Into The Cold: The Last Pizza Night of 2015?

It looks like this may be the last pizza night at the Round House Cafe of 2015. The temperature slid into the 30’s tonight, and Scott and Dominick were wrestling with cold fingers, pizza dough that resisted stretching and a wood-fired oven that wanted to cool off. They sold a bunch of pizzas and battled through the cold. Scott isn’t sure if this will be the last pizza night or night, he’ll decide next week.

Maria and I are steeling ourselves for an alternative Friday night dinner. I will probably return to making my own pizzas, I’m not as good as Scott and Dominick, but I’m making headway all the time, and I’ve learned a lot watching these two all this summer. Pizza night is really about community, a passion of my friend Scott. I’ve never seen anyone work so hard and enjoy it so much.
