Fratelli Trecca

Just steps from the ancient ruins of Circo Massimo, Fratelli Trecca has quickly established itself as one of Rome’s most exciting pizza destinations. The Trecastelli brothers—already known for their success with Trecca—have channeled their expertise into creating pizza that’s impossible to resist: razor-thin crusts with just the right amount of crispness, finished with a kiss of olive oil that leaves your fingertips deliciously slick.

The menu strikes a perfect balance between tradition and creativity. You’ll find expertly executed classics like a parsley-laden marinara and a no-frills margherita that lets quality ingredients shine. But venture beyond the familiar and you’re rewarded with more adventurous options—think pizza topped with chicken innards or the intriguing combination of anchovy and chicory shoots. Each slice demonstrates the brothers’ commitment to pushing boundaries while respecting Roman pizza traditions.

The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, perfect for grabbing a quick lunch or lingering over a glass of natural wine as the afternoon unfolds. Whether you’re refueling after exploring the nearby ancient sites or simply seeking out some of the best affordable eats in the city, this is exactly the kind of neighborhood spot that makes Rome such a joy for food lovers.

For anyone seeking authentic Roman pizza without the tourist-trap prices, Fratelli Trecca delivers on every front. Keep it simple with the classics or let your curiosity guide you toward the more unconventional offerings—either way, you’re in excellent hands with the Trecastelli brothers.
