The story
Tucked away on Via Sante di Cola in Rome, SPQR is a historic old-school Roman pizza al taglio spot that earned a perfect 5-star rating from the community. Creator Franchino Er Criminale, in his *Pizza a taglio criminale IL RITORNO* review, gave the place an 8.5 out of 10, calling it a classic of the genre. He praised the Margherita as perfect, though noted that the stuffed versions had a slightly elastic dough.
Among the standout dishes, alongside that flawless Margherita, are the Pizza Ripiena con Salsiccia e Mozzarella and the Pizza Ripiena con Broccoletti e Provola. Franchino’s only quibble was the dough’s texture on those stuffed slices, but the overall verdict is clear: SPQR remains a beloved local spot for traditional, street-friendly pizza in Rome.

Pizza Margherita
The Margherita has an old-school dough, really low and crunchy, friable. It's like a lasagna sheet, very good. The baking is perfect.
Pizza Ripiena con Salsiccia e Mozzarella
The stuffed pizza with sausage and mozzarella is good, the filling is amazing, but the dough gets a bit elastic and spongy when it cools down. Still, an 8.5.
Pizza Ripiena con Broccoletti e Provola
The one with broccoli and provola is great, the broccoli really punches through. It reminds me of the Montecucco episode. The dough is a bit elastic but the filling is incredible. 8.5.
