Pizzeria da Remo

Oh man the pizza here is so good! The crust is super thin, but it holds up the ingredients quite well (a bit soggy towards the middle, but it doesn’t break apart). To eat, I was given a piece of paper, I suppose because the pizza is bigger than the plate! I was also given a knife and fork to eat the pizza with. I ordered the house special, which has sausage, mushrooms, and eggplant. It was delicious! I loved every bite of it, and I would recommend it! The location is somewhat inconvenient because it’s not really near any of the main attractions, but it’s a bus ride away from the Colosseum and is definitely worth going to if you’re not on a time crunch!

After being slightly underwhelmed with Neopolitan pizza (crust not crispy enough, too soft in the middle for our taste), we decided to give Da Remo a go, and I’m so glad we did! We came on a Wednesday night, no booking, and got one of the last available tables around 8:30 pm. It’s a crowded and busy place, where the servers run around like crazy to serve everyone. They won’t pay much attention to you, so waving them down is an effort, but if you have what you need, relax and enjoy the pizza. From our streetside table, I enjoyed the house red wine and a starter of lovely, homey, simple beans and vegetables. The high-​quality olive oil on the beans elevates the peasant-​style dish, and it had us swearing to start cooking more beans from scratch when we got back home. While I certainly won’t be able to remember what pizzas we had (I know mine had lovely, briny anchovies on. The Ninja Turtles would’ve hated it). I do remember that the crust was crispy from the outside to the center, and made a delightful crackle in your mouth — JUST the way we like it. Sorry Naples, you gotta cook it a little bit more. We really enjoyed the flavor of the sauce, the light fresh toppings, and the crust was perfect. Took ages to get someone’s attention to get the bill, but why not linger? If the crowds waiting don’t glare at you.
Oh, the ordering process is a bit weird. They give you a menu, and a card with a pencil. You have to check off what you want on the card, then just hand it to a waiter. It’s actually easy, but nobody explains it, so you feel a bit unsure. Just see what all the locals around you are doing if you’re confused.

The best pizza I ever had? Don’t think so. Was it great. Absolutely.
Funny, aggressive waiter. Very entertaining.
The pizza is razor thin and not at all soggy. For purists, stick with the basic margarita. The best of the four we had. If you like anchovies, the zucchini flower and anchovy was very good but not for everyone.
The other dishes, like eggplant parmesan, are very good as well.
Inexpensive as well. Cash only. Give it a try. Lots of locals and the real deal.

Got the Pizza Remo. Very very soggy crust. I peeled part of it off and left it on the plate. Last time i got buffalo mozzarella and loved it so dragged my new husband there tonight. So disappointed. Not sure if I’ll come back

Let me preface this by saying I’m a New Haven, CT native so I was raised on Pepe’s Pizza. Trust me, I know good pizza when I taste it. I’d even venture to say I know it when I smell it.
And, man, does this place have it.
I truly never thought I’d encounter a pizza that rivaled my beloved Pepe’s but Da Remo is right up there contending for my heart (or arteries). Ravenous, a girlfriend and I came early on Monday evening to ensure we’d be seated immediately (this place gets bumpin’ as the night goes on). I ordered the pizza bianche with salmon and she had the pizza with sausage. Your heard that right, we had a pizza each to ourselves. I have no regrets.
Both pies were brought out promptly with a liter of house red wine we’d ordered not 5 minutes prior. This place knows efficiency. The pizzas were extremely thin crust but did not skimp on cheese or topping. Even more miraculous was that the bottoms of the pies somehow had not been blackened, which can be typical with thin crusts. Those men working the oven really know their way around a pie. Everything was fresh, bursting with flavor, and the atmosphere was very casual and family style.
I think tourists and locals alike would agree that Da Remo is the place to go if you’re jonesing for a cheap meal that satisfies. Deliziosa!

I didn’t have enough with one pizza, I had have another one. Wow, what an amazing pizza!
Get there soon and be hungry.

Great Italian atmosphere and cheap! Such deliciously thin crust pizza that you have to eat with fork. Suppli is the best I have had in Rome.

This is the besta pizza pie that I’ve had while in Italy! (Sorry…I can’t resist. No offense intended).
It’s the crisp yet snappy, chewy crust that really does it for me. The great bits of char on the crust make it so flavorful. And, the ingredients are super, super fresh.
A liter of average, chilled red house wine, three pizzas, a fried rice ball, a fried zuhinni flower stuffed with some sort of anchovy and ricotta and a large bottle of water for 40 €!
Great service in this neighborhood hotspot to boot. I am a fan.

