San Martino in Rome: the unique encounter between Roman pizza and wine.

In the vibrant gastronomic scene of the Eternal City, the restaurant San Martino – Pizza & Bolle emerges as a bold project, born from the fusion of tradition, innovation, and the passion of those who love to transform Roman pizza into an unforgettable culinary experience.

 

The perfect marriage of pizza and sparkling wines

San Martino is rooted in a unique vision: that of creating an idyllic accord between the classic Roman pizza and the elegance of bubbles. The project was born from the awareness that two worlds, seemingly distant due to preconceptions and established customs, could meet in a harmonious gastronomic exchange. Here, the customer becomes the composer of their own experience, free to pair their favourite pizza with a wide selection of wine labels.

 

Alessio Muscas: the pizza chef of San Martino

The heart of San Martino is pizza chef Alessio Muscas, born in 1991, who has joined the vision of ‘Pizza & Bolle‘ in 2023. With an already established history in the pizza world, Alessio decided to bring out the best of Roman gourmet pizza. The result? A pizza with a low and crispy dough, awarded with 3 Spicchi Gambero Rosso, made with refined, high quality and perfectly balanced ingredients like the heat of Neapolis. His experience, gained from Neapolitan pizza and ‘pizza in pala’, contributes to preserve traditions and embrace new techniques, methodologies and visions.

 

Choosing Neapolis oven

Alessio’ personality emerges clearly in his words: “[…] I am one of the first to bake Roman pizza on Neapolis oven, generally used for Neapolitan and contemporary pizza.”

Neapolis is an oven with a superior technological innovation that determines the success of the pizzas served at San Martino, demonstrating its great adaptive capacity and always offering impeccable performance.

Muscas emphasises the importance of this choice, highlighting the desire to benefit from the best that technology can offer in the field of ovens.

“With Neapolis, on Saturdays we use the Power-Booster™ function when we exceed 200 pizzas and the Eco-Standby™ mode between the first and second shifts, guaranteeing product quality and energy savings,” says Muscas, giving some details of the operating practices.
The decision reflects the philosophy of this food and wine business to combine tradition and modernity, ensuring the quality and wholesomeness of Roman pizza in harmony with innovation and sustainability.

San Martino is part of a broader entrepreneurial project known as ‘Pizza & Bolle’, which also links the Sant’Isidoro and San Biagio pizzerias in Rome. Together, they create a new interpretation of the iconic Italian dish, enriched by the elegance of sparkling wines.
