Il Grottino a Testaccio is a beloved local pizzeria in Rome's Testaccio neighborhood. Famous for its authentic, paper-thin, crispy Roman-style pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven, it's a must-visit for pizza enthusiasts.

Try the authentic thin-crust Roman pizza, especially the Margherita Bufala, and don't miss the "Carciofo alla Giudia" appetizer.
In their own words: “It's time to try some authentic Roman pizza and behind me is "Il Grottino a Testaccio" or the small cave in Testaccio, and here we're going to enjoy some proper Roman pizza. Once in Rome a must try is the authentic thin crust Roman pizza, and there are several places that make this pizza for decades, and one of them is "Il Grottino" the small cave in neighborhood of Testaccio. Even though many places around Rome offer traditional thin crust pizza actually there aren't that many of them left that do it properly, the right, way but Il Grottino is one of those places that still makes the proper authentic Roman pizza. Before my pizza is here I also ordered an appetizer and this is "Carciofo alla Giudia". This is a staple of Rome, a deep fried artichoke. My "Margherita Bufala" is here and this is a Roman style pizza and it looks and smells incredible. This is the recognizable Roman thin crust pizza, and it's really light, the "cornicione", the crust quite crunchy. Paper thin and very crunchy perfection.”
