Forno Campo De' Fiori

Tucked behind the colorful flower vendors of Rome’s famous Campo de’ Fiori market sits a bakery that locals and visitors alike consider essential. Forno Campo De’ Fiori has been turning out some of the city’s finest pizza al taglio for generations, offering a welcome alternative when you’ve had your fill of sweet morning pastries and want something savory to start your day.

The offerings here are simple but executed with precision. Their pizza rossa arrives with an impossibly crispy crust, covered in a thin slick of tomato and dotted with golden pools of quality olive oil. The pizza bianca options are equally compelling, whether you choose the version topped with paper-thin potato slices or the more adventurous combination of salty anchovies and delicate zucchini flowers. Each slice demonstrates the kind of craftsmanship that comes from decades of practice.

This is grab-and-go eating at its Roman best. There’s no seating inside, which is actually part of the charm. Take your warm slice and find a spot to lean against one of the nearby fountains, soaking in views of the Michelangelo-designed palazzo in the adjacent piazza. It’s the kind of spontaneous dining experience that makes wandering through Rome so magical.

For anyone seeking authentic Roman street food without breaking the bank, this bakery delivers exactly what you need. It’s perfect for a quick lunch break between sightseeing, or as a satisfying snack when hunger strikes during your market wanderings. Just follow the locals—they know the good stuff.
