l'essenziale
The essentials
The Street Food box is Pazzini's homemade Italian street-eats bundle, straight from the anti-waste Italian deli in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés: two slices of pizza al taglio (or two maxi focaccias) paired with an arancino, made the same day and offered at a cut price so none of the day's batch goes to waste. Picture a Palermo back-street at noon: the dough cracking, the mozzarella melting, that golden rice ball crunching before it gives up its molten heart. Except this time, it's waiting just around the corner from you. Every day our cooks make a little more than they need so nobody leaves empty-handed; by the end of service, these perfectly good treats deserve a plate, not a bin. For the price of a sad supermarket sandwich, you walk away with a real slice of Italy — warm, generous and the good stuff. What's inside shifts with the day's bake, so there's a tasty surprise built in. One rule only: it's collect-today, and once it's gone, it's gone.

Ideas for use
01
The express lunch that actually impresses
Warm it in the oven for a few minutes (skip the microwave to keep it crisp) and you've got a full Italian lunch in less time than it takes to order delivery. Pizza al taglio or focaccia as the main, arancino as the tasty bonus.
02
Italian-style grazing board
Cut the focaccia or pizza al taglio into little squares, halve the arancino to show off its molten heart, and lay it all out on a board. A glass of Italian red, a few olives, and aperitivo hour is sorted — no cooking required.
03
The smart picnic
This box travels brilliantly: pizza al taglio and focaccia are hand food, and so is the arancino. Head down to the banks of the Marne for lunch on the grass, Italian street-counter style — no plates, no cutlery needed.
04
Guilt-free dinner rescue
One of those nights with zero urge to cook? This box turns an empty fridge into an Italian feast. And since it's all food saved from waste, you can tuck in with a totally clear conscience.
Frequently asked questions
What is Pazzini's Italian Street Food box?
It's a homemade Italian street-food bundle from Pazzini, the anti-waste Italian deli in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. It contains two slices of pizza al taglio (Roman-style pizza by the slice, sold by weight) or two maxi focaccias, paired with an arancino. Everything is made the same day and sold at a reduced price so the day's batch doesn't go to waste.
What's actually inside the box?
The box brings together two slices of pizza al taglio or two maxi focaccias, plus an arancino. The exact line-up depends on what comes out of our kitchen that day, so you'll get either pizza by the slice or focaccia. That makes it both a safe bet and a little tasty surprise — always in true Italian street-food spirit.
What is an arancino?
The arancino (arancini in the plural) is an iconic Sicilian snack: a shaped rice ball, breaded then fried or baked golden, with a melting centre. It's the ultimate Italian street snack. In the Street Food box it rounds out the pizza or focaccia for a full, comforting lunch.
What's the difference between pizza al taglio and regular pizza?
Pizza al taglio is Roman-style pizza by the slice: baked in large trays with a thick, airy crust, then cut into pieces and traditionally sold by weight. You eat it with your hands — perfect for a lunch on the go. It's one of the stars of Italian street food, and one of the two options you might find in this box.
How and when do I collect my Street Food box?
Collection is same-day, in store at Pazzini in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. You order online, get a pickup code, then swing by to grab your box. Because quantities match the day's bake, stock is limited — ordering early is your best bet to bag one.
Why is this box cheaper?
Because it's part of our anti-waste mission. Every day our cooks make a little more than strictly needed so everyone gets served. At the end of service, these perfectly good, homemade items are offered at a reduced price instead of being thrown out. You eat quality Italian for less — and you take real action against food waste in Saint-Maur.
