The Especial Roma, the pizza with its own club

It is not the most famous pizza on the menu, but the Especial Roma has that discreet magnetism of things ordered by name.

At Pizzeria Roma, right in the historic centre of Ciutadella, this pizza plays a tasty game between sea and oven: tomato, oregano, mozzarella, tuna, prawns and garlic; a direct, recognisable combination, very Menorcan in its way of understanding abundance without making a fuss.

The dough, made in-house and baked in a wood-fired oven, provides a thin, crisp and lightly toasted base; the mozzarella brings everything together; the tuna adds intensity; the prawns, a sweet and maritime touch; and the garlic, that character that makes every bite linger in the memory.

Roma is one of those family-run, reliable addresses in Ciutadella, rooted in local tradition, where a pizza can be both an informal dinner and a small ritual. The Especial Roma has something special.
