You're going to need a bigger trunk. 🍕

Staff Writer

Farinella told Narcity their al-taglio pizzas were inspired by working in one of Rome's oldest bakeries, Antico Forno Roscioli, for four years.

So when you order a pie, you can look forward to a thin and crispy crust that tastes like a trip to Italy.

Even if you have a tiny vehicle with no trunk space, the long boxes should fit in the back seat, but customers sometimes need to get creative when transporting their food home.

If you aren't sure what to order, two of the most popular flavours are the classic Margherita and the drool-worthy Tony B, with whipped ricotta, roasted red peppers, and sausage.
