Mercurio In Pomezia

Don't call it gourmet pizza, it's a pizza that includes refined and studied ingredients that enhance the flavors of what you order. The supplì are amazing, they make you wonder how it's possible that they have that flavor. There are no industrial ingredients in the dishes and the drinks are all artisanal, except for some bitters. The service is friendly and attentive. The place is not very big, I suggest booking. If you have small 4-legged friends who love them more than you, the owner makes and packages biscuits for them. The prices, rightly above average, can only be discussed after having had an experience in this place. I recommend it and will definitely go back.

Intrigued by the many reviews praising the possibility of tasting a real DOC “Roman pizza”, I decided to try, together with my family, this place that was still unknown to me, despite it having been open for many years. Upon arrival, we were positively impressed by the convenience of the large adjacent parking lot. Upon entering, we were surprised by the refined and unconventional decor for a pizzeria: an elegant environment, embellished with spectacular chandeliers and pleasant background music. We were welcomed with courtesy by Luca, attentive and thoughtful, and later we met Marco, the owner and master pizza chef. With great passion he told us about his commitment to choosing the ingredients and taking care of the dough, revealing an authentic dedication to the profession. After consulting a menu full of original proposals, we started with a delicious tasting of bruschetta: two with confit datterino tomatoes and crystallized basil, and one with Montoro onions, confit datterino tomatoes, basil, seven peppers and pistachios. Intense and well-balanced flavors. While waiting for the pizzas — a Margherita, a Re Italo and a Puttanesca — all extraordinarily crunchy and thin, as per authentic Roman tradition, we were offered a refined amuse-bouche, a gesture of great attention and courtesy towards the guests. We accompanied the meal with a Scarlet beer with cornel cherries, an excellent choice among the many artisanal labels offered by Alessia, who carefully selects excellent breweries such as Ofelia, Luppolaio Farmhouse Brewery and 32 Via dei Birrai. To finish on a sweet note, a spectacular “Ciuri Ciuri” cannolo filled with almond ricotta, dark chocolate, pistachios and candied orange peel: a true triumph of flavours. The bill, it is true, is not that of a traditional pizzeria, but here we are talking about something completely different: excellent quality, creativity and authentic culinary passion. Really well done. I can only enthusiastically recommend this tasty experience.

Incuriosito dalle numerose recensioni che elogiavano la possibilità di gustare una vera “pizza romana” DOC, ho deciso di provare, insieme alla mia famiglia, questo locale a me ancora sconosciuto, nonostante sia attivo da molti anni. Già all’arrivo siamo stati colpiti positivamente dalla comodità del grande parcheggio adiacente. Entrando, ci ha sorpreso l’arredamento ricercato e fuori dagli schemi per una pizzeria: un ambiente elegante, impreziosito da scenografici lampadari e da una piacevole musica di sottofondo. Siamo stati accolti con cortesia da Luca, attento e premuroso, e successivamente abbiamo conosciuto Marco, il proprietario e maestro pizzaiolo. Con grande passione ci ha raccontato il suo impegno nella scelta degli ingredienti e nella cura dell’impasto, rivelando un’autentica dedizione al mestiere. Dopo aver consultato un menu ricco di proposte originali, abbiamo iniziato con un delizioso assaggio di bruschette: due con datterino confit e basilico cristallizzato, e una con cipolle di Montoro, datterino confit, basilico, sette pepi e pistacchi. Gusti intensi e ben equilibrati. Durante l’attesa delle pizze — una Margherita, una Re Italo e una Puttanesca — tutte straordinariamente croccanti e sottili, come da autentica tradizione romana, ci è stato offerto un raffinato amuse-bouche, gesto di grande attenzione e cortesia verso gli ospiti. Abbiamo accompagnato il pasto con una birra Scarlet alle corniole, ottima scelta tra le molte etichette artigianali proposte da Alessia, che seleziona con cura birrifici d’eccellenza come Ofelia, Luppolaio Farmhouse Brewery e 32 Via dei Birrai. Per concludere in dolcezza, uno spettacolare cannolo “Ciuri Ciuri” con ripieno di ricotta di mandorle, cioccolato fondente, pistacchi e scorza d’arancia candita: un vero trionfo di sapori. Il conto, è vero, non è quello di una pizzeria tradizionale, ma qui si parla di ben altro: qualità eccelsa, creatività e autentica passione culinaria. Bravi davvero. Non posso che consigliare con entusiasmo questa gustosa esperienza.

Irresistible pampering for the palate! The caprese presents an elegant and harmonious composition: the confit cherry tomatoes, cooked at low temperature, express a concentrated and natural sweetness that dialogues with the freshness of the crystallized basil, to complete the dish, the high quality stracciatella, soft and milky, which gives roundness and creaminess to the bite. The result is a pizza that is visually refined and balanced in flavor. Cacio e pepe relies on one of the most iconic combinations of Roman cuisine, interpreted here with extreme precision. The dough, the result of a long leavening, is extremely digestible. Crispy base, an ideal structure that supports the condiments without compromising their lightness. Two good pizzas to eat and look at.

The kitchen closes at 10. There were pastry treats. The environment and ambience was nice. The flavors were classic.

The atmosphere is very nice, we ate pizza and tiramisu and drank coffee, it was delicious. They offered us something similar to our bagel :) The toilet was also very clean. The owners are friendly people, the employee at the counter speaks poor English, but we got along. We are satisfied.

Superb pizza, really nice place and wonderful staff. We were with two small children and everyone was very kind, we will definitely return.

A well-kept and intimate place, with really good, quality Roman pizza, which more than makes up for the slightly high price. Super recommended.

Beautiful place, attention to detail and clean, fresh and appetizing menu, crazy dishes, we will be back very soon.

Con la mia compagna abbiamo scoperto per caso questa pizzeria ed è già la seconda volta che ordiniamo d'asporto. Pizze deliziose, particolari, leggere e veramente buone. Anche i fritti sono TOP. Posso dire che tra tutte le pizzerie che ho provato a Pomezia, e vi assicuro ne ho provate tante, Mercurio, a mio avviso, è la migliore. Complimenti per la qualità, che giustamente si paga, e prossimamente verremo a mangiare in loco
