"Next door, Barbara Express will sell Roman pizza al taglio — square slices cut to order with specialty pizza scissors — served at the counter for cafe-style seating or to go, with delivery reportedly in the works. The square al taglio uses the same soy-, rice-, and wheat-flour, high-hydration, long-fermentation dough as the pinsa, making the crust sturdy enough to hold lots of toppings and travel well. A notable operational twist: customers will pay for pizza by the ounce rather than by the slice, a decision Covucci admits he agonized over and wonders whether San Franciscans are ready to adopt." - Caleb Pershan
