The Rome IndexPizza al taglio & street food
Rome's fast, cheap, and genuinely excellent street food scene.
Pizza al taglio
Rectangular, thick-crust pizza sold by weight and reheated to order — a Roman staple, distinct from the thin, round Neapolitan style, and ideal for a fast lunch between sights.
Supplì
Fried rice croquettes with a molten mozzarella center, sold at pizzerias and fry shops across the city — a good, inexpensive snack while walking.
Where to look
Testaccio and the streets around Campo de' Fiori both have reliable, no-frills spots — avoid anywhere with a menu translated into six languages posted outside.
