Date: 4/20/09
Location: My living room.
In attendnace: Obama, garretthubb, bflo
On the TV: Caps vs. Rangers game 3.
We ordered a Chicago Stuffed Pie from Alberto's. I have several qualms with what happened. First we ordered the pizza as the game started and I didn't arrive until the beginning of the 3rd period (about a 1.5-2 hour delay). I understand that Alberto's is pretty up front about their pizza not getting there quickly, but that was excessive. The dough was solid, good deep dish. However, I felt that the cheese was a little underwhelming. I generally like Alberto's for slices, so I think that they remain an option in that regard, but I am pretty sure I will not order from them again.
On another note, this was as of this point, the only good game the Caps have played in the series. Maybe they will win tonight and force a game 6 in New York, but aside form Monday they haven't played well at all.

bflo eats pizza like he will die, alone.
Date: 4/22/09
Location: 8500 16th St., Apartment 424, Silver Spring, MD
Attending: bflo
Consumed: Giant store brand Rising Crust 4-Cheese Frozen Pizza.
Notes:
I've been trying to be slightly better about eating at home and not eating out so much. Obama posts here, and he will be the first to tell you times are tough. Sometimes this results in me eating less than ideal meals. Last night was no exception.
The store brand also tends to be the cheapest in the freezer. So this is what I bought. As members of our club can attest, I am not a toppings man, so the 4 Cheese was the easy choice. All in all, the pizza was pretty decent, considering what it had going against it, though I probably undercooked it by a minute or two. I had just done a run, so i was feeling pretty good. Unfortunately, i ate the whole pizza by myself in one sitting, since I just might hate leftovers almost as much as toppings. That pretty much cancels out all the hard work i did running.
In conclusion, this consumption was against the spirit of Pizza Club, in that no friends were involved. I ate by myself, then watched the Capitals and Orioles lose. All in all, sort of a bummer of a night.

Pizza Club Goes to Pete's APizza
Date: 4/19/09
Location: 1400 Irving St NW Washington DC
Next to the Columbia Heights Metro and next to DCUSA (every ones favorite part of DC)
Attending: Garretthubb, bflo, brbonner
Purchased: Standard Cheese Pizza, 3 Soft Drinks, spinach salad (garretthubb), house salad (bflo)
Notes:
Initial Pizza Club was attempting to go to Radius in Mt. Pleasant, but they are closed for renovations. We made our way down the road to Pete's. Brbonner and I had both gotten slices here before, but never a whole pie. This was bflo's first time there. The pizza only comes in one size so we got a standard cheese pizza. I was unaware until after looking on the website today that soy cheese was an option, if we had a vegan friend with us.
The seating layout is a little convoluted in Pete's. They have several big tables and a few small ones, and then a bar along the window to sit at. It seems that they bigger tables are intended for either a large party, or for several parties to sit. However, when I tried to sit near a family eating dinner I got the stink eye from one of the daughters so we moved to the bar by the window.
I thought my salad was solid (spinach, pine nuts, goat cheese, dressing and two tomatoes). I think bflo also enjoyed his.
The pizza was definitely good. The crust was crispy and the cheese was hot. I also liked that there were a lot of red pepper and cheese shakers so it was easy to find one to use. The cheese was solid. I would like to go and try a pizza with toppings at some point, and I think that the quality of the cheese pizza was good enough for a second visit.
The biggest downer of the evening was that the members of Pizza club were waiting for our friend Greg. Greg moved to Colorado a few years back and was back in town for work. Unfortunately, Greg was unable to really hang out because his seminar for work and spending time with his family took up his whole weekend. It was a bummer not to see him because we don't see him to often not that he lives 2,000 miles away. Pizza club is not only about delicious food, but more importantly good dudes.

Initial Post
Welcome to the Pizza Club Blog.
Pizza Club is about pizza, friends and good times. We also would like to answer serious questions such as:
"What is the best Pizza Place in DC?"
"What is the best Pizza Place in suburban Maryland?"
"What is the best Pizza Place in Northern Virginia?"
"What is the best Pizza place in Baltimore?" (if we have time)
Sweet times bro!
