Not only does it serve great pizza by the slice (I'm partial to their pizza patate with shredded potatoes and cheese), it also manages to do so within a stone's throw of the Vatican walls, just a one-minute detour from the endless river of tourists walking that narrow sidewalk path around the walls between the entrance to the Vatican Museums and St. Peters.
This in of itself is actually an amazing feat—and what earns them a star—since the two-block coccoon around the Vatican is pretty much the only part in all of Rome where you will consistantly find bad food.
It's not fancy. It's just pizza. But it's decent pizza, it's fast and cheap, and it's the perfect thing for busy visitors looking for a snack or lunch on the run between visiting two of the top sights in Rome.
As at most pizza rustica spots in Rome, you order by weight (un'etto is 100 grams—due etti [200 grams] is a small portion; quattro etti [400 grams] will satisfy big appetites)—or you can order by price, really.
Pizza margherita ("plain" cheese and tomato sauce) runs just over €1 per etto (this is true at most place), so you can just order "tre euro della margherita" (€3 buys roughly 300 grams) and get about the right amount.
Something fancier or with two toppings will probably run around €1.55 per etto, so order €4–€6 of that.
