Mastro Donato Pizza Gourmet

Totally a hidden gem! The mushroom & sausage pizza is airy and light, highly recommend! The owner (or his son?) is so friendly and great to talk to, he even offered me and another guest to try a local food (the fried thingy with rice and mozzarella cheese!) - the hospitality totally made my day, don’t miss this place when you are in the area!

This was one of the most delicious experiences of my life. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to enjoy pizza in Rome. Thank you so much for the wonderful service!

One of the best pizza places I’ve tried in Rome! The ingredients are fresh and the flavours are absolutely authentic. Definitely worth eating here. Danilo was very kind and welcoming. It was our first meal in Rome and he even wrote down and recommended other must try places in the area.

We stopped in when first got to Rome as we wanted lunch and had read this was a bit of a hidden gem before you actually get to the main streets. The arancini was probably the best I've had in my life so far and the pizza slices were so so good. But! The potato pizza is absolutely incredible, the potatoes tasted like slow baked wood fire jackets and the cheese and little hints of rosemary were just incredible. I've had others and I'm sure I'll have more but this by far has to be one of the best potato pizzas in Italy.

The pizza was exceptionally good – especially the one with pumpkin and guanciale. The service was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better and makes me giving the full 5 stars. However, the prices seem a little high for such a place. Paying around €30 for two pizzas and a beer felt a bit too much, even considering the quality.

The place and its owner are the best. We stumbled upon the place on the first day. The pizzas are Roman style and absoutely fresh and delicious. On our request, the owner made vegetarian lasagna for us. He was very generous and kind. Its priced perfectly and away from the tourist traps. Highly recommended.

This little family-run restaurant is an absolute gem! From the very first bite, you can tell it’s real, authentic, top-quality food. I took my parents there, and they were absolutely delighted with the Roman-style pizza — perfectly baked, flavorful, and simply delicious. The owner is such a friendly and genuine person who made our visit even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a quick bite at a great price, and something truly fantastic to eat, you honestly couldn’t find a better place. Highly recommended!

We ended up having lunch here almost every day while we stayed in Rome. The host (often it's just the owner) is extremely friendly and the food is excellent and reasonably priced. Grab a seat (but be wary of the rickety chairs) if you're lucky, or order to go if it's full inside.

We went here because our airbnb was right around the corner and needed some time to kill before check-in. This place was by far the best pizza we had in Rome! We tried a couple of other places while in town and came back here again before we left. The dough was nice, crispy and flavorful and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. Overall excellent pizza! We also tried the Suppli, which is a fried ball of rice with mozeralla inside, definitelt get this! This family owned business is a must when visiting Rome!

We ate at this restaurant three times because it was the most delicious pizza and Italian food that we tasted in Rome. The hosting is even more wonderful. If you want great Italian food at a great price with amazing hosptality, come here. This is a hidden gem!!!
