Dinner with Jules: Ho’pep’za

The other night, Julia and I ordered a take out pizza from very vegan-friendly Dimo’s in Chicago, and while I enjoyed some cold for a satisfying, late night dinner later on, she never got to partake.

This past Saturday, the nondairy cheese industry rejoiced as thousands of vegans gripped their stomachs in post-vegan-pizza-overload. I celebrated (or supported said vegan-friendly industries) by enjoying the greasy heck out of a slice of breakfast pizza at Sizzle Pie, which I can’t get enough, and by assembling some English Muffin pizzas for hungry friends later on … Continue reading »
