Casa Roma Pizza al taglio — Restaurant in Marseille

It was a hot and sweaty afternoon on the Mediterranean coast in Cassis - is this where Cassis comes from? Who knows… probably Jesus. After scanning the menu of various restaurants, looking for vegetarian options, we stranded at Pizza Roma. We hoped to find a price worthy alternative for all the high priced restaurants around us. The remaining pizzas of the day were brought from the fridge in the kitchen; it was around closing time. We chose pizza with mozzarella and since there was no other vegetarian option we also got a little piece with ham. There was no price signs to see and when she weighted the pizza and wrote down 22 & 11 we thought it must be some Italian metrics. We also got two soft drinks to make it a whole meal.

The staff is extremely impolite. We have ideed ordered coffee and some soda in order to rest for a few minutes. The terrace was empty but however the owner has warned us that their place is not a bar and that we need to leave if people come. Nevertheless, as long as we paid for what we have ordered, there should be no issue with it. However, it seems that they really needed to point it out that the so called "restaurant" was not a bar. On top of that, they do not speak English. Lastly and most importantly, they only checked the covid pass once we left and hence we could have easily come and stayed and their "terrace" having covid....
