Span

Nestled in the heart of Rome at Largo della Fontanella di Borghese, Span is a pizzeria that walks the line between understated and acclaimed. With a modest 3.5-star rating, it doesn’t scream for attention — but one vocal fan has changed its profile entirely.

In a ReTubeIt review, chef Agostino Iacobucci (of Ristorante Iacobucci) declared, “Span is the best pizzeria, very good, very good, very good.” That triple emphasis, from a fellow chef with Emilia-Romagna roots, carries weight. While the menu isn’t detailed here, the endorsement suggests a pizza that punches far above its star count. For now, Span’s reputation rests on that single, effusive vote of confidence.
