But before we get into it, let's breakdown one of Americas Favorite Foods:
PIZZA!!!!
Some say Pizza is unhealthy....
Well I say, if you have people like that in your life...
Unfriend them.
Unfollow them.
And tell that Doctor of yours to go to hell!
O.k., o.k., don't do that. =)
But don't believe everything that they tell you just because they say that your cholesterol is "high" and that you need to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.
So after telling my Doctor to go to...
Oh never mind ;)
I decided, hey maybe he's right, maybe I do need to add more fruits and veggies into my life.
And this...
Is where Two Doughs Pizza comes into play!
But first, let's go back to my youth.
To my fellow 80's kids out there...
Who remembers learning about the infamous food pyramid in school back in the 90's?
You know the one that recommended 6-11 servings of bread, rice, or pasta, 3-5 servings of Vegetables, 2-4 servings of Fruits, 2-3 servings of Dairy, 2-3 servings of Protein and a sparingly amount of fats, oils, sweets...
Yeah, I know you know exactly what I'm referring to.
Well just like I paid attention when I was in school, I do pay close attention to my wife.
And after being married for almost 11 years now, I'm pretty well tuned into how "Girl Math" works.
And if my math is correct, 6-11 servings of "bread" equates to a minimum of at least 6 slices of pizza right?
Makes perfect sense to me.
As for my Doctors orders...
More Fruits & Veggies...
Yes Sir, You got it!!
Tomatoes which make up the tomato sauce.
I'm still not sure if the damn things are considered Fruits or Veggies, haha.
Add some Pineapple, throw on some mushrooms, artichoke hearts, onions, green peppers...
Then cover your pie with lots and lots of mozzarella cheese (they did say 2-3 servings of Dairy) and finally, top it off with some cured Pepperoni for your Protein.
And just to ensure we got in our 3-5 recommended servings of veggies...
We ordered Two Doughs Amazing Chopped Salad which was loaded with fresh seasonal greens, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, pickled red onions, pepperoncini's, Kalamata olives, carrots , shaved salami, & provolone topped with a Champagne Honey Vinaigrette....
Let's just say, the salad is a Winner!
And just like that, we were eating Healthy and getting in our recommended servings according to the Food pyramid's recommendations.
But, But Lance....
You only had pineapple. The minimum serving size for fruits is two servings, not just one.
Ahh good point!
But don't you worry...
We did order a side of grapes. Fermented grapes. Squished, Fermented grapes served in a beautiful glass bottle...
Ok, you caught me.
It was Wine, we ordered a bottle of wine =)
Speaking of ordering...
Orders are placed at the counter and then they bring you everything once it's ready. The afternoon we went, all tables inside were taken so we found a nice table outside with shade.
Everything was so delicious, we almost ordered another pizza as our kids went to town on the first one, but we opted to be good.
The Pizza is definitely made with love and doesn't taste anything like those "corporate chain" pizzas...
And now that we've had it, we totally understand the local hype around this place and we now know, we will for sure be coming back.
My only question now is, I wonder if they sell gift cards.
I kind of owe my Doctor an apology ;)
So...
Who's down for 6-11 slices, errr I mean servings of pizza?
