Pizzeria del Secolo

My wife and I stopped in here after we died out some issues we had with our hotel. It was the first pizza we had in Italy. The pizza was fantastic and the guy at counter was great. He spoke Spanish and English. The prices were pretty good. After spending three days in Rome it was still one of the best pizzas we had.

During my stay in Rome I basically lived off this place pizza lol. There were definitely other pizzerias around but after going to a few, this one was the most pleasing to my palate. They had so many different pizzas to choose from. The crowd was a mixture of colleges and age folk and tourists. Chill place to get a quick bite and they stayed open late which I loved.

Having just arrived in Rome, after checking into my hostel, I knew my first meal had to be pizza. I asked the guy at the reception desk and he pointed me to this spot. Wowww — this is pizza. For € 3, I got a very nice sized square of pizza, which I believe is margherita. I decided to keep it simple for my first Roman pizza experience and I am very satisfied with that choice. The cheese is amazing and the spices are absolute perfection. Since my hostel is literally 3 seconds from here, I’ll be coming back during my 5-​day stint in Rome!
Here’s to great pizza!

A un tiro de piedra de Termini se encuentra este simpático «restaurante», que más que un restaurante es un lugar de paso donde recuperar el resuello sentado en una de sus pocas mesas y degustando un buen «pezzo di pizza».
Decorado de forma modesta, el local no es muy grande, apenas habrá 5 mesas y una barra en la que comer, aunque la luminosidad de la estancia y el colorido de las banderas alegra el ambiente.
Tal y como su nombre indica, lo que hay aquí para comer es pizza. Mucha pizza, de muchos tipos diferentes y con los ingredientes más variopintos. Ya verás al entrar por la puerta que el colorido y la pinta de las mismas te arrastra para dentro, y el sabor hace más que justicia a la apariencia. Como en casi todos los locales del estilo, el precio está ligado al peso, pero el precio de un trozo medio (como los de las fotos) suele rondar los 2 €, que para los ingredientes que tiene, y estando servido en caliente, no está nada mal. Me pedí una de patata con salsiccia y otra de verduras con salmón, y ambas estaban que «quitaban el sentío», al igual que las de mis compañeros.
Además, que siempre viene bien saberlo, el personal habla español.

Food (3 stars) — pizza was just okay. Did not thoroughly enjoy it. However, it is cool to see you can choose how big your pizza is. They have a square shape pizza that they cut and measure weight to give pricing. About 8 unique pizza you can choose from. Croquette with rice, tomato, and mozarella was good.
Service (N/​A) — fairly friendly staff
Environment (3 star) — around the corner pizzeria. Place seems pretty old and scrabby. Not the most pleasant or welcoming place to really dine in or out.
Quick to grab neighborhood pizzeria. Not the most mouth watering food. It was really cool to see a pizza place that price by weight, like frozen yogurt! The croquette was really good though =)

Man wird satt. Preislich ok. Nichts, wo ich jetzt nochmal hinmüßte. Unspektakuläre Pizzastücke nach Gewicht. Nicht sonderlich pfiffig, nicht übermäßig schmackhaft. War ok !

It was the perfect cheap pizza experience. It was packed with locals and people on their lunch break, but they were fast and even spoke English. I ordered my food and the biggest problem I had was where to eat it since there wasn’t space inside.

I am fairly certain this place made me sick. I really don’t want to go into detail, but I am guessing that the pizza had sat out too long and wasn’t good anymore… Maybe don’t try this place.

Dear Secolo
The place I call home is miles from Rome
Where pizza’s are round like the midnight moon
Hot out of the oven you took my breath
Promised me though you are square I will like your edge
Dear Secolo
You never cared that I walked with empty pockets
You have a wealth in flavors and your taste unlocks it
Cheeks like tomato, the heirloom red
Supple mozzarella, soft as a feather bed
Dear Secolo
Grazi for the love but I cannot stay
Please send my love to the caprese
I’ll always remember you during the midnight hours
where you touched my lips sprinkled in basil flowers

We were in Rome for 5 days and after trying several pizza restaurant this was our favorite. Never had to wait, it was cheap, and the taste was amazing!

