Details
Lina - La Pizza in Teglia offers a truly authentic Roman pizza experience within the Prati/Circonvallazione Trionfale neighbourhood, established in 2022 by Chef Valerio Esse, drawing inspiration from cherished family memories of his grandmother Lina. This charming venue exudes a cosy, genuine, and unpretentious atmosphere, setting it apart as a calm spot where guests can comfortably sit and enjoy their meal without feeling hurried. The exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, some of whom speak fluent English, are often highlighted by visitors for their warm welcome and willingness to explain the menu in detail. With a selection of ingredients, some grown by the owner’s family, and inviting outdoor seating, it creates a unique and personal dining environment.
The restaurant specialises in delectable "pizza in teglia," a Roman style of pizza served by the slice, baked in sheet pans, and is celebrated for its wide array of innovative and unique flavours that extend beyond conventional offerings. Dishes frequently praised include a distinctive vegetarian option featuring sweet eggplant, piquant olives, and pickled red onion, alongside the "Nonna Lina" pizza ripiena with Cinta senese coppa and stracchino, and "Magic Potato Winter" which combines potatoes, stewed onions, taleggio, bagna cauda, and marjoram. The pizza boasts a light and crispy crust, crafted using high-quality, fresh, and often local ingredients. Furthermore, guests can indulge in tempting "fritti," such as carbonara fritters, alongside an impressive choice of sourdough loaves and various beers.
This inviting eatery is an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic and budget-friendly Italian pizza experience, particularly convenient if you are exploring areas near the Vatican. It caters well to both friends sharing a meal and solo diners, providing a relaxed setting for lunch or dinner. Reviewers consistently praise the outstanding customer service, making it an ideal destination for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere paired with delicious, high-quality pizza.

Grazie mille!
Excellent pizza “in pala/al teglia” with easy to read labels on each different type of pizza, not overcrowded with a quiet atmosphere so you can sit down and enjoy your pizza and not feel like you have to get out of the way
It’s also just 10 minutes walk from Bonchi’s Pizzarium so if Bonchi is busy, on top of Lina being a better experience in every way, it might also be quicker than waiting at Bonchi
Lovely owner who spoke fabulous English talked us through the ingredients….. some of which grown by his own family….. and tastes, pizza sizes and styles, prices , you name it!
Super happy. Treated amazingly well. Loved it!
I will be going back before I leave Rome, that’s for sure!!!!
