About Pizza Village Rome

Pizza Village arrives in Rome for the first time: from September 3rd to 6th, 2026, the Lungotevere, in the shadow of Castel Sant'Angelo, hosts the Roman leg of the largest international event dedicated to Neapolitan pizza. Featuring tastings from the best pizzerias, Casa Caputo masterclasses, live music, and workshops for all ages, the format that conquered Naples, Milan, Berlin, and London brings a riverside village of taste to the Capital, with views of St. Peter's dome.

Pizza Village arrives in Rome

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.

A village of taste on the Lungotevere

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.

Tastings, masterclasses, and workshops

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.

Live music and entertainment

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.

Neapolitan pizza, a UNESCO heritage

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.

An international format in the Capital

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'.
