After five nights straight of social engagements, I was more than ready to indulge my solitary tendencies with a night in. So I grabbed my favorite companion for a night of food, movies and PJs. When I said pizza, she was more than happy to oblige.
Though I've definitely spent many evenings eating out of cardboard containers, hosting yourself is a valuable opportunity to try something new before rolling it out to friends and family, and to have a nice evening devoid of small talk and extra dirty dishes. I try to make my evenings alone a little nicer with good food... and obviously wine.
I've been a longtime skeptic of Homemade Pizza Co. - if I wanted to make my own food, I would just make my own food and not pay someone. But after hearing from several respectable people that it's slightly better than my usual homemade pizza (Tombstone), I decided to discontinue knocking it until I tried it.
We started with the cheese bread... Hazel thought it was okay.
I liked it too (though my kitchen timer was broken so I overcooked it - see? Domino's never does this). But it was the pizza that won me over. The seasonal special, the Marinata, was delicious - I'll let them describe it: "Our all-natural prosciutto with marinated grape tomatoes, creamy chèvre & fresh chives on an olive oil base." Yum.
I only wish I had gotten the cookie.
After dinner, we watched 50/50 - which was distinctly not funny and actually very sad, but the carbs and long week got to us.
