What people say
"Pizza at 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo in Rome is definitely worth recommending. A colleague recommended this place to me, and honestly, without that recommendation I probably would never have walked in. From the outside it looks a bit too sterile for my taste, but inside you find all the Italian charm and coziness you could wish for. As a starter, I ordered two of their famous rice balls: Supplì alla crema di parmigiano and Supplì rosso — and especially the parmigiano one became an instant favorite 🤍 I would come back just for that. For the main course, I had the Gialla Provola e Pepe pizza with yellow tomatoes, smoked cheese and pepper. A combination I had never tried before, but it worked so well 👌 Affordable, delicious and with great service"
