Forno Vicolo Rosso

8.9

A Testaccio bakery counter where the pizza comes out in long blistered slabs and gets scissored to order by weight. The rossa with nothing but tomato and oil proves the dough; the mortadella-and-fig proves the imagination. There are no seats and no ceremony — eat on the curb with the market workers. Closes at 3pm and all day Sunday, like it should.
