pizza pals: valentines day edition

As much as I love an excuse to buy pressies and have an excuse to decorate everything in hearts I kinda think valentines day is overrated. Crowded restaurants with over priced fixed menus and cranky waiters really isn't my thing. So last year the Boyf and I decided to make papa johns heart shaped pizza paired with a bottle of champagne our little tradition.

Last year I was so excited for said pizza I didn't care how it was going to taste. This year I was disappointed. I can't say we ever get papa johns because there isn't one close enough for delivery, but the pizza was a joke. It was the consistency of cardboard and the toppings were sparse. Not to mention it only vaguely resembled a heart. Such is life. Next year I'm inspired to make our own heart shaped pizza. :)

I threw on my sequin skirt just for the sake of feeling fancy when we picked up the pizza. But put on my red polka dot pajamas as soon as we got home.

So things weren't all that bad. The champagne was good and I cried like a baby when we watched 50/50. Which I thought was going to be a comedy. Haha.

pizza pals: bison creek pizza

its no secret that i have an unhealthy obsession love pizza.  i could seriously eat it a few times a week and not get sick of it (which actually happened over the weekend, oops).  fortunately the boyf loves it as much as i do!  we've always joked about our fictitious blog that we dubbed pizza pals.  our fake blog was going to be about us eating our way through the various pizza parlors in and around town.  since i'm always taking photos of my food i figured why not make this a semi-reoccuring segment right here on the blog.  because lets be honest i can barely maintain this one, let alone attempt two blogs.  

last friday we decided to hit up an old favorite of mine - bison creek pizza.  but before we filled our bellies we hit up the local thrift store.  sadly we came out empty-handed so i was looking forward to pizza to raise my spirits.  i've been going here since i was little with my family and it hasn't changed much since.  i remember my parents always telling me about how there used to be an organ in the restaurant when they were teenagers (some interwebing turned up that it used to be a movie house).  they have lots of big booths, awesome micro beer on tap (i had to have a jolly roger while its still around) and a nice patio if with weathers permitting.  

we usually order a half of the district #2 fire house special and half home on the range (no olives!)  their pizza has a medium thickness, slightly chew crust and not too sauce heavy.  i'll admit its a little on the cheesy side but sometimes i like a good greasy pizza.  a large is just over 20 bucks and its enough for leftovers.  :)  the only downside is that its a family friendly restaurant so expect to see lots of screaming children running around on a friday night. 

during the week they also have all you can eat pizza and salad!
