Creative Roman-style pinsa and Roman primi in a cozy Art Deco space with warm service; moderate prices for quality ingredients, but occasional service hiccups and some noise.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
La Pizzeria di Novecento delivers exceptional Roman pinsa with crisp, airy texture and careful ingredient sourcing, paired with warm, attentive service from engaged owners that creates genuine hospitality. The thoughtful Art Deco design enhances charm, though tight seating and occasional acoustics challenges limit the overall experience from reaching grade A territory. Solid neighborhood favorite with loyal following.
Restaurant Summary
A neighborhood spot with a 1900s mood, La Pizzeria di Novecento feels warm and welcoming rather than touristy. Guests highlight cheerful, attentive service and a room that glows with Art Deco touches, though a few note echoing acoustics. One diner summed it up: "the crust was airy and crisp, and they made us feel at home." The cooking leans Roman and ingredient-first: light, crispy pinsa with premium toppings, plus faithful carbonara, amatriciana, and cacio e pepe. It is elevated traditional, not showy; you come for good dough, careful sourcing, and desserts like the house cheesecake that keep regulars returning. Families should be comfortable here. Kids can happily share a Margherita or Marinara and simple pastas, but there is no specific kids menu. Portions are sensible rather than huge, and the cozy room can get lively on busy nights.
