La gatta mangiona: the best pizza in Rome
Rome’s best pizzeria? ‘La gatta mangiona’ (the greedy cat).
People come from all over to taste this incomparable pizza: it’s half way between a puffy Neapolitan pizza and a crunchy flat Roman one.
It’s certainly thicker than the typical Roman pizza.
The question is: how do they manage to prepare such a good pizza?
The secret is the special dough: it’s semi-whole meal and it’s kept 48 hours in the fridge to ensure a slow and perfect rise.
You can even choose among lots of different toppings: one of the best is the exquisite buffalo mozzarella.
They have incredibly tasty appetizers.
You can start your meal with fried stuffed olives or with fried zucchini blossoms.
They offer a great selection of beers and a substantial wine list.
In case you prefer eating something different, they also have excellent pasta dishes, meat, fish and salads and a selection of daily specials on the board.
Their home-made desserts are very simple and absolutely tasty.
So, even if this pizzeria is not that easy to reach, it’s worth the journey.
You need to take a tram and a bus and you’ll arrive in the quiet Monteverde aerea.
But don’t forget to book: it’s extremely popular!
The atmosphere is nice and welcoming: the restaurant is bright and colourful and has plenty of cat-themed artwork.
If you love pizza, you can’t miss this pizzeria: it’s absolutely a place to go to and try!
