If you’re hunting for the best Margherita pizza in Rome, Piccolo Buco is the spot that absolutely lives up to the hype. Tucked right next to the Trevi Fountain, this tiny trattoria feels like one of those places you find by accident but remember forever.
What makes their pizza special is the crust — crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and fired to perfection in their wood-burning oven. The Margherita is super simple, but that’s exactly why it’s elite. Fresh basil, rich tomato sauce, and creamy mozzarella that melts perfectly over every slice. No extras needed.
The vibe inside is cozy and loud in the best way. You can literally hear the crackle from the oven while you eat. Whether you’re stopping by after exploring the city or making it the main event of your night, it’s the kind of meal that makes you say “okay… this is why people talk about Italian pizza.”
If you’re ever in Rome, Piccolo Buco is a must-hit — and honestly, probably the best Margherita we’ve had so far in Europe.
