La Pizzeria is the name that Daniele Sigalot chose in 2009 when he opened his studio in Berlin, in order not to disappoint the cliché that sees Italians abroad behind respected only behind a restaurant kitchen. In 2023 Sigalot returned to Rome, where he was born in 1976, and brought his Pizzeria along with him, which he himself describes as follows: "I would like a studio that was somewhere between a laboratory, an art gallery, an oratory and a night club".
La Pizzeria is divided into 3 floors, the ground floor hosts the latest artistic productions of Sigalot, where 4 artworks are hard to ignore given their magnitude: the bar counter made with 40,000 one-cent coins, the ping pong table made of stainless steel and inspired by the dualism between the two hemispheres of the brain, a 5-metre wall installation and a huge paper boat which is not made of paper.
Downstairs is the laboratory/workshop, also filled with works, including the large mirrored map of Rome, where you can discover how the topography of the city transform the image of those who are reflected in it. Upstairs, in the floor dedicated to the office and the kitchen, you can take a little excursus in one of the roman artist's most bizarre projects, the Coppa Pizzeria, a 2-a-side football tournament among artists that Sigalot has been organizing since 2010 and that it is pretty much a circus without a tent.
