Designer pizza in a non-designer district of Rome. Its ten minutes walk from Trastevere but in a semi industrial residential area. Seu pizza is also a semi- Neapolitan pizza with a more firm base but a pillowy crust. The marinara was textbook perfection and so was the classic margherita. More interesting was the artichoke cream, Grilled artichoke, olive powder and grilled ham Supercapricciosa which felt like slightly a lot happening on the plate. The dessert pizza slice of strawberry confit, chocolate balls, grilled almonds, and cream was very successful thought! Worth a try among all the pizza al taglia.