Contender for best pizza ever. I am serious. Ask any Roman! I lived in Rome and went back a lot and was always taken here. Had not been for years but adored it once I went back. I did the rest test of a pizzeria and want for the plain margherita — ok, bufala but same same and it was out of this world!
Full review here :)

The pizza here is thin crust and the service is typical Roman. Judging this place against any other type of pizza or level of service would be unfair. That being said:
–the pizza was delicious, I ordered the Diavola and my friend got the margherita con bufala. both were well made with fresh ingredients and evenly cooked
–prices are a good value for the quality of food and location; you could do a whole lot worse in the city center for both quality and price
–don’t expect waiters fawning all over you. wait for a table sit down, fill out the paper menu, and know that you will receive your food when your server deems it so

My husband and I are visiting from LA and we were expecting to find mind blowing pizza in Rome. So … we did an online search and found Da Remo. Took us about 45 minutes to get here via metro/​walking. We were seated right away, not much wait at the time. We ordered the bufala mozzarella margherita and the mushroom. Neither were anything special. A great pizza should have a kick-​ass sauce and this one had no flavor. Let’s put it this way, I’ve had better at CPK. If you’re in the area, try it out. But in my opinion, wasn’t worth the trip. At the end, about 5 min after paying the bill, the waiter told us to hurry up and leave because he has other people waiting, and indeed he did. Not cool though. Best pizza I’ve had so far is Pullino’s in Soho NYC. If a pizza can beat that, then it’s awesome. This one didn’t even come close.

Why haven’t any pizza failed me so far in Rome? I loooooove Remo! Thin crispy cooked in a wood burning oven type of pizza. This is a locals spot and not many tourists go there, now that’s always a good sign of a great restaurant! It’s very casual, indoor/​outdoor pizzeria. Service is great! But now, let’s talk about their pizza!
No menu in English, so ask your Italian friend, or waiter to translate everything b/​c you dont want to miss out on any pizza topping. They have a variety of white and red pizza to choose from. It tastes AMAAAAAZING.
We started off dinner by ordering a Suppli which is a fried roll stuffed with rice and ragu meat. Good lord it was delicious! We also ordered some bruschetta which is much better than the bruschetta’s they serve in other countires. Here you get the authentic Roman food!
You must go to this place!

The epitome of Roman pizza. Professional food reviewers call this the best of Roma. Yep. Simply put, you eat this, you will NEVER be able to eat an American pizza again.
The crust, a couple of millimeters thick, blistered, charred. Hints of bitter smoke from the wood burning oven. Crisp and a little burnt on the edges. Incredible chew similar to Indian naan through the middle. Add a mind blowing, intensely flavored, sweet and acidic tomato purée, milky fresh mozzarella, egg plant, mushrooms, sweet, intense fennel flavored house made pork sausage with whips of aged umami goodness, whatever else. Served steaming and bubbling. Perfect.
Maybe the minerals in the water, the yeast, the wheat, milling of the flour, the type of hard wood charcoal, the sun ripened tomatoes, whatever. Bottom line, this pizza is a singular experience that cannot be duplicated.
Utilitarian décor. Paper table coverings. Close tables. Very friendly service. Everything you expect from a place that focuses more on the pizza than anything else.
Packed with locals. Tourist are not tolerated if you don’t try to fit in (spread your own paper table covering, don’t try to customize the pizza, EAT YOUR PIZZA WITH A FORK AND KNIFE, serve yourself water and wine, and have a great time interacting with fellow diners).
Dinner only. Reservations not accepted. A short 15 minute wait at 9:30pm on a weekday. Very little English. Be sure to know your Italian pizza terminology before you go. Attempt to communicate in Italian. It will go a long way to improving the service.
Simple, correct house wine.
Inexpensive and very memorable meal for around € 10 per person.

Les pizzas sont excellentes, la pâte est parfaite. Très appréciée des habitants du quartier (le Testaccio). Il y a beaucoup de monde et le service arrive pourtant à être rapide. Vraiment une très très bonne adresse.

Came here during a vacation to Rome a couple weeks ago, based on seeing this pizza place at the top of almost every top 10 Roman pizza list online. When we arrived, it was pretty intimidating to see about 50 locals standing around outside waiting to be seated. This place was strictly locals only as it’s not really near any tourist attractions. It took about an hour and we were finally seated. I ordered a prosciutto pizza and my wife ordered a mushroom pizza. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed as the pizzas weren’t that flavorful. They were decent, but not what I expected from one of the highest rated pizza places in the city. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to come here.

Even though the pizza was a bit burnt, the sausage was so good that we did not care. Again, service in Testaccio for non-​Italian-​speakers was less than stellar, but with a bit of perseverence, we got a table and enjoyed a jug of wine and amazing sausage pizza!

This is the best Pizza I had in Rome. You don’t need reservations but be prepared to wait as it is always packed with locals. I heard about it on Katie Parla’s blog and the pictures hooked me completely. So, by the time we arrived in Rome, I knew this was going to be one pizzeria we had to try.
We arrived here on our rented Vespa and it was one of the best nights in Rome. Its located in Testaccio so the vespa was perfect as I dont know how far this place is from a metro stop. The pizza is to die for… thin crust, simple and so delicious! Get individual pizzas as they are perfect for one person and as in most authentic Italian pizzerias, this place is open only for dinner.
In our 4 day trip to Rome, we ate here twice… it was simply that good. The servers are so friendly, I even took a picture with one of them. They speak minimal English but they do have an English
favourite is the pizza margherita… it has the classic Roman crust: paper thin and at the same time flimsy and crispy so it bends into a perfect crunchy cheese envelope for your enjoyment… It’s the best ever. They have amazing frites (fried appetizers) as well but it is the pizzas that make my heart melt. AMAZING… if you are in Rome and craving pizzas, look no further… just head here and get ready to have your mind blown. Best Pizza ever!
