The story
Tucked away on a tiny alley in Torino that, according to creator Franchino Er Criminale, “feels like Trastevere,” Focacceria Sant’Agostino has carved out a reputation as a Roman-style pizza haven. The 4.5-star spot excels at pizza al taglio and even offers Roman round pizza rolled out with a rolling pin—a slice of paradise for a homesick Roman. Among the standout options are the classic Pizza Pomodoro e Mozzarella and a savory Pizza Tonno e Cipolla, both earning enthusiastic approval.
Not every visit has been glowing: in one review, the same creator called the food low quality and inauthentic, specifically criticizing the Focaccia Genovese and Pizza Wurstel. Yet in two other visits, he raved about the Pizza in Teglia al Ragù, Pizza ai Funghi Porcini, and the hand-rolled round pizza, giving the spot a 9+ rating. This split suggests a venue with genuine highs, making it a polarizing but essential stop for street-food enthusiasts in Torino.

“In honor of Giulia, since she discovered this place, a nice piece of tuna and onion. Beautiful spotted underneath, like a cheetah in slang. Tuna and onion is unbeatable — it's the pizza. My friend ate it all. Simple but good.”

Pizza Pomodoro e Mozzarella
I got a nice piece of tomato and mozzarella that was just coming out, so I waited 3 minutes. Perfect baking. Simple, popular toppings but good. The dough is the star here — you can feel it, it's really present. Good.
Pizza Tonno e Cipolla
In honor of Giulia, since she discovered this place, a nice piece of tuna and onion. Beautiful spotted underneath, like a cheetah in slang. Tuna and onion is unbeatable — it's the pizza. My friend ate it all. Simple but good.

Pizza in Teglia al Ragù
This pizza is excellent — perfect baking, soft dough, unique crunchiness. It's a really good product. I give it a 9, even 9+. Come and eat this!
Pizza ai Funghi Porcini
Well cooked, soft dough — listen to that sound! It's excellent. Perfect baking. This is real pizza.
Pizza Tonda Stesa a Mattarello
This round pizza rolled out with a rolling pin brings tears to my eyes. It feels like being a kid again in the evening. The atmosphere is like an old tavern with wooden tables. Amazing.

A disappointing focacceria in Turin, the food is low quality and not authentic.

Pizza Wurstel
This wurstel pizza looks like it came out of a 3D printer. The mozzarella on top is all crusted over, like a cheap pizza from under my house. I'm not even going to bother tasting it properly.
