The story
Just steps from St. Peter’s Basilica, Casa del Pane is a Roman bakery-cum-pizzeria that has earned a loyal following for its dough-driven menu. The hearty Ciappattone Romano and pizza in pala topped with mozzarella or bagnetto verde are reliable standouts, making it a quick, high-quality lunch or snack stop.
That reputation is backed by serious local acclaim. Franchino Er Criminale gave the bakery an 8.5 overall, calling the red pizza in teglia “unforgettable” and declaring the pizzette among the city’s best. Creator xMurry similarly praised both the “exceptional” little red pizzas and a “very crunchy” marinara. The sweets may be average, but the savory side makes this a quintessential, neighborhood-worthy stop.

Reviewers rave about Casa del Pane’s Pangocciole, calling it a must-try, while the overall vibe is warm, rustic comfort that feels like an Italian home kitchen.
“This is like a pizza dough bread with chocolate chips. It looks a bit underbaked — you can see it's a bit damp. It's very sweet, with chocolate. The chocolate might have released moisture. It reminds me of a snack from childhood, like the first pangoccioli. It's not at the level of the pizza rossa or the pizzette.”

A fantastic bakery-pizzeria in Rome, especially for the red pizza in teglia and the red pizzette, which are among the best in the city. The savoury items are consistently good (8-8.5/10), while the desserts are weaker. Overall an 8.5/10 venue, worth a trip.

Pizza in Pala con Mozzarella
This is the pizza in pala from the oven, classic leopard-spotted bottom. It's a bit cold — you should eat it warm. It's good, but again too much flour underneath. The mozzarella one honestly didn't blow me away.
Pizza in Pala con Bagnetto Verde
This one is amazing. It's better eaten almost cold — it stays crunchy. The edge is a bit burnt, but good. The acidity of the green sauce is well-balanced. It reminds me a bit of Clementina's pizza in Fiumicino, which stays straight and crunchy.
- Pizza con Patate
Casa del Pane is a bakery with great pizza. The marinara is very crunchy and the little red pizzas are exceptional. A true neighborhood find.

Pizza Marinara
This marinara is very crunchy even without being heated. The tomato is spread on top, almost like a concentrate. I like it. The dough is completely different from the first ones — it's even lower and crunchier, friable but less melty. The bite is more persistent. You can really taste the fresh parsley.
Pizzette Rosse
These little red pizzas are wow. They're exceptional. I think they could be my favorite of the day. They're amazing.
