The L Words

The L Word Pizza

The day after my hat conundrum, Erin and I returned to Homeslice.  Clare greeted me with a friendly “Why Seth, so good to see you again.  And wearing the same t-shirt as yesterday.”

Ryan and Jessie were along for the ride and deferred to us on the toppings choice.  We started playing around with the idea of ordering only toppings that contained a certain letter.  First we started with vowels, but quickly saw that the pizzas would be a little too crazy.  Not for me, mind you, but for the staff, who would balk.  After throwing a few letters out and seeing what stuck, we settled on the letter L.  The L word pizza had fresh mozzarella, broccoli, basil, garlic, fried eggplant, Italian sausage, meatballs (both for Jessie and Ryan, not Erin and I), black olives, green olives and kalamata olives.  We decided to cheat a little and pass on the chopped clams, despite their annoying possession of an L.

The pizza tasted great, the L words made a potent collection of flavorful, intense toppings, despite or perhaps because of the basil being unintentionally left off.  It ended up costing $35.25, which marks a new record for us, so that was exciting.  Over twice the cost of a large “tried and true” combo!

I forgot my camera, so their iphone (I refuse to capitalize the p, I’m tired of Apple’s schtick) camera shot of the pizza, with the letter L spelled out with a fork and knife, will have to suffice.
