlight, that he made a name for himself.
The triangular-shaped pizza bianca, resembling a small pouch, is filled with traditional stuffing. Diners can choose coda alla vaccinara (oxtail stew), polpette al sugo (meatballs and tomato sauce), or trippa alla romana (Roman-style tripe). At Trapizzino, you always find this enticing street food. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, from noon to 1:00 AM.
