The story
In Rome's Testaccio, Pizzeria Remo delivers a classic, no‑frills encounter with Roman pizza‑making. So Hungry Italy advises arriving by 7 pm to beat the queue for artisanal handmade dough, fried supplì, and Roman classics. Pizzaiolo Alessandro—18 years at the oven, ten of those shaping pies—brings quiet passion to each order, as captured in the same creator's behind‑the‑scenes clip.
The pizza itself is a study in generous toppings and crisp crusts. So Hungry Italy notes that the Margherita with puntanella mozzarella “looks perfect,” while Francesco Zini calls the spot legendary, highlighting fried baccalà and a classic capricciosa. With every table's spread—from fiori di zucca to a sweet ricotta‑e‑visciole calzone—Remo delivers the genuine neighborhood energy that keeps Rome coming back.

I see fried zucchini flowers being prepared — they're a deep-fried Roman specialty. I don't get to taste them, but they look like a typical starter here.
Melanzane e Mozzarella Gratin
I see eggplant and mozzarella gratin being made — it's baked in the pizza oven and then marinated with olive oil and Italian parsley. It looks like a nice side dish.

Baccalà fritto
Another legendary appetizer, the fried baccalà. You open it, squeeze lemon, and grate pepper. The lemon and pepper combo works perfectly together.
Crostini burrai
As a second appetizer, crostini burrai. The sweetness of the butter and mozzarella is crossed by the transversality of the anchovies, and the bread is toasted perfectly.
Pizza Capricciosa
As pizza, a nice capricciosa bismar. I struggle to feel the dough in the middle of all these ingredients. This isn't just a pizza — it's feelings, people, anecdotes. It is good, though.
Calzone
Last savory course, the calzone — inside frittata, mozzarella, and ham, and spread on the outside with frittata. You try to understand the sense of this egg mixed with mozzarella. I can't find it, but it's there, it exists, and that's fine.
