Seu Pizza Illuminati

Trastevere & Gianicolo

LoginSave

'In pizza we trust' is the cheeky motto of this Trastevere pizzeria helmed by Pier Daniele Seu. Inspired combos range from burrata, tuna tartare, pistachio and lime zest to guanciale (cured pig's cheek), pecorino cream, red onion and coffee. A selection of classics like the margherita keep purists happy. Expect an unapologetically thick Neapolitan crust.
