Pieology

Comments (2) | Sunday, May 25, 2014

There has been some hype surrounding the Pieology chain, and my only regret is not jumping on that bandwagon sooner. I've always been somewhat picky when it comes to pizza, especially when it concerns the crust. Deep dish pizza has always been near and dear to my heart, so much so that I actually scoff at thin crust pizzas. Well, a little.

So you can imagine my reluctance when we went to Pieology a few months ago (yes, I said months). However, having control over what goes on my pizza with the endless possibilities of topping combinations won me over. This is what I came up with for my first time, and  please allow me to toot my own horn, because it was GOOD. (toot, toot!)



This pie had herb butter sauce, garlic, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella and ricotta cheeses. It was a fantastic blending of flavors. Trust me.

Julienne - San Marino

First and foremost, Happy New Year! I realize it's been quite sometime since the last post, so please forgive me for my lack of diligence in maintaining this blog.

This is a throwback post to last Christmas, when my work peeps had our little Christmas get together at Julienne in the quaint, picturesque town of San Marino. It's a charming little place, with ample space for al fresco dining, as well as a private rooms for more intimate celebrations.

The only picture I was able to snag was of my food. It is their Signature Baked Crème Brulée French Toast, served with a fresh strawberry sauce and crème anglaise. It was ooey, gooey sweet, a tiny bit on the soggy side, and definitely needed the tartness of the strawberries to cut through all the richness. Overall a satisfying breakfast treat, but I think next time, I will be more apt to check out the savory side of the menu.
