Trieste is an easy five stars. It's a tiny place with only about 8-10 tables, but you can also order at the counter and take your food to go. We were lucky enough to grab a table for lunch. We had a margherita, pepperoni, and a burrata with prosciutto pizza. All three were outstanding. The crust, the dough, the toppings - everything tasted fresh and came together perfectly. One of the best, yet simplest meals we've had. They also offer salads, though we didn't try any. The two behind the counter were fun and friendly. They take your order, ask where you're from, and then shout out your location when your food is ready - a really fun touch. Bonus: our table had a USB charging station, which was a really nice surprise while out exploring the city. There's also a small bathroom in the back for customers. This one really hit home. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Trieste makes some delicious pizza and I would've given it 5 stars if they hadn't run out of their mini pizzas. Plus, the space is very hot inside, but better to sit near the window or do takeaway. I wasn't very hungry, but wanted one last pizza in Italy. When I saw that this spot does mini pizzas, which means I was able to choose a variety of flavors; I was so excited! Unfortunately, they ran out of the mini pizza dough and only had the large. It really is a shame, because I didn't think the bigger version is worth €15 each. Nonetheless, I ordered the Burrata & Anchovies while the husband got Pepperoni. I really did enjoy the flavor and chewiness of the dough. The burrata also gave it such a nice creaminess to balance the pizza that worked perfectly. Sadly, I had to waste a slice because I couldn't finish the larger pizza, so still a bit upset that I couldn't order the mini. With that said, it's a delicious pizza spot. read more

Italy trip December 2025: This was such a great find. The owner is quite proud of her establishment and her enthusiasm permeated the air as much as the aroma of her incredible food. Service: Walk in, place order, and wait to be amazed. She is so cute engaging in conversation and for us obvious tourists she asks where you're from. Why because she calls out your pick up by your response. San Diego!!!!!" I heard "Melbourne!!!" as well as "Brazil!!!!" It's a little place, maybe seats for 20? Seat yourself after your order. We got lucky and hit a lull in the traffic. When we left there was a line out the door. Food! Being that this was our first non-hotel meal of the trip this was awesome. Pizza dough is crisp yet chewy on the inside. The ingredients are fresh and plentiful. We ordered three pizzas: carbonara, amatricana, and a truffle. Also we tried a traditional Roman treat called a suppli. This was a deep fried risotto ball filled with meat and cheese. So...damn...good. Dessert-okay...she has a sign that literally says "Tiramisu Fucking Amazing". Homemade. The sign wasn't lying. This is a must when you're in Rome read more

Loved this place. The sign is right! Pizzas were just the right size for lunch and the salad ingredients were extremely fresh. Service was exactly what you would expect with a small hole-in-the-wall like this. Loved the ambiance. read more

Guys were comical dealing w/ our special Americano request! I added chicken to the margarita pizza. They gave a ton of chicken on it. We also got the Baratta pizza which was loaded w/ cheese. The breaded Cheese ball was super tasty. The chocolate chip cookie was effing amazing too. read more

Who shrunk my pizza? Tiny but mighty pizzas. They were all 4-5 euros and exceptionally delicious. We had the pepperoni because we obviously needed to compare the good 'ole American vs Italian. Definitely Italian won hands down. I'd skip the aranchini rice balls as they are microwaved. Looks like they've been sitting for a while and then reheated. This is an order at the counter and sit down until your state gets called. We were "California." The place is small. The air conditioning is weak and I'd place myself close to the tables near the outside. That said, this was one of the best pizzas! read more

Walk in and they'll hand you your menus. Find a seat, figure out what you want then walk back to counter to order. We had the Margarita and pepperoni pizzas and beers. Beers were really good with Fresca being slightly better than Igea. Music in the background and a really good vibe. Pizza was very good as well and for the price you can't go wrong. read more

This is a perfect stop for lunch. We each ordered 2 pizzas. They are fresh and crispy right from the oven when they call your order according to where you are from. Our group was Arizona and I heard multiple other states during our meal. I got the Burrata pizza with ham on top. The burrata speaks for itself so I wouldn't get the ham again. The fennel sausage pizza was incredible and hubby loved his spicy salami pizza. This is a perfect stop to refuel on your trek around the city. read more

Tiramisu was very bland and has lots of chocolate bits on top - which for some people would be delightful but gets in the way of the smooth texture of the tiramisu - would not recommend. Didn't try anything else, but pizza looks really delicious! read more

