AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
The pizza rossa earns rapturous praise for its perfectly blistered crust and tangy simplicity. Overall, reviewers describe the food as rustic, soulful, and deeply satisfying.
“They make a very thin pizza, extremely crunchy. For me this is how pizza rossa in Rome should be — thin and crispy, well cooked. The tomato is a bit more abundant than at Forno Albanesi. It's very dry as a pizza rossa, really not very oily. There's only a bit of raw oil on top. Extremely pleasant, but what I like is this dryness, this lightness — it doesn't grease your hands at all and you could eat it endlessly.”
