Came with free beer too. :pimp :1orglaugh

Fuck yeah Free Pizza :)

Looks good - And free beer!..

Sorry to burst your fantacy, the food looks OK, but he is not the personal chef of any of those celebs. They might have visited his restaurant, but thats it

Then you know who the chef is then and the name of those celebs chef?..

Damn that looks great!

i'll take anything free...

Shut your trap hobbyist.

The owner (Richard Florczak) - Yes I know him. First time I heard about him, was a SEO spam event for his Book. A few years ago when I was I Cali, I went to his place in Reseda. The food was good, but he is fake as hell, and just want to sell his book/name/get on TV

this look like good pizza

and what has this pizza? I prefer simple things... only cheese, ham, beacon...

Looks awesome ...

Looks awesome

The cornicione of that pie is shockingly large. But the price is right.

That pizza looks tasty

wow, looks amazing!

name dropper :winkwink:

Free pizza and free beer? Can't beat that. Looks freaking awesome.

Free beer and free pizza...lucky guy :thumbsup

Wow that looks delicious!

looks delicious, brewski

Can't tell whether it's hot or not in the pic. Not a big deal as long as the beer is cold.

I was waiting for your input ...

For Mel's sake hope the chef wasn't Jewish.

Interesting - you would think the celebs might be chiming in about his name dropping



Again, pretty interesting since the owners told me they opened 8 months ago and this seems to back their story:

Let's see if I can remember it all as I always let goodgirl handle the food end of things.

We had THE MARGHERITA as the base: Tomato sauce with fresh mozzarella and fresh local basil. Then added Fennel Sausage, fresh garlic and roasted mushrooms.

Perhaps from the 750 degree wood burning oven? I am not a cook, so just guessing.


Contrary to Furus' allegations, this guy was the personal chef to the guys mentioned and they are featured on their website. They have had a couple of them act as guest bartender. One owner told me that he wants to get Mel as a guest bartender but they need to figure out how to keep him from drinking on the job. :1orglaugh

how much is that pizza regularly?

According to the website, the base pizza is $16 and the add-ons would total an additional $8 (sausage and mushrooms are $3; the garlic $2)

That gourmet garlic is expensive. I can get half a pound of peasant garlic for $2.

I am sticking with my theory as this is another wood burning oven pizza

:1orglaugh You're right, that is some expensive garlic; they must shop at Whole Foods.

Looks like a pizza... making me hungry.

Better than just free; look at this list

Too much crust :(

The crust was full of air; it was puffy from the heat inside. Trust me, I don't particularly care for pizza but we devoured that thing ... crust and all.

Take that back!

Everybody likes pizza!

Very generous by you, now im hungry

That looks soooooooooooo good!

My $5 hot n ready pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar's would taste just like that.

Happy to oblige!

That was my thinking - way too much crust (or cornicione as we call it in the trade). In all fairness, the crust looked HUGE on viewing on my phone - looking at it on a large screen the crust seems appropriate.

And yes, Baddog - usually this style of pizza will have a larger crust as it is light and airy as opposed to NY style which is more dense and bread-like.

The pizza business (like any business) is very competitive. Everyone exaggerates. A good backstory helps get customers in the door.

He's got great reviews on Yelp - pretty much all with the same theme: really good pizza, overpriced. If he really is making all of the pizzas himself like he says he is, then kudos to him. To me eating at a "celebrity" chef restaurant where said celebrity isn't in the kitchen is like watching a Broadway play with the understudy filling in for the star.

Nah, he was there and I was introduced to him. Seemed likeable even when I told him I almost didn't come because I don't really like pizza.

Doesn't every Yelper complain about price? :)

free pizza? count me in

Look's good :thumbsup
Chicago I can get a good pie at a handful of places, every year when I travel down to Florida not so easy to do, have only found one place so far I dig down there. :2 cents:

Chicago is famous for deep dish, what is your take on those?

I'm a thin crust guy but plenty of spots here for both. :2 cents:

Baddog is the expert when it comes to beer. I have seen him post more different kids of beer than pussy combined on this board and by the way Baddog where did all your post go? I thought you had like 50K and now you have 6000, What is with that?

I sell them to people that want to build their count level

I was told you got caught using a post bot and they took away what they thought the bot posted but I guess you could have sold them too.

I offered some of mine for sale today, business is brisk !:2 cents::thumbsup

Better than bitcoins, that's for sure.

I was told you had 50k+ posts and sold them for a Coke cause girl snatched da ATM card and da bank was closed on a Holiday. :winkwink:

Looks good...

Remember I commented a while go that IPA was considered 'an old man's drink' in the UK or words to that effect - It was when you went to that Guinness show and they had a Nitro IPA - Anyway, I take it all back, I went into a bottle shop for the first time in a while and looked - There are loads - It has really taken off and become fashionable again.....
