Why we recommend it
The trapizzino, a triangle of pizza bianca split and stuffed with saucy Roman fillings, was created by pizzaiolo Stefano Callegari, and this shop on Via Giovanni Branca in Testaccio is where the brand began before spreading across Rome and beyond. Fillings rotate but typically include chicken cacciatora, meatballs in tomato sauce, oxtail and tripe, with vegetarian options too. Supplì and other fried snacks round out the menu.
It is a cheap, quick meal rather than a sit-down restaurant, ideal after exploring Testaccio's market or the Protestant Cemetery. Trapizzino now has several other branches in the city, including one on Piazza Trilussa in Trastevere and another inside Termini station's Mercato Centrale, handy if you are short of time.
