The Tarantosaurus Pizza From Taranto’s In Ohio Is So Big, It Could Feed An Entire Family

I have four kids who have four big appetites. This can make for a big bill when we go out to eat as a family -- not to mention, finding a place that caters to each of my kids' preferences is no easy feat. Pizza, however, is something we can all agree upon, but... what to top it with? How many should we order? There are so many factors. Unless, of course, we go big and order the Tarantosaurus Pizza from Taranto’s. True to its name, this epic 'za is 29" big and feeds 15-20 people -- or, you know, a family of six that includes four hungry kiddos.

I have four kids with four different palates that fluctuate as dramatically as the weather here in Ohio, but there's one thing they all agree on, always, and it's pizza.

I'm not alone -- pizza is a universal love language that's a major crowd pleaser -- especially with families. Whether you order a classic cheese or pepperoni, prefer red sauce or white, enjoy deep dish or wood-fired Neapolitan, there's pizza for every palate and preference...

...but in Ohio, no one does "family style" pizza better (or bigger) than Taranto's.

Taranto's has been slinging pies to hungry folks in Greater Columbus since 2000, opening on, appropriately, Super Bowl Sunday that year.

Since then, the pizzeria has earned the love and adoration of foodies and pizza fans far and wide, who come for the 'zas and the ambiance...

...but especially the 'zas. Because in addition to a robust array of classic pizzeria favorites, Taranto's has a signature pizza that's a true showstopper: the Tarantosaurus.

The Tarantosaurus Party Pizza is 29 inches of pure pizza perfection, hand-tossed (how??), topped with all the ingredients you could possibly want, cut party-style, and then served to a group of up to 20 people.

Yes -- 20 people! The Tarantosaurus is billed as a party pizza fit for 15-20 hearty appetites -- and they mean it. Many families have tried to conquer this epic pie and then realized the cheese-topped Goliath they were up against... but that's okay.

Because, even better than a hot and delicious pizza dinner, is the promise of leftovers the next day. Taranto's pizza packed in your kiddo's lunch box? That's amore!

For hungry families looking for a restaurant in Ohio that'll make everyone happy, there's really one option: the Tarantosaurus Pizza from Taranto’s!
