Handi and Grant will be playing with Virginia Beach post-punk band Constrictor as they blow their load all over Orlando, Gainesville and Chapel Hill. We will of course be stopping at the raddest [...]

Best Friend’s Day Weekend Pizza Mash-Up
Best Friend’s Day 9 has come and gone, and left all of us in an exhausted daze, hungover from shitty beer and too much pizza. If you are one of those folks who didn’t attend then I’m afraid you missed out on a lot of fun, sans the Hadad’s Hepatitis piss pool, even though some [...]

McDonald’s Pizza
No, no. This is nothing new. Nothing you can actually buy anymore. McDonald’s actually dipped it’s toe in the pizza market in the early/mid 90′s and failed miserably. Check out this commercial. As awesome as the commercial is, you could never, EVER expect this stuff to be any good. Sure, I enjoy a little McDouble [...]

Breakfast Pizza @ Strange Matter
Strange Matter has only been getting better and better as the year goes by. Better food, better menu, better arcades (even if 1945 Strikers II is on a sideways Zenith tv from 1994) and a cute wait-staff. Their breakfast pizza is quite alright too. Granted, it’s just pita bread with egg, bacon, sausage, spinach and [...]

Squirrely Pizza
A sweet suite at the Richmond Flying Squirrels game + free beer + free pizza = pretty awesome, even if baseball is the most boring sport on earth. The pie was downright the worst pizza I’ve ever had. It’s not even up there with Tombstone, or even Kroger brand frozen pizza. The cheese closely resembled [...]

The Intoxicating La Bella Napoli
Generally, when traveling, one seeks to either expand or directly engage their interests, thus, during my stay in Barcelona, I thought it compulsory to find some genuine pizza. Ultimately one of my more memorable, meal-oriented moments in Barcelona was my experience at La Bella Napoli, which seems to be the only overtly Neapolitan pizza establishment [...]

Journey to 2 Amy’s
Hello all— Its been an eventful summer and now that I’ve returned from my spanish sojourn it’s time to get back to pamparius business. My cronies and I visited two pizza establishments after embarking on our journey to Barcelona: 2 Amy’s in DC and a very special place across the pond which will be revealed [...]

More Stuzzi, buffalo milk mozz
Went back to Stuzzi on Friday afternoon and it was packed as usual but there always seems to be a few seats available at the bar which is preferred for a drinker like me. Unfortunately the beer is grossly overpriced which is keeping me from eating here more often. I ordered the margherita with the mozzarella [...]

8 1/2 still the best
While we have been raving about Stuzzi and Belly Timber lately, sometimes we have to go back to the best of the best. 8 1/2 still can not be touched. The flavors and aromas that come out of these pies are beautiful and their style is their own. No brick oven needed. I split this [...]

Just a few good words on Belly Timber
Since my initial visit to Belly Timber the pizza has gotten better with each trip. The last couple of slices I had there were the bacon pizza and the basil/capers pizza. While I’m not a fan of the sweet, caramelized bacon they use, the pies are looking and tasting better from the crust up. I’m seeing and [...]

Pizza Summer
So today was the first day of summer and also happened to be Go Skateboarding day. A few weeks back, Braden was telling me about a past summer where he and some friends tried to eat pizza every day for the summer. He said most of those involved gave up a little over a month [...]
