About this experience
Discover Rome on this flavorful walking tour through the Prati district, just steps from the Vatican. The Roman Pizza Tour takes you to experience authentic local pizza in all its delicious forms.
Your journey begins at Santa Maria delle Grazie al Trionfale, a peaceful neighborhood church that sets the tone for this off-the-beaten-path adventure. Explore the bustling Mercato Trionfale, where locals shop daily for fresh ingredients and hot, oven-baked slices. As you walk through Piazza Risorgimento, Via Cola di Rienzo, and the colorful Mercato dell'Unità, your expert guide will share the story of Roman pizza from its humble roots to modernity. You’ll sample a variety of pizza styles, each paired with classic Italian soft drinks like Chinotto, Cedrata, and Crodino. Available as both a small group experience and a private tour, this is the perfect way to taste Rome like a true local.
Please note that the Trionfale Market is closed in the afternoon, so there will be an alternative stop.
