    I wanted to try Roman pinsa to see how it differed from traditional pizza, and we found this spot nearby while waiting in line for the Vatican. The inside is small and they have one row of counter seats. We ordered a variety of pinsas so we could try some different options. They're served cut in 4 slices, and the portion is perfect if not a bit too much for one person. We tried the eggplant, salami, proscuitto, special, and bacon onion ones - amongst all of them, my favorites were the special and bacon onion. The pinsa itself was interesting as the crust had an airier but kind of dry texture, with a more crumbly crust. I think I still prefer traditional pizza, but this was worth trying! The man working behind the counter was also super friendly.

    "Street" carbonara and "street" amatriciana - both delicious!

    Food prices, service, and flavor were all too notch! 10/10 reccomend this hole in the wall shop for some quick and fresh pizza!

    Pizza was bomb! Until we were told by the chef to move to the corner.

    Pizza was bomb! Until we were told by the chef to move to the corner. "Why?"We asked ourselves. "Were we taking up too much space?" No. As minorities, we weren't the type of customers the chef wanted in his establishment. Not a nice feeling.

    Great spot to eat some street pizza if you're near the Vatican! The worker was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating for our large party of 7. They have a wide variety of pizzas to choose from, and it is fast, hot and fresh once you order. All the pizzas we got were fantastic, and they left us full and satisfied, not bloated or heavy. Definitely recommend and would eat here again!

    Pizzas are a good size.

    This pizza is awesome! It is family-owned and it actually has A/C inside. The pizza's were out quick and were delicious. My son ordered the Amatriciana and I ordered the Diavola. Both were excellent. Clise to the vatican as well. Definitely recommend!

    Freshly made and delicious pizza. The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. I loved the perfectly chewy and crispy crust and the delicious tomato sauce they used. They have vegan and vegetarian options as well!

    4.5 stars The Pinsa Romana is a Roman-style flatbread made of a dough containing rice and soy flours fermented between 48 to 72 hours. This creates a "pizza" that's light, thin, crispy, and known for being easily digested. The casual neighborhood restaurant Pinsa 'Mpo offered both a red (Rosse) and white (Bianche) version (with and without tomato sauce, respectively), and we got to try one of both. The Arrabbiata came with a simple topping of tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and red chili flakes, which gave the Pinsa a nice spicy flavor. The Zucca & Porcini came with slices of zucchini, chopped porcini mushrooms, Buffalo mozzarella, and parsley. The toppings on this Pinsa were simple as well, but the earthy, delicate flavors of the zucchini and porcini mushrooms really came out, pairing nicely with the creamy melted mozzarella cheese. Overall, Pinsa 'Mpo was a great stop to try this Roman snack, and the service was super friendly and enthusiastic too!

    Options!

    Super friendly service and delicious pizza after a day of shoulder to shoulder touring. A couple tables to eat outside and a short, convenient walk from the Vatican. The crust is crispy and topping combinations tasty / recommend stopping by for lunch!

    Salami and cheese the salami had the perfect amount of spice.

    Best pizza we have found so far in Rome!! Perfect lunch after our tour of the Vatican

    Located just steps away from the Vatican City, this place is a tiny little spot that offered satisfying food at good prices AND offered friendly service to boot! When you first walk in you see a couple of dozen different personal size pizzas prepped with different combo toppings under a large glass protected area. You simply pick the ones you want and they scoop it up with the peel and cook it in the oven for you in just a few minutes! Nice, thick, and doughy crust with plenty of toppings. I had sausage, pepperoni, and ham on mine. Very hot, fresh, and tasty! Plenty of options for drinks including bottled water, soda, and beer. Prices are a little high on the drinks, but that seems to be the norm in these places out here. Two things that stood out about this place when comparing it to other places I ate at during my time in Rome: a) the food was scrumptious and the portion was satisfying and here's the big one... b) they were nice! Yup, actually friendly and personable! Go figure! :P I just wish this place was closer to our hotel. We would have definitely come back for more! 4 stars.

    Delicious pepperoni pizza!

    This was a pretty good spot. Seating is limited, but they have a couple of tables right outside the door. If you are in the area, it was our favorite quick pizza spot. Service was great and we hit this spot several times while in this part of Rome!

This time we nearly had it every day, and for 8€ a bowl you can't blame me. Must try is the pappardelle ragu, portions are enough to share for two.

    This is a review based on getting my pasta to go…read more This was my first meal when I landed in Rome, so my travel group was hungry and very excited for our first Italian/Roman meal. Therefore, we ordered one of everything Hey, why not? Right?! It was definitely fresh pasta because you see them making the pasta from flour to all the different types of pasta shapes. And fresh pasta tends to stick together when cooled down. Here is the ranking of how I liked their pastas. They were all good but this is based on my flavor preference and how good everything was after bringing it back to the Airbnb. 6. Strozzapreti al pesto 5. Spaghetti Cacio e pepe 4. Fusilli al pomodoro 3. Strozzapreti al tartufo 2. Pappardelle al Ragu 1. Spaghetti alla Carbonara I think my ranking might have changed drastically if I ate everything on the spot. As you can tell by now, my recommendation is to eat it there as soon as you get your order. ¨ It was really good for being "take-out" style. Def worth stopping by for guaranteed yummy fresh pasta. So, if you have stomach space and are contemplating, yes, go! Worth the virality and hype. But I wouldn't suggest eating here every day. You're in Rome, explore! Try to find another yummy spot! ¨ Things to know: -Like most of Rome, they accept cards. -When you order, if are you getting it go, let them know so that they can pack it for you. -After you order, they give you a pager so you know when your order is ready. -If you order to go (I would suggest not if you can eat it there fresh) and if you have a bit of a walk, I would not suggest holding the bag by the handle cuz the steam of the food made our bags rip slowly. I'm glad we realized this because we would've been sad if all our pasta landed on the floor. And the covers do get warped by the steam, so everything shifts around. So, don't be like me - swinging the bag happily. Be more mindful. -Wait time can vary. Mine wasn't too bad cuz there weren't a lot of people. -The only problem with eating there is that there is no seating. So, I wouldn't have been able to get every single pasta dish to try. Pros and cons of eating it fresh and hot vs eating comfortably in AC.
