Seu's signature style: dough fermented slowly becomes light and crispy when baked at high heat. The crust is thin enough to eat with your hands but strong enough to hold the toppings. San Marzano tomato, fior di latte mozzarella, fresh basil, and good olive oil are the only players. This is what Roman pizza should be—nothing added to convince you of its worth.
Tips from diners
This is the baseline for judging any Roman pizzeria. If this is done right, you don't need anything else—order just this and a drink.
Potatoes are boiled, mashed, and formed into logs, then breaded and fried until the outside shatters and the inside remains creamy. A simple side or starter that shows Seu's attention extends to items that might be overlooked. No filling, no tricks—just perfect execution of a childhood Roman street snack.
Tips from diners
Order these with your pizza to taste the contrast—hot, crispy exterior against the warm, creamy center. They're addictive.
Supplì—the Roman fried rice ball—is made here with savory tomato and basil risotto, mozzarella, and ragù. The breading is double-fried until shattering crispy and dry, not oily. Each supplier arrives hot and ready to tear open and taste the ragù inside. These are better than most standalone supplì restaurants—a sign of how seriously Seu takes every component.
Tips from diners
Order two or three—they're small and you'll want to try different varieties if available. These are best eaten immediately while the inside is still warm.
A seasonal variant that celebrates the tomato itself. Fior di latte mozzarella melts into warm spots while cherry tomatoes from Pachino (a Sicilian variety known for sweetness) keep their shape and burst with juice. The crust receives these toppings as a complement, not as an afterthought. Simple but requires perfect ingredients to work.
Tips from diners
Ask if Pachino tomatoes are in season when you visit—if not, ask what other regional tomato they're using instead. The kitchen respects seasonality.
For those who want heat: soppressata—spicy cured pork from Southern Italy—is distributed across the pizza so each bite has the cured meat's peppery kick. The fat from the soppressata melts into the mozzarella, creating richness that balances the spice. The crust doesn't suffer—it's still crispy and light, not weighed down by toppings.
Tips from diners
If you don't like soppressata, ask if they can substitute with any other cured meats available—the kitchen is flexible with special requests.
Tac opened in January 2024 as Pier Daniele Seu's second pizzeria venture, following his acclaimed Seu. Located in the peripheral Mostacciano neighborhood, the restaurant champions thin, crispy Roman-style pizza with well-calibrated dough that's easy to digest. The space, designed by architect Valerio Scaccia, balances casual informality with sophistication through colorful details and dark tones. Within months of opening, Tac earned 3 forks in Gambero Rosso and ranked 83rd in the 50 Top Pizza Italia guide.
No reservations—first come, first served. Arrive early for lunch (before noon) or dinner (before 7pm) to avoid waits. Weeknights are quieter than weekends.
Mostacciano is not central Rome, but that's part of the appeal. The neighborhood is genuine, with real Romans eating here, not tourists. Taking a taxi or metro saves time from the historic center.
Prices are fair for the quality. A pizza and a drink costs around €15-18. Add a supplì and crocchè for snacks without breaking budget.
