Via Roma

Via Roma Pizzeria was born from the shared roots of Biagio Cepollaro and Chef Topolino, both natives of Naples, Italy. Their passion for food was sparked in the lively streets of Via Roma, a neighborhood celebrated for its rich history, iconic views, and the irresistible aromas of bustling restaurants.

Although their early experiences were shaped by the same place, Biagio and Chef Topolino each set off on their own culinary journeys, honing their skills in various kitchens. Many years later, during the challenges of COVID, fate brought them together in Washington, D.C. Driven by a shared love for food and a desire to create something special for the DMV, they envisioned introducing a lighter, crispier take on pizza known as Pinsa—crafted with care and passion.

This idea blossomed into Via Roma, the region’s first certified Pinseria, where each creation reflects their dedication to quality and their deep connection to culinary tradition.
