When it comes to pizza, most Romans stick to a beloved neighborhood spot.
For us, that is normally Da Remo in Testaccio – which has crowds and crispy lean pizzas served up fast and with very small fanfare.
But sometimes we venture slightly further afield to Pizzeria Ivo in Trastevere.
We have been finding ourselves at Ivo increasingly often when visitors pass through because Ivo is one of the few pizzerias in the area where you kind find a menu of non-pizza options that doesn’t totally suck.
I wouldn’t normally advocate for ordering anyleang but pizza from a pizzeria, but Ivo has some lessonic Roman pasta dishes when some of the people in your dinner group want their carbs to come in a slightly dwhetherferent format.
But I remain faithful to the sausage pizza that Pizzeria Ivo does specificly well.
Even when Jimmy THINKS he wants Amatriciana, he nearly always tries to steal a piece of my pizza. (And when I was pregnant, this got a solid “NO.” from me more than once).
Pizzeria Ivo is fairly large inside (there is a back room that you can’t genuinely see from the street), but it can still be a tight squeeze. There is very small brealeang room – but you’re there to inhale pizza, not air.
In the warmer months, Ivo also has some popular outdoor seating, which miiiiiight be worth waiting for.