Trieste Pizza in Rome is a delightful find near the Colosseum. The Margherita and the daily special mushroom pizza were both exceptional, showcasing a thin crust with just the right balance of crunch and chew. The tomato sauce was especially memorable, bursting with a natural sweetness that elevated every bite. I think I rather like these types of pizza than the American counterpart. The service was excellent. While it's clear the area caters to tourists--with everyone walking in speaking English and the menu on the wall featuring English translations--it didn't detract from the experience. The welcoming atmosphere and high-quality ingredients made it a standout meal. If you're in the area and looking for authentic yet approachable pizza, Trieste Pizza is worth a visit. read more

Stopped by as our last meal in Rome before taking off to the airport. It's probably a good thing that was the case because this place was so good and we would've come back every meal! The mini personal pizzas are great because you can order a couple and try a greater variety of pizzas. Both of ours were so good (prosciutto and Italian sausage). Service was very fast and vibes are great with a couple cute shops nearby. Added bonus for being very cheap! read more

Great spot to have mini pizzas! Very different vibe from a traditional Italian pizzeria, but it's not a bad thing. As a tourist, it was great coming in and trying a bunch of different pizzettas. The staff were very nice. The pizzas themselves weren't the best we've had in Italy, but it was definitely a fun spot that allows for a ton of variety for people who want small bites or a quick snack on their trip. Our favorite one was the Margherita - keeping it nice and simple, but all were great! read more

Unique flavors we heard it from a friend handmade brick oven all at reasonable prices we chose several small ones to try a different flavors and if you get two smalls or even three, they're still about the same price as a large. Tiramisu decent. read more

Excellent mini pizzas! Perfect bite and thin crust. Such a fun concept to share 4 pizzas between two people. I don't think you can go wrong - just ask the staff what they recommend and you will be satisfied. Wish the USA had this idea read more

Great unique pizza! Friendly service. Definitely worth a stop. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Delicious pizza for our last meal in Rome! We were greeted by a very enthusiastic host who took our order and immediately welcomed us inside. He was so happy that it made us want to eat there! I got two smalls and my husband got a large which was perfect for us. I got to try two flavors: the margarita and one with pork sausage/broccoli. Both were amazing in their own ways, and prices were also reasonable. read more

We stopped for an afternoon snack after spending a long afternoon at the forum & coliseum tours. The pizza and tiramisu were great! Small pizzas are great individual sizes (4 slices keep in mind this was not a dinner). Large pizza was enough for two. The server was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent personal sized pizzas to go or eat in. Order at the counter and find a seat or get it to go. Service was friendly. They have small bottles of wine and bottles of beer. Modern vibe. Recommend it for a quick casual bite. read more

Delicious pizza. Great customer service. Small inside seating. Restroom available. I got the cheese pizza with bleu cheese. It was delicious. read more

This is the BEST pizza I've ever had. This was our first spot in Rome and the employees at the front were super friendly. There was no wait and ample amount of seating in the back. The menus are at the front and you could take a seat and come back up to order. The pizza's come in a small and large size. We're glad we got the large because we each got our own flavor and it was perfect to keep us full and exchange flavors. The employee mentioned that they would shout "NEW YORKKK" when our order was ready which was hilarious. The pepperoni pizza was immaculate. So juicy, savory, and crispy. The crust was soft and crispy as well. The cheese was soft and so flavorful as well. Everything complimented each other and I was obsessed. We also ordered a popular pizza that came with ham and basil which was delicious. It was salty yet flavorful and creamy because of the cheese. It definitely had a more refreshing kick to it! 100% would recommend this spot, we even came back for dinner another day! read more

AWARENESS: Let me start by saying, Yelp or its app is not really a thing in Italy. Trip Advisor seems to be their goto or, just word of mouth. But luckily, the wife and I were able to use the Yelp app to find this spot. NARRATIVE: Trieste is a really small but quant pizza place with seating inside only, I would guess there is enough room and tables to accommodate around 12 to 14 persons. As you walk in the front door, your met by a low counter and just to the left, a glass covered view of the pizza's available. The menu, even though written in Italian, has what each pizza's make up is written in English or, toppings you'll understand. Once you've placed your order, the owner or one his several employees will ask you a simple question; "where are you from?" The question to your answers come later when, instead of them calling your name to pick up your food, they simply say; "hey California or New York," your pizza is ready. Very kool... My wife ordered a Margarita pizza and I went with the Carbonara. Both pizza's were cooked perfectly. Thin, light and not a lot of "gabagool" covering them. SCENE: Like I mentioned above. Trieste is a very small place but their food and reviews (even on Yelp) speak volumes about the service and food. Located about two blocks from our hotel (Double Tree by Hilton), this Is what one thinks of pizza when it comes to authentic Italian style. RECOMMENDATION(S): A must bookmark if in the Monti area of Rome. read more

