Most-loved dishes
AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the pizza rossa, calling it a standout, while the overall vibe is one of warm, rustic satisfaction with simple, high-quality fare.
“This pizza is almost fried — it's so oily it's vitreous, but in a good way. The dough is crumbly, somewhere between shortcrust pastry and pizza, and the tomato heart releases when you bite into it. It's best with a cold, cheap beer. The burnt bits make it even better. It's a true zozzone — context is everything: at 2 PM or 2 AM, it hits different.”

Fornaretti is a legendary bakery in Ostia that makes an almost-fried pizza — oily, crumbly, and incredibly satisfying, especially with a cold beer; it's a true local institution, open early in the morning but sadly not at night.

Pizza Rossa
This pizza is almost fried — it's so oily it's vitreous, but in a good way. The dough is crumbly, somewhere between shortcrust pastry and pizza, and the tomato heart releases when you bite into it. It's best with a cold, cheap beer. The burnt bits make it even better. It's a true zozzone — context is everything: at 2 PM or 2 AM, it hits different.
Pizza Bianca
The white pizza is also good — it's from a bakery-pastry shop that makes pizza, and it's well-made. It's tall and has that same oily, crumbly quality. It's a solid option.
