When asked what is the best pizza place in Rome, 9 out of 10 Romans would answer, “La Baffetto.” You always hear stories about the crazy Italian cooks who take their job so seriously. Well, this place would be no different. There is one man behind the counter.
He is responsible for every single pizza that is made. He rolls out the dough,he put on the sauce, the cheese, the toppings of your choice, and puts it in the brick oven. The past 3 times that I have been there, he has not been able to speak above a whisper because he has lost his voice from screaming at the waiters! Who doesn’t like a bit of entertainment while they eat?It opens at 6:30
pm, and if you are not there by 6:35, you are waiting on a line to be seated. I have seen the line up to 50 people deep. You know the pizza is worth it when people are willing to wait. If you are a party of two, they will sit you next to another party of twoat the same table in order to make more room. So far I have sat next to couples from Paris, Japan, and Ireland. My go-to pizza is Pizza con Peperoni (no, not the meat, in Italian that means green peppers). The pizzas range from 6-8 euros, what a deal!
