I can’t say that pizza al taglio is ‘having a second’ in Rome as a result of it by no means went out of favor. Pizza by the slice is a ritual within the Everlasting Metropolis. It may be a lunch on the go, one thing easy to get pleasure from whereas catching up with a pal, or a day snack. There are wonderful locations established within the metropolis – together with Pizzarium and Casa Manco – however not too long ago there are new pizzerie placing that steadiness between custom and modern delicacies.
Pizzeria Pantera in Garbatella has change into an instantaneous traditional after opening in late 2023. Pantera is the newest challenge from the brothers who additionally based Trecca, a contemporary osteria, and Circoletto – the pure wine bar at Circo Massimo.
Pantera feels native, although, with an indication that merely declares “Pizzeria” and pre-sliced pizza al taglio that prices simply €1.50 to €3 relying on the toppings. Don’t miss the pizza rossa drizzled with a brilliant salsa verde, or the crispy potato pizza.
The crust at Pantera Pizzeria is low and crunchy. That is the perfect of Rome’s pizza scrocchiarella, and finest loved scorching out of the oven.
Past the pizza, the suppli are fantastically crunchy, with the outer layer of bread crumbs cracking as you get to the rice and always-melted mozzarella on the middle. The proper snack will set you again €2. You’ll be able to seize a Lazio craft beer from the fridge to spherical out the meal.
There is no such thing as a indoor seating, so Pantera is finest on a sunny afternoon when you possibly can sit exterior on the benches and excessive tables alongside Circonvallazione Ostiense, a few block from the neighborhood’s iconic white bridge.
