Avenida Calò
Francesco Calò is 50 Top Pizza's Pizzaiolo of the Year for 2026.
Why go
50 Top Pizza announced both on the same night and put the room sixth: Sixth place for Avenida Calò of Francesco Calò, in Rome
(50 Top Pizza). And the maker's award, the Ferrarelle prize for Pizzaiolo dell'Anno 2026, went to Calò himself. No other Roman pizzaiolo took a named personal award in the same edition.
That is everything I have. I have found no writer who describes the room, the dough or a plate, and the ranking that placed it publishes no description of its own. Calò is a Neapolitan pizzaiolo, which is why Gambero Rosso's guide to the Roman round does not carry him.
Order this / avoid
- Order: whatever he is baking. I have no dish named by any source.
- Avoid: planning the evening around it until you have the address. Roma Capitale's own listing holds a coordinate for this room and no street.
What locals & experts say
- 50 Top Pizza Italia 2026: "• Pizzaiolo dell'Anno 2026 – Ferrarelle Award: Francesco Calò di Avenida Calò, Roma;"1
Good to know
- The record: one awarding body and nothing else. I have not found a single piece of writing about this room.
- Where: Roma Capitale's listing puts it north-west of the centre and prints no street line.
Verdict
could-visit — The record stops at the award: no writer anywhere I could reach describes the room, the dough or a plate, and the guide's own page for it returns nothing. It sits at could-visit on a standing without a description, which is exactly what it is.
