Via Aldo Manuzio 66C Nuovo Mercato di Testaccio Box, 22, 00153 Roma RM, Italy Get directions
"There aren’t many places in Rome to find vegan pizza that’s actually good, but Casa Manco is the exception. Get a slice of vegan pizza rossa that’s spiked with chili and a scattering of parsley and mint or go for one with radicchio, gorgonzola, and walnuts. Their location in the open-air Mercato di Testaccio is small, but there are a couple of seats around the market. Definitely check out some other vendors if you have some extra stomach space." - Team Infatuation
"There aren’t many places in Rome to find vegan pizza that’s actually good, but Casa Manco is the exception. Get a slice of vegan pizza rossa that’s spiked with chili and a scattering of parsley and mint or go for one with radicchio, gorgonzola, and walnuts. While you can stand and eat inside or sit at one of the two tiny areas outside, we recommend taking your pizza over to the Piazza di San Cosimato where you can find plenty of stone benches. If you come on a summer night, you can even catch a movie at the open-air cinema they set up in the piazza." - Gillian McGuire
"Testaccio has one of the few markets in Rome where you can graze on prepared food (the others focus on selling ingredients rather than meals). Husband-and-wife team Paola Manco and Andrea Salabè opened Casa Manco there in 2017, and it quickly became one of the most appealing spots in a growing sea of dining options. The couple sells pizza alla pala, naturally fermenting their dough and proofing it for four days before stretching it into oblong discs. The substantial toppings are suited for the structurally sound base: zucchini flowers, salted anchovies, and stracciatella; guanciale, pecorino Romano, and black pepper; potato and mozzarella. The simplest offering, dough rolled in sesame seeds and then baked, has an ethereal texture and toasted flavor that is incredibly complex, in spite of its seeming simplicity. There is a second location on Via di San Cosimato in Trastevere." - Katie Parla
