Da Paolillo In Civitavecchia

This pizzeria is particular: it belongs to a category known in Civitavecchia as "ghetto style" (name derived from the first pizzeria of its kind, which is located in the Civitavecchia ghetto and bears its name) due to the way of making and serving pizza : little selection (in fact there isn't even a menu), by weight, and served on paper without plates or cutlery, therefore strictly with your hands. For the occasion you will be provided with numerous napkins. If this isn't a problem for you, you will find yourself in a nice, welcoming and quite classic place, but it would be ideal to book in advance and specify whether inside or outside, otherwise you risk that the only table available is one so narrow that you won't be able to sit at one. in front of each other. As for the pizza, as mentioned you will have little choice available, and you order by weight. However, that little selection is put to good use. As they say, quality over quantity. Although due to personal preference I prefer other types of pizza, Paolillo is still something not to be ignored, especially the slightly acidic taste of the mozzarella he uses for the margherita, very pleasant and appetizing. Tomato is used in large quantities in red pizza, and the dough is a little thick. The only criticism I feel like making is the almost always burnt and narrow edges. So, if you like them, unfortunately it is very likely that you will have to discard them. A fundamental warning: freshly made pizza, especially if with tomato or Nutella, is HOT and you risk causing second degree burns on the palate. No, I'm not exaggerating. So be patient and wait for it to cool down a bit or, if you are really impatient, blow and/or use a mini-fan if you have one. Basically this pizzeria is a bit of an acquired taste. Not my favorite even though I'm quite happy to go back, but it could be yours. The only way to find out is to try at least once.

We ate the best pizza in our lives! Delicious!

A guarantee, pizza always excellent and excellent even the next day

I go there often and highly recommend it. Few flavors but very good, and unique way of preparation. Definitely come by...

Civitavecchiese pizza and margherita at the top

Pizza Top very good and light at the same time.....

Good pizza well seasoned especially the marinara. Too greasy underneath. prices in line with famous competitors in the area

One of the best pizzas in Civitavecchia. The marinara is simply unique.. very good, absolutely worth trying

Ormai da vari anni torniamo in questo posto che a prezzi veramente onestissimi offre una delle migliori pizze al kg che abbia mai provato. Location bruttina ma a chi importa! La marinara e la napoli sono spietate. Consigliato

I know it may seem exaggerated but I have never eaten such a good pizza, or rather the way I like it: well cooked on the bottom, soft on the top and well seasoned. Very digestible and economical.
