Pizza?????????


If this was to land on your dinner plate and you were told that this was your supper, would you be happy? Thought not. Okay, maybe if I hadn't burned it, it would look a little more appealing. But there is more to this than just a slightly overdone pizza. There is a you bake pizza place just a block from our place, so the other day I thought we should have one for supper. When I walked in and saw the menu on the board on the wall, I should have turned around, went home and told Chris that the place was closed. Heck, when I saw the on the place I should have walked on by. Zaw? What is that? The only reason I even went in was because it also said "frozen pizza" on the sign out front. I didn't even think that he called frozen pizza, ,,,,zaw. I can't show you the whole menu but I will mention some of the ingredients. You can have fresh ground organic flaxseed on your crust, none of that other poisenous flaxseed. A "naked zaw" is "An elegantly simple blend of mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top of either our organic ruby red tomato sauce or an olive oil glaze." Than you can choose from some of these cheeze, asiago, brie, chevre, gorgonzola, ricotta, and just barely enough other cheese that I could pronounce so that our naked zaw didn't stay that way. Some of the veggies were, cilantro, roasted eggplant, kalamata olives, sage, spinach, roasted zucchini. And again just a couple of regular veggies. Meats, roasted free range chicken, Isernio's spicy chicken sausage which didn't say but I am sure that this would have only been free range organic pot smoking chickens raised on Salt Spring Island, prosciutto, salami, and pepperoni. I don't know what was wrong with the salami and pepperoni. Why it couldn't have a first name or some other declaration. But I thought it sounded just ordinary enough for me so I ordered it. There was some other weird things there, like apples or pears but I didn't think Chris would like them on her pizza, so I gave the man $23 and walked out. There must have been something in the air to make me stupid enough to give the man $23 for this thin fare, (the crust was as thin as a pitta) but I did it and went home like a proud hunter having supplied supper for my family once again. When I got it home and showed it to Chris she just looked at it but didn't say much. The ingredients said to cook it at 425 for 15 min. After 10 min Chris went and looked at it and said I better take it out before it was nothing but a black piece of charcoal. It didn't tasted real bad, I did eat my half. Chris didn't. But if I were to compare it to a Venice pizza, I would say it was worth about $1.60. Sometimes it takes a long time for me to learn things, other times it doesn't. That day I learned that if I want a pizza, and it doesn't say pizza on the sign out front, don't go there.
Sorry this post has nothing about my treatment or anything. It will next time. I just had to tell you t

Oh man that's hilarious!
Someday this will be funny to you too I'm sure! $23.??? For a pizza that you had to cook yourself?? Yikes!
I think it's quite fine that not every post is about your treatment. This was fun and made me think that in spite of all we go through, life will still be ordinary at times.

The Zaw gave me a terrible case of heartburn. I think it is from all the pot those chickens were smoking!

Zaw hey? I'm guessing it's like calling Malibu "The Bu".

Pizza. The Zaw. (Piz-zaw)

Get it?

Christine said...

The menu says:

ZAW
artisan pizza in the raw

I think you are right Becky!

They call pizza zaw in winnipeg too! I must say though that that picture makes my stomach become acrobatic And I actually don't think it's because pretty much any picture of food makes me nauseous right now!

I bet I would have liked the zaw. I go crazy for the brow crust pizza at panago. Imagine what I could do with a zaw.

I need a run in that that park and then have a zaw. Instead I just ran up the stairs to talk to the Canadian Diabetes Association.

That is too funny! Nothing like Venice House pizza that's for sure.
Keep searching, maybe you will find something that adds the Piz to the zaw. Happy hunting!
