Known for its authentic pastas and Roman-style pizza, or pizza al taglio, San Marzano is adding something new to its menu starting Monday, Dec. 10: free delivery. San Marzano hails its pizzas as "slow fast food." It's all about the dough. The dough is nurtured lovingly by chef Joseph Petracca, for a minimum of 72 long, laborious hours before baking.

The chef, who has owned two restaurants previously, one in England and one in Italy, most recently worked with Mario Batali. Petracca, who serves as the resident pizza purveyor, trained in Rome for three months to perfect his dough, which he allows to rise…
