It is that time of year when the Chief Pizza Eater gets to be another year older, rounder and shorter. That means birthday pizza.
I had a couple of places in mind, but one was surrounded by the Mardi Gras celebration and the other I found out was no longer in business. So after a bit of back and fourth I decided on Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood, MO.

While doing our weekly Grocery Shopping I had a moment of weakness, and found a Culinary Circle Ultra Thin Crust Margherita Pizza (and a Ultra Thin Pepperoni Pizza, but it's still in the freezer. 2 for $5 what can I say...) in the grocery bag when I got home. Not a brand from my youth, but what the heck.

Today when the Chief looks back on his misspent youth he has fond memories of Frozen Pizza. So going forward from time to time he will revisit his youth and throw some Frozen Pizza your way.
Can it ever be as good as it was?

Cold pizza for breakfast is staple of mine during the Binge season, but sometimes I do crave for a little more. So I teamed up with LeenaTV to come up with better use of leftover pizza and I think we have a winner.
Highly recommended.
