Baked fresh throughout the day, this pizza bianca is a light, oil-rich dough that's crispy outside and tender inside. Dressed minimally with salt and olive oil to showcase the dough quality. Reviews consistently praise this as classic Roman pizza bianca done correctly.
Tips from diners
Buy a slice and eat it standing up while watching the market. It's the quintessential Roman experience.
The dough is the same as pizza bianca but topped with tomato sauce. The sauce is restrained and slightly acidic. Baked until the edges are crispy. This is everyday Roman street food, not fancy but honest and satisfying.
Tips from diners
Get the pizza rossa if you want to taste what Roman workers eat for lunch. Simple, filling, cheap.
Whole loaves of bread are baked throughout the day in the traditional Tuscan style. The loaves are large, crusty outside, and have an open crumb. The lack of salt is traditional — paired with salty foods. This bread is sold by weight if you want a portion.
Tips from diners
Buy a slice or quarter loaf and use it to make a sandwich with market ingredients. Better than buying a pre-made sandwich.
Fresh focaccia is split and filled with quality mortadella sourced from the Campo market. The bread is soft and slightly oily from the focaccia dough. The mortadella is cold and slightly salty. A quintessential quick lunch that tastes different because of the fresh bread.
Tips from diners
Buy this and eat at one of the tables in the market square. Perfect pairing with the energy of Campo de' Fiori.
The bakery sources vegetables from the market vendors outside. In season, you might get roasted zucchini, grilled eggplant, bell peppers, or tomatoes. The combination changes daily based on market availability. The focaccia's richness balances the light vegetables.
Tips from diners
Ask what vegetables are in season that day. Spring and summer have the best variety.
