    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!

    Everyone needs a trip to Italy, if nothing more than to enjoy all of the food…read more When you've landed, you're hungry, and it's not lunch time, and it's not dinner time, you may end up, selling for whatever you can find is open We were absolutely starving, and wanting to indulge in our first Italian meal, what do you do when you're in Italy?! You may want to indulge in pasta or pizza! We walked in, and we were immediately seated. Air conditioning is nonexistent, and on a hot summer day, it would've been cooler to dine outside. had that been an option, and it was 95° out. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately told that Pizza and some of their baked Italian dishes were not going to be available. Boo. The wait staff seemed fairly nice, and offered to bring us glasses of water. The glasses were super tiny, and thankfully the waitress brought over a carafe of water. We asked for a few suggestions, since both of us had been craving pizza, and she suggested the Carbonara. She said it was one of the best dishes. While we were waiting for our food, several other tables were immediately filled up with other customers, families and friends alike. It was interesting that those tables were served pizza... I'll just leave it at that. The carbonara Was anything less than delicious. We both found the pasta to be barely cooked. Not al dente, but barely cooked. The seasoning was mediocre, and there was very little pork, which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish, in this dish. Diners tip: if you are not a local, keep in mind that your version of Customer Service may or may not fit what Customer Service is in Rome. Despite being hungry, I had a hard time, finishing the food, let alone actually eating it. The waitress only came over at the end to drop off the check, and when she noticed that I had barely eaten anything, first gave me a strange look, and then asked about it. It was definitely one of those situations where saying something was wrong would've been met with unwanted attention. This is in a place to add to your must try list... There are plenty of other places, even in and around this area that more than likely would be a better choice.

    Bufala pizza with red sauce and lasagna was excellent. Seating was fast and good serviceread more
