Sinatra's Pizzeria in Rome is changing its name after cease-and-desist letter

A Rome pizzeria is being forced to change its name after receiving a cease-and-desist order from the family of a music icon.

Sinatra’s Pizzeria said it was served the cease-and-desist order from the family of Frank Sinatra a few days ago, according to a Tuesday post on Facebook.

“They have been really nice and given me plenty of time to make the change,” the pizzeria said in the social media post. “That said I have always tried to be transparent as possible and connected with our communities and customers that support us. So, we have a couple names that we’re leaning towards but I wanna listen to any suggestions from anyone that might just have the perfect name.”
