Rome is getting ready to host an unmissable village dedicated to the art of Neapolitan pizza (and more), set up right on the banks of the Tiber. It will be four days filled with flavor, camaraderie, and music, enhanced by a Coca-Cola-sponsored entertainment area featuring games and a photo booth. Admission is free, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Packages for the public
To savor the masters’ creations, the event offers two packages:
- Pizza Village Menu (€18), a classic option available all day that includes a pizza of your choice (Margherita, Marinara, or the stand’s specialty) and a drink
- Social Combo (€26): designed for aperitifs and sharing (valid only between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM). It offers two pizzas already cut into slices (one Margherita and one specialty) accompanied by four Coca-Colas
Tickets will officially go on sale on August 25.
The Masters and Their Specialties
The event boasts an exceptional selection of pizzerias, each embodying a distinct culinary philosophy. In addition to the classics, each master will present a special pizza.
L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele (in business since 1870), world-renowned for its traditional “ruota di carro” style—thin and very wide—will feature the Mergellina, topped with provola cheese from Agerola, Piennolo cherry tomatoes, beer sausage, and crumbled tarallo.
Vincenzo Capuano is the quintessential face of “contemporary” pizza, famous for his extra-high crust, dough as light as a cloud, and his signature cut with scissors. His offering is the Provola e Pepe Contemporanea, topped with seasoned roasted tomatoes.
Al Solito Porzio, led by the dynamic Errico Porzio—a social media star and champion of authentic, generous pizza that’s accessible to everyone—will surprise the public with the “Sbagliata e Croccante,” a rich white crust topped with cacio e pepe cream, porchetta, provola, and baked potatoes.
Santini – Pizzeria Romana is on home turf, representing the Roman tradition and bringing a variety of textures to the village for those who love the Roman style. Their specialty will be the Super Crostino, with Parmesan cream, smoked and marinated prosciutto, provola cheese, and a mix of peppers.
Rossopomodoro is the renowned brand that promotes Neapolitan cuisine worldwide; at the village, it will feature the “Burratina,” enhanced with Cantabrian anchovy pesto and an almond tarallo. Santa Rita, on the other hand , will pay homage to the coast with the “Nerano” ( zucchini cream and chips, Provolone del Monaco), whileJessica De Vivo will celebrate simplicity with the “Baciata dal Vesuvio” (Provola cheese and semi-dried cherry tomatoes).
