At SOFIA PIZZA NAPOLETANA, the emphasis is on traditional Neapolitan pizzas, lovingly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients that burst with flavor. Whether you’re craving the classic simplicity of a Margherita—with its perfectly blistered crust and fragrant basil—or the robust, savory notes of the Salsiccia e Friarielli, each pizza is a symphony of textures: a soft, airy dough with a delicate crunch around the edges, layered with vibrant tomato sauce and creamy mozzarella. For those seeking bold flavors, the Diavola delivers a spicy kick, while the 4 Formaggi delights with a luscious blend of cheeses melting in harmony.
Beyond pizza, the menu unfolds a treasure trove of Southern Italian favorites. Indulge in comforting Gnocchi alla Sorrentina or elegant Linguine alla Luciano.

This place is an absolute gem in the heart of Rome! we had the best Neapolitan pizza - perfectly baked, with incredible flavour and fresh ingredients. They have self-service, you order and pay first and then pick-up your order. The staff were so kind and helpful and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Perfect location, just one minute walk away from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. If you’re in Rome and love pizza, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Hands down the fluffiest, most flavour-packed pizza I’ve had on my whole trip through Italy! I’m vegan, so I usually go for the classic marinara—and wow, they took this simple dish and turned it into something extraordinary. Light, crispy, full of soul. Fantastico! Grazie mille, you truly made my day!

It's our second time coming here. A clean plate after a meal means super delicious food! If you like pizza with a super nice base, this is the place! We love Napoli because of the anchovies.

The food is amazing, I don’t recall what we ordered exactly, but oneof them was a classic and the other was recommended. However, the place is quite small and the tables are small enough and what shocked me is that I have to go pickup the pizza instead of a waiter service. Also, the prices mentioned on the door are for takeaway and it’s a bit misleading since we expected to pay less and ended up paying more, a good approach is to be more transparent and put both prices infront. Overall though, recommend the pizzas!!!

Excelent dough, crust was soft, crunchy, and with enough air, very difficult to achieve. Some of the ingredients could use a bit of seasoning, a bit bland. Very good service, nice people. Would go again

This is one of the best Pizzerias in Rome. I am a pizza nerd, I make Neapolitan pizza with my dove and I can never match the quality of this pizza. They use 100% hydration which makes really fluffy and soft crust, and tastes incredible. It is really hard to make this, and that’s why you won’t find this at many places. Pizzas are big (we got two for four people with some suppli.
