Any way you SLICE it, @ifratellipizza is probably a better option than Peter 🌹 #givingifratellimyfinalrose #andpaycheck #sishoodofthetravelingfork . 🌟: Have you ever eaten a not round pizza? Me either until @ifratellipizza! They have FREE delivery, so when the ‘za craving hits and you might not be looking like a dime, you still have no excuse not to order! Love their thin crunchy crust on this rectangle-shaped pizza. Their motto is never trust a round pizza, so just to be on the safe side, I think I’ll keep giving i Fratelli all of my paycheck. 💰: FREE delivery all day, every day! 📍: Allen St. (Uptown Dallas) 🍴: Pizza (also have gluten-free options, salads and dessert) . SISHOOD’S ORDER: Del Bianco Pizza, Vegetarian Pizza, House Salad, Caesar Salad, Cheesecake with Strawberry Topping . #ifratelli #dallaspizza #dallasfood #dallasitalian #uptowndallas #dallaspr #dallasfoodie #dallasfoodblog #yelpdallas #newtodallas #dallasfoodblogger #visitdallas #bestofbigd #dmagazine #dallasfoodies #dfwfood #dfwfoodie #dfwfoodies #bestfooddallas #dallasdinner #exploredallas #eatdallas #eaterdallas.
