The Roman stop of the great Neapolitan pizza village on the Lungotevere
After conquering Naples, Milan, and the international stages of Berlin and London, the Pizza Village lands in the Capital for the first time. From September 3rd to 6th, 2026, the global format dedicated to the world's most famous Italian product brings its village of taste to Rome, nestled within the framework of the historic summer event Lungo il Tevere Roma. It is the Roman debut of an event that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, with the ambition of showcasing Neapolitan pizza as a symbol of Italian culture and hospitality.
The choice of location is no coincidence: the village stretches along one of the most evocative sections of the river, in the Castel Sant'Angelo area, with the bulk of the castle and the dome of St. Peter's as a backdrop. Strolling through the stands set up on the banks of the Tiber, the public can taste creations from the best pizzerias, from the classic Margherita to gourmet interpretations, in a journey that combines craftsmanship, entertainment, and conviviality in the heart of Rome.
The heart of the event remains the pizza: dozens of pizzerias, including historic names and new masters of the white art, offer their specialties at the stands. Alongside the tastings, Casa Caputo hosts amateur masterclasses designed for adults who want to discover the secrets of dough, while workshops and activities for all ages engage families and children. There is no shortage of informative meetings and storytelling moments dedicated to the world of pizza, its regions, and its protagonists.
As per the format's tradition, taste is accompanied by music: the program includes concerts and live shows that animate the Roman evenings, transforming the Lungotevere into a large open-air stage. The festive atmosphere and the view of the river make this Roman stop an event suitable both for food and wine enthusiasts and for those looking for an evening of summer entertainment.
Pizza Village was created to celebrate the Art of the Neapolitan Pizzaiuolo, recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, and Italian cuisine, which is also a candidate for the same recognition. The Roman leg brings this legacy to the Lazio region, offering visitors an opportunity to rediscover a simple and universal dish through the hands of those who prepare it every day with passion.
Organized by ORAMATA Grandi Eventi with the support of partners such as Mulino Caputo and Coca-Cola, Pizza Village is now a circuit that touches some of the most important cities in Europe. With its arrival in Rome, the event strengthens its presence in the peninsula and gives the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital an event capable of combining gastronomic tradition, entertainment, and the promotion of 'Made in Italy'.
Pizza Village debuts in Rome from September 3rd to 6th, 2026, bringing to the Lungotevere the format that enlivens Naples and Milan every year. The village is part of the Lungo il Tevere Roma setting, with pizzeria stands overlooking the river in the evocative Castel Sant'Angelo area.
The program includes tastings from the best pizzerias, amateur masterclasses signed by Casa Caputo, workshops for children and families, informative meetings on the world of pizza, and live music in the evenings. Entrance to the village is free.
The detailed program for the first Roman edition is being defined. The main activities of the format have already been announced: tastings from participating pizzerias, amateur masterclasses by Casa Caputo, workshops and activities for children and families, informative meetings dedicated to pizza and its regions, as well as a lineup of live music and evening shows. The final concert calendar, the list of pizzerias, and opening hours will be published on the official website in the weeks leading up to the event.
The village is located on the Lungotevere, in the Castel Sant'Angelo area, in the center of Rome. By subway: line A, Lepanto or Ottaviano-San Pietro stops, then a few minutes on foot. Direct buses to the historic center are available from Roma Termini station. The area is pedestrianized and easily reachable on foot from the main points of interest in the center.
Entrance to the village is free; tastings and dishes can be purchased directly at the pizzeria stands. Opening is scheduled for the late afternoon and continues until the evening for all days of the event. It is recommended to check the official website for final times and any musical programs.
As it is a central and very busy area, it is advisable to reach the event by public transport. The evenings in early September in Rome are mild: light clothing and comfortable shoes for walking along the river are recommended.
