Trapizzino – The Pizza Pocket Rome Invented (and the World Copies)

In 2009 Stefano Callegari stood in Testaccio with a problem: he wanted to bring Oxtail and Chicken Cacciatore to the street. The result was the Trapizzino — and a new streetfood category.

In 2009 Stefano Callegari stood in his pizzeria in Testaccio with a problem. He wanted to make Roman classics — Oxtail, Chicken Cacciatore, Tripe in tomato sauce — portable. He took pizza dough, baked it into a triangle, and cut one side open. The Trapizzino was born.

The Fillings

Polpetta al Sugo — one big meatball in thick tomato sauce. The most ordered. The sauce runs out the sides, the paper cone catches it. Pollo alla Cacciatora — chicken braised with tomatoes, olives, rosemary. Coda alla Vaccinara — oxtail in tomato sauce. The most Roman experience.
