Small and quaint, small seating area- name on the door that remains open during biz hours so keep a close eye out or you'll walk by. Grabbed a few diff slices of pizza and an Ice tea to go and walked down the block to a fountain to enjoy the pizza and our first taste of Rome after a long travel day! We had pizza with anchovies, margarita and mushroom. While I wish I could remember what I liked best the jetlag for the best of me. The prices were great I do remember and I'd go back again, grab some slices and go sit at the fountain to enjoy! There's a small gelato spot right next to the fountain for you to grab some dessert afterwards.
We had our first meal here in Rome. The pizza was quite delicious. The pizza crust was very light and had an airy texture. A pizza slice is 3.50 Euro and it was a great price! The owner was very friendly and helpful with the pizza recommendations. We'll come back here again whenever we return to Rome.
Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food was good: warm and fresh. The focaccia was warm, fluffy, and crunchy. A good balance. I am trying to remember if there was a menu, but we just pointed at the different pizzas that we wanted. My partner and I picked two pizzas, and decided to ask the waiter for a recommendation. He pointed to one with purple cabbage and prosciutto. Personally I was not fond of this one as it had a bitter taste. The cabbage gave a more moist texture than the other two pizzas we ordered, which was very different. However, it was a favorite for my partner. It was one of his favorite pizzas he had here due to how unique it was. The other two pizzas we had here was good. The best part of this place was that it was to-go! Hard to come across in rome.
We stayed near the Colosseum for our trip, and we had to try Roman pizza. We found this small, hole-in-the wall place and it surprised us in the best way possible. We would rate the pizza here a solid 5/5! The pizza was VERY FRESH, and they warm up your pizza for you when they slice it to your desire. The crust is nice and crispy, and personally I love a crispy and thin crust. Overall a solid place, and I wished we went back before we left Rome!
A very small shop off the beaten path but well worth the adventure in finding this place. Cash only and like all pizza in Rome, you pay based on weight. There were a ton of locals lined up so we got in line and followed their lead. My husband and I shared the potato pizza, the margherita pizza and the mushroom pizza. The best bite we had was the margherita but the mushroom came in at a close second. We shared 3 pieces and 2 cokes for 12 euros. The places seats a very limited amount of people and we luckily scored two chairs near the front. Crispy, thin, delectable Roman pizza. A must try if you're in the area.
Being a person who can take or leave pizza and who fails to comprehend the hype, La Boccaccio proved that I'd just never before had the right pizza. What's the right pizza? The kind that sings to your heart, apparently. When I first spotted La Boccaccio there was a short line snaking out the door. Understandable, since the place seats only about 6 people total and is mostly a to-go venue of already prepared pizzas. When I passed by again the line was gone and I walked in, praying that the pizza wouldn't be lukewarm. Lukewarm pizza was a trend in Italy, for pizzas not made to order. Point at your choice and the woman behind the counter will hover her cleaver above it, raising her eyebrows towards you as you indicate exactly the portion size you'ld like. Pizza here is sold by the weight and it's cheap. It's also placed in the pizza oven for a reheat once you select your piece; no lukewarm pizza here. Upon first visit I knew I'd found my pizza. I've had plenty of cracker-crust thin pizza before but this version just sang to me: A little salty, a bit crunchy, and nicely topped. I finally understood the hype. A couple of days later I was back for a little nosh (zucchini blossom pizza, excellent) and later that day, back again. 3 visits, 2 in one day, and my son refused to let me go back a third time on the day before departure. If the allure of pizza remains a mystery to you, La Boccaccio might just solve it. Great stuff, and one thing I really miss now that I'm no longer in Rome.
The slices are delicious, we tried many pizza places in Rome and this was definitely one of our two favorite spots! $2.50 per slice (which is a good size) and a really nice area around the place too, if you prefer to take to go! P.S. the margarita was my favorite and I can't remember what the other one was called but it had sausage & peppers and tasted amazing!