This place has such friendly workers! We had to go again on our second trip to Rome. The pepperoni pizza is so good. The sauce they use is phenomenal and the bread is cooked to perfection. This is a super casual place with seating in the back and front. This time, we went on a Sunday night and it wasn't as busy as the Saturday we had gone 1.5 years ago. Check it out! It's my favourite pizza spot in Rome! read more

Eat here! You must it is ridiculously delicious !!! Get the chips get the rice ball get the pizza get happy eat it!!

Two enthusiastic thumbs up! The staff was great, super cute, friendly and English speaking (even though we ordered in Italian and tried hard not to just speak English). We stopped by on a whim for a light lunch. At the counter we grabbed menus and found a table in the small dining room. There is no table service which was perfect for us. When we were ready to order we went back to the counter. They gave our order a nickname and we waited for that name to be called to go back and get our hot food. The pizza comes in two sizes. We got two small pizzas and an arancini plus two sodas. We wanted to try two different types instead of getting one large. The prices were great, about 4€ for a small pizza. We went with the potato and sausage, and the speck. A few other tables had a pizza with burrata that looked really good too. The arancini was small but tasty. The pizza was better. The speck was my favorite, so much flavor. The pizza crust was cooked perfectly and I wish we had gotten more to go for later in the afternoon! After we finished we brought the tray to the counter, paid our tab and said arrivederci to the staff. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 6/5 Ambiance: 5/5 This restaurant was close to our Airbnb and we decided to come here as our first food experience in rome. Upon our arrival, we felt that this was a home-y yet fun environment. There was laughter between the workers and the guests. My partner says "ciao" and the workers start speaking Italian to us. As our first Italian interaction, we felt at home. We both laughed as they realized we are non-italian speakers. Throughout our time here, my partner received many compliments for his amazing italian accent. After this interaction, the workers told us to sit and get comfortable, look at the menu and then to go back to order. They called on guests by calling where they're from. For ex; they called "California" when our order was ready. They also came and personally gave us napkins after realizing we forgot to get some at the front. Their service was amazing. We ordered a large Margherita, and two small carbonara/pepperoni. Margherita was FIRE, it melted in my mouth and the dough was so soft, chewy/melty, yet crispy with a good char. The pepperoni was the same as the margherita, but with pepperoni. Pepperoni was so good and a thick cut. Never tasted pepperoni with this certain pork flavor. The carbonara was interesting, the bacon released a good amount of fat which gave flavor but it felt greasy. The bacon tasted different from our bacon, it tasted cured then baked. The egg was a good touch but different. There was pepper on the carbonara and it was sooo good. We also had tiramisu, which I am not a big fan of. But it was ok, I am used to a more coffee flavor. I give this restaurant big props on easing our travel anxiety. It allowed us to feel more relaxed throughout our time here. It was my favorite interaction here in Rome. read more

Quick and easy, good pizza. Small place but still has a decent amount of seating. We went here at about 9:30PM on a Wednesday and it actually had a good amount of people but we were able to get in, grab a seat, and place our order pretty easily. You order at the counter when you're ready and it doesn't take long for your pizzas. We got the burrata crudo and pepperoni pizzas--they were both very good but the pepperoni was definitely better than the burrata. The burrata was simple--basically just cheese, sauce, olive oil, and dough with one piece of basil in the center. I wish it had more basil for sure. Overall good spot if you're looking for a quick meal. read more

This place is about 2 minutes from our airbnb. It's a very cute, small pizza joint. If you have kids and need to eat before noon, it's an excellent option. When we walked in, they gave us the English menu, asked us to grab a seat and come back up to order. Then they will call us when ready. We love the smaller pizzette option, perfect to try a few different flavors or for the kiddos. All the customers were American... but I don't see it as a tourist trap. The pepperoni pizza was really good. My favorite was broccoli rabe with sausage and a pate with onions. Service was fast and friendly. read more
