Stuzzi Stunnin'

Today Monday June 20th (7 days til Angeli's Bday & 19 days til PB's Bday), we FINALLLLLY made it to the famous but mysterious STUZZI dolla dolla pizza night . Yahtzee!!!!!!

We have been very excited about this day and we had to overcome soo .....sooo many obstacles to get here. And you may ask yourself"what kind of obstacles stood in your way in Carytown?". Well since you asked, numero uno: This dolla dolla  pizza night only works if you sit at the bar WHICH we were not informed of and did NOT receive the deal the first time we went. Numero due*: Mondays are a bad night for us, Memorial Day, CMA meetings etc... But we will say this.. every bite was worth the wait.


Lets give you some background here, Stuzzi's pride themselves on serving only  Vera (real) Neapolitan pizza (VPN) or DOC Pizza. This pizza is so pure that there are only a handful of restaurants in the US that can be certified like Stuzzi's. To top off their specialness, they are the only one of their kind in VA. Oh Oh and if that wasn't cool enough their pizzas are prepared in a specifically constructed ovens using VOLCANO LAVA from Vesuvius in Naples. Hellllsss yes we are talking volcano pizza AND IT WAS ONLY A DOLLLLLLLLA!

Sorry for our over excitement but we have been waiting for this moment what felt like FOREVA. Okay now the details. The pizza special is only on Mondays from 5-7, you must sit at the bar, only works with a purchase of a drink (which can be non alcoholic) AND they don't have any drink specials. With that said its a tough sell but when the 9" pizza comes out, in just minutes it is soooo worth it. yummmers

We weren't expecting something so large ( oh course you know its coming... That's what she said) But honestly if Angeli was serious about going to Cancun in less then a month... we could of split it. But she acts like she is eating for due* and proceeded to eat part of PB's (like she isn't malnourished enough)..  sorry for that side bar.

 With a possible $2.87 bill this HAPPY HOUR SPECIAL knocked it out of the park (Just like Big Papi**)

All in all Both PB & Angeli give it DUE* Thumbs up (apparently Americans are the only ones who say or have thumbs)

*ps  Due means 2 in Italian DUH
** This doesn't mean our blog directly supports the Boston Red Sox.

Keep it Classy Can Can

I know you all missed us but we are backkkkkkk with a vengeance.

Today we tried to class it up a bit... rep some CMA (Carytown Merchant Association, and if ya don't know now ya know).  A cool block and 1/2 from our office... we didn't even break a sweat or should we say sueur (thats french for.. well sweat). Angeli went all American and made off with the GRANDE happy hour special of $6 cheeseburgers, granted she did use gruyere cheese and a large heaping of frites which means she got a little European. PB on the other hand, who is all about the finer things in life (as long as they are cheap that is) invested her taste buds in 6 succulent shrimp and 6 snotty oysters. YUM to the  ERS. Angeli would like to take this moment to give a shout out to f-nutz who paid her bill and the sweet tarragon aioli that made her burger melt.

We actually stumbled upon this wondering Happy Hour by accident. In our experience classy establishments such as The Can Can, don't do happy hour .If they do, its like getting drinks at regular price which is not our scene, until about 1:30 a.m. Well not only did that shock us with actually having a happy hour they also have a special every week and the weekends! Wu What??? That is right happy hour on weekends and here is the kicker.... LUNCH!

To top of the delicieux, our bartender Rich kept the $4 drafts a coming (that's what she said) and schooled us in the art of the oyster. A regular Fish MONGER!

Even if they hadn't given us free bread, both PB & Angeli would have given it duex thumbs up yo!
