The Roman Carbonara pizza translates the classic pasta sauce onto a thin, crispy crust. Guanciale is scattered across the base, fresh egg yolk goes on just before service, pecorino shards finish the pizza. The crust arrives crackling — the egg yolk breaks across the hot surface. MaMeMi sources guanciale from a specific producer and pecorino from another, allowing the dish to shine through ingredient quality.
Tips from diners
Ask for a wine pairing recommendation with this — MaMeMi's wine staff are knowledgeable and can suggest a natural wine that brings out the egg and cured meat.
Order this if you want a statement pizza that initiates conversation — it's visually striking and tasty enough to discuss.
The Roman Margherita is the baseline for understanding MaMeMi's crust style — thin, almost paper-thin, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. The tomato is mild and sweet, the mozzarella creamy, the basil fresh. On a thin crust, the cheese-to-base ratio feels completely different than thicker styles. Reviewers note this as the pizza to order if you want to taste the technical skill of the kitchen.
Tips from diners
Order this first to understand the house style, then branch out to more adventurous pizzas knowing the baseline.
MaMeMi takes vegan pizza seriously — the thin crust is naturally vegan (no eggs in the dough), and the kitchen sources quality vegan mozzarella. The pizza is loaded with seasonal roasted vegetables that are charred and flavorful. Reviewers note this is not an afterthought but a genuine menu offering.
Tips from diners
The vegan pizza here deserves respect — ask for a wine pairing with it, and the wine staff will take it seriously.
MaMeMi offers gluten-free pizza made with a quality gluten-free flour blend that mimics the texture of traditional crust as closely as possible. The pizza is prepared in a dedicated area to avoid cross-contamination. Reviewers with celiac disease note this as a rare opportunity to eat Roman-style pizza safely.
Tips from diners
Inform the staff upfront that you need gluten-free — they take this seriously and will handle preparation carefully.
A simple pizza that celebrates guanciale — cured pork jowl — which MaMeMi sources from a specific Italian producer. The guanciale crisps slightly in the oven heat, releasing fat that seasons the thin crust. Pecorino scattered across adds a sharp note. Reviewers describe this as a meditation on cured meat quality.
Tips from diners
If the sommelier offers a wine flight paired with multiple pizzas, this should be one of them — guanciale and natural wine is a proven pairing.
MaMeMi opened in 2015, founded by two brothers and their cousin who grew up together in Rome. The restaurant focuses on authentic Roman pizza — thin, crispy crust loaded with quality ingredients — paired exclusively with natural wines from small Italian producers. The wine list runs over 400 selections, all chosen to pair with the pizzas. Every pizza is made to order, and the small plates and sharing format encourage lingering and tasting across the menu. Ranked #17 of all Copenhagen restaurants on TripAdvisor.
The small 46-seat space is intimate and ideal for pairs. Sit at the counter to watch the pizzaiolo work and chat with the wine staff.
The wine list is the main event here — 400+ natural wines, mostly Italian and under 100 DKK. Ask the staff for a recommendation by taste profile rather than name. They're knowledgeable about small producers.
Book ahead for weekends. Wednesday-Thursday are quieter and better for lingering. Arrive by 8:00 pm if you want a relaxed meal — later reservations feel rushed as the kitchen closes at 9:45 pm (10:30 pm Fri-Sat).
