Best Pizza in Rome: 5 Places That Are Good and Cheap

There are plenty of places serving pizza in Rome. Some far better than others. Our advice: steer clear of the street stands strategically parked next to the most important sights to see in Rome. They tend to be expensive and the pizza is bad.

Follow these tips if you're on a tight budget but don't want to leave Rome without trying a genuine Roman pizza.

Pizzeria Loffredo

A simple, family-run spot with delicious, cheap, authentic Italian pizzas. The service is warm and attentive. It's a great place to eat on a small budget without falling into the awful tourist traps that abound in a city like Rome.

It's a little way out from the historic center, but the Numidio Quadrato metro station is close by.

Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30-23:00.

Pinsere

At Pinsere you can also eat delicious pizza for just a few euros. For less than you'd spend somewhere mediocre, you get pizzas that have won awards as the best in Rome. They open at 9am, in case you fancy pizza for breakfast… you're in Rome, so why not?