Saw this spot on one of the Food shows and it turned out it was just steps from our hotel in Monti. Stand-up, no frills and mostly pizza. Not busy but steady traffic around 9:45 on a Tuesday evening. A good amount of Roman square pizza options. We got a slice of just about everything that was available. Potato/sausage (stood out as we hadn't had this before), Zucchini Pesto was delicious, Ham and classic Margherita also didn't disappoint. Crust was light/airy and made for the perfect balance between crust and toppings. Beer and soft drinks were also available. Service was quick and friendly. If in the Monti district, make this stop for reasonably priced traditional pizza al trancio. read more

This is a small pizza shop great for a quick bite near the colosseum. The slice I had was topped with fresh veggies, pesto, and cheese. It had a nice crunchy bottom but soft chew to the crust. Service was friendly and quick. read more

A small restaurant with excellent food. Has outside seating. Prices are very reasonable. To me, represents a small Italian restaurant that the locals would like. read more

After having pizza in so many cities around Italy, this wasn't my favorite. I still really enjoyed the pizza, especially the spicy tomato, the ham and cheese, and the fresh mozzarella & tomato slices. Sadly didn't care for the funghi slice at all. The pizza is definitely better when it's a fresh sheet rather than sitting for a bit so I'd opt for those. It's hard though to beat the 2.50 euro per slice price point nor the quality for a really quick bite in order to get back to sightseeing. read more

Delicious artichoke heart & goat cheese pizza, margarita pizza, stuffed pizza Great prices too read more
A fantastic lunch spot close to the coliseum. It's cheap and has some great pizza. It's quite small so there's only counter seating and at lunch time can be very crowded. They have a quite a few options for pizza but know that they charge by weight for the pizza, on average 1.80 for every 100 grams= 3.5 ounces! That's a lot of pizza! Damn this place is cheap! We got ham and cheese and a mushroom "slices" and 2 bombers of Italian beer, and a fried rice ball stuffed with beef called "suppli" for .....12 euros!! Damn that's a great price! The guys behind the counter speak English and move very quickly. It's a bit overwhelming to see all the toppings but just dive in! Totally loved the food here...... I highly recommend anyone get their pizza here! read more

Family owned business. Great way to eat lunch on the go. People are very nice and helpful. We were skeptical but it hit the spot for the entire family. Hole in the walls are sometimes the best comfort food. read more
Great pizza just behind our hotel. The space is quite small, only a couple of bar stools, one long counter and no tables. We came in just after 7pm, no one was around so we got to take our time picking what we wanted to try. All pizza's are weighed, warmed and served on a wooden tray all together. Drinks and 4 slices cost us about 13 euros. Really good pizza, crust is crunchy and addicting. This is a popular place, by the time we left the space was packed and a line was forming on the street. read more

Great place to stop by and try some different pizzas. They bake a bunch of different rectangular pies with various toppings and you just point to the ones you want, tell them the size, and they'll weigh it and heat it up for you. I had the mushroom and a sundried tomato, eggplant and sausage pizza and they were both delicious. The crust was nice and crunchy and the toppings paired well. read more

La Boccaccia, is a must-visit stop on the way! It is just a small pizza stop, with limited seats. Most of people choose take-away or to eat fast while standing. It is quick, yummy, with plenty of pizza choices and cheap! Perfect, right?! Also, they continue making different pizza throughout the whole day, so whenever you go, you might be attracted by a new one, also, you can always ask for a smaller piece and try as many different pizza as you can! Don't be too greedy like me. Oops, also, they have pizza with nutella! I know, it's a bit weird, but who doesn't like nutella, and with pizza?! more on my blog: https://www.gustobeats.com/best-places-to-eat-in-rome-for-a-3-day-rome-itinerary/ read more
A well-rated, casual dining establishment we found using Google maps, to get here from the Coliseum took climbing up and down steps, but expect this in Rome. I mention this for those with mobility issues. The relatively short 20-minute or so walk was well worth it. We waltzed right in and eventually chose four different kinds for eight total slices--all for $17, including one drink. We, fortunately, snagged two seats in the limited-seating but charming eating area and nibbled on Roman pizza for the next half an hour. From the time we sat down to the time we paid and then walked out the door, the line was consistently out the door. Most seemed to take the pizza with them, especially since seating was limited I suppose and maybe there was an extra charge for dine-in. Not sure; verify this if needed. By the way: Neopolitan vs. Roman? Roman hands down-- especially here during my seventh visit to the Eternal City from SoCal USA. read more

Our first stop in Rome; PIZZA! I wanted to get out and about but my boyfriend was starving. Luckily we stumbled upon this little restaurant on the way to the Trevi Fountain. I was basic and went with Margherita slices while my BFF ordered some mushroom pizza. His was WAY better than mine! Don't be like me and be basic...branch out! And if you like mushroom pizza, the slice at this place is to die for! read more
