Panificio Bonci

The Best Pizza in Rome

"You'll find a mix of super-traditional Roman fare at Panificio Bonci, as well as creative items made with stone milled heirloom wheats. The star of the show, however, is the pizza bianca, Rome's signature flatbread, which is served in pieces or sliced open for sandwiches. The pizza con mortadella (or mortadella sandwich) is a perfect, savory bite and is always available, while the pizza con porchetta (or roasted pork sandwich) is an occasional daily special worthy of a Trans-Atlantic flight in its own right." - Maresa Manara, Katie Parla

The 20 Best Pizzerias in Rome

"A ten-minute walk from Gabriele Bonci’s landmark pizza al taglio shop, Pizzarium, this 10-year-old bakery serves pizzas in various forms alongside spectacular breads and pastries. Their alla pala style is joined by pizzette (small pizzas) made either from puff pastry (a perfect savory aperitivo snack) or leavened dough disks. The real standouts are the sandwiches filled with glorious mortadella or house-made porchetta between fragrant slices of spongy pizza bianca." - Katie Parla

"Legendary pizzaiolo Gabriele Bonci's first bread bakery Panificio Bonci, which opened in November 2012, is legendary baker Gabriele Bonci’s bread bakery. Located in the Trionfale district—not far from Bonci’s famous pizza-by-the-slice joint, Pizzarium—the bakery sells loaves, sandwiches, and a handful of pasta varieties. There is also pizza by the slice (though a more conventional variety than you will find at Pizzarium) and pastries. Perhaps the greatest menu item, however, is pizza con la porchetta, a flatbread sandwich filled with slices of moist roasted pork and its crispy skin."
