Artani’s Pizzeria - Rome
Rome Sentinel told the story of how this Rome pizzeria became Artani's: after a cease-and-desist from Frank Sinatra's estate over its former name and decor, owners Justin and Lindsey Gillett put the rebrand to a public Facebook vote and landed on 'Artani's,' Sinatra reversed. The feature frames the change as a new name over the same food the shop's regulars already knew. Order a New York-style cheese slice or a specialty pie, with wings on the side.