Delicious snack just steps away from Termini! Worth the short walk. Affordable and delicious

Delicious pizza! It was fresh, soft and toasty at the same time. The guy who helped us was welcoming and friendly. He even made a few jokes and made us laugh. It was a pleasant and lovely experience we would definitely go back.

Great place. Super nice owner. Real pizza and good prices. You can’t go wrong. Get a custom pizza from the oven. Lots of different combos and cold beer.

Worth every Euro! Went by for takeout one night after a long day, very friendly, spoke english. Great tasting pizza, a little colder than normal since it was under a heater and was 30 min before closing. But so good! We tried 5 different ones, each was perfect! Would eat there again in a heartbeat. Thin dough (which I love) perfect amount of toppings. Paid $ 13 (it goes by weight).

Great prices, variety of pizza to choose from. They even had pasta. I think we ate here almost every night because we didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I think one night we decided to try someplace else to eat and ended up spending 70 Euros on dinner. On average we would spend about 20 – 30 Euros a night. My favorite pizza there was the Salmon. It’s not a far walk from the Termini train station. The guys that work there are very friendly and they all speak English.

I wanted a quick dinner near the Termini station, but not a place that was over-​run by tourists or overly expensive. Pizzeria del Secolo delivered! After surveying the wide selection of available pizzas, I ordered a slice of the potato pizza: thin-​cut potatoes seasoned with rosemary, garlic, and olive oil on a very thin and delicate crust! I also ordered a «suppli» — a little breaded ball filled with risotto and mozzarella cheese. And by the way, the «slices» of pizza are really 4 small slices so it’s actually difficult to even finish one slice. My entire meal was 4.50 euros. Win!
During my 30 min in the pizzeria, many locals came to get take-​out or eat in. A group of construction workers came in and ordered almost the entire restaurant :) It’s always a good sign if a place is filled with locals.
My one complaint is I wish the slices were smaller so I could have sampled more flavors. I’m sure I could have requested this, if only I knew Italian…

The wife and I are visiting Rome from USA. We find that at the pizza tastes good. The owner or manager was very friendly joking with us. We went on 20÷10÷14. Pizza was good and cheap 10 euros for 3 slices, wine, and water. We are definitely going back while we are here.

So good! I had just arrived to Rome and was staying in the area and wanted some good pizza. Unilocal brought me here. There were SO MANY OPTIONS. I personally loved the pizza with the fresh mushrooms. I tried a spicy kind of shrimp pizza as well. Everything just looked so good and I wish I had time to come back and try more. It’s a small place. Very NY Pizzeria feel. They weigh your pizza which I thought was an interesting concept. Definitely delicious and definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area! Affordable, too!

The pizza they sell by slice (priced by weight) is alright, although it didn’t look, or taste, very fresh. We also ordered a whole pizza, which was cheap, € 6. I ordered no anchovies and they decided to replace them with salami without asking if that was ok. Also they decided not to put olives on it and when I ordered the Capriciosa pizza, they did not inform me that they were out of eggs. Eventually, I got something completely different from what I ordered. The place is ok, but the customer service is bad.

Best deal in we found. Tried 8 different pizzas and all tasty. Service is good and beer is cold. Went back a second night it was so good. 4 stars because the seating area is less than stellar but there is no extra charge to sit down. No complaints about the food

Best pizza in Rome according to my girlfriend and I think I have to agree.
This is a place frequented by locals and you won’t find many tourists here, it’s a bit far from anything except the main train station.
The waiters behind the counter are super friendly and will explain what is what.
Also it’s super ridiculous cheap!
10 € gave us 1 coke and all the slices you see on the photo…
Good stuff!

So good, so cheap, hella worth it!
Friendly staff, great portions and so delicious, went there more than once.

UM die Ecke des Hotels Villa Franka liegt die Strassenpizzeria del Secolo!
Hier kann man schmackhafte Pizza nach Gewicht, für den kleinen Hunger zwischendurch, ordern!
