Week 27: Summer Vegan BBQ
No one could have prepared me for BBQ on pizza. I mean, both are great. But together? It was incredible. Pau Gasol There’s something about late summer that calls for the flavor of barbeque. As a lifelong vegetarian this was not a flavor I grew up with. Recently I’ve come to like the novelty ofContinue reading “Week 27: Summer Vegan BBQ”
Week 13: Something New
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what kind of pizza is for lunch. — Orson Welles This week we wanted to try something radically new.

Week 12: Il Diavolo

You just want to try a bunch of stuff, because you don’t know what’s going to be great. ~ Ira Glass The Birth of an Idea In searching for new recipes for our weekly blog, recipes for “Thai Pizza with Peanut Sauce” kept coming up. It sounded odd and I’ve never seen anything like itContinue reading “Week 8: Experimental”
Week 7: Valentino
Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about pizza. ~ Nicholas Sparks (first draft, later revised) How lucky that this year Valentine’s Day fell on a Friday.

Week 6: Celebration
Anyone who says that money cannot buy happiness has clearly never spent their money on pizza. ~ Andrew W.K. In celebration of National Pizza Day, we wanted to do something special.
