So far, so so so so good.
We have a new NUMBER THREE.
Tomatoes Apizza has trumped Holly's Red Devil for the number three spot in Pizza Club's most cherished pies.
We went to Tomatoes Apizza on Halsted last week, and it was absolutely fabulous! Minions Dan Lee and Brittany Read were in attendance, as all five of us squeezed into Elle's tiny-ass car. It's okay, we all love each other.
We ordered their bread, and three pies: White, Green, and Classic + pepperoni.
They were so good that I may still be drooling over them. The thin crust, the insane amount of garlic, and those pepperonis... we all know how I feel about thick pepperonis that curl on a pizza. Dude. Heaven.
As much as I loved the classic + pepperonis, the green pizza, which is loaded with spinach BLEW MY EFFING MIND.
The only downside was that the crust, to me, was a little too crispy (somewhat burnt), which makes me sad. Chris and Elle loved it, though.
Totally awesome and unique pizza. Closest you can get it to authentic pizza without being in Italy, apparently. Or grandma Delicata's kitchen. Which I have also had recently... not to brag or anything...
We decided to give Tomatoes Apizza a 4.77! Which means we now have a new third place!
1. Antonious of Rochester - 4.9
2. Loui's of Hazel Park - 4.8
3. Tomatoes Apizza 4.77
Also, our server was a doll, props to ya, lady!

2011? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR
Yellow errbody,
2010 was a great year for the Pizza Club. We had more homemade meetings than ever before, we celebrated the wedding of the Vice President and the Secretary/Historian/Treasurer with the biggest Pizza Club meeting EVER (more deets later), we found a rock n' roll pizzeria close to home, and the best thing (according to me): We got a Kitchen Aid Mixer, so all of that pizza dough kneading by hand, it's now a thing of the past. JKJKJK, it wasn't the best, the biggest meeting was.
On October 14, 2010, Christopher and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Antonious in Rochester, our favorite place. They offered us a buffet-style dinner with bread and PIZZA and lovely things. We had our parents, the most excellent minions, which now includes Beth and Rick because they paid for the best meeting evaaaar, Kaitlyn, Matt, Tommy, Anthony, Aaron, the Lamings, and the Groesbecks (all the way from the big CO). We even oh-so-stealthily put up a Pizza Club button on their curtains without anyone noticing... we still have yet to check if it's still there, we forgot to check last time we went! We gave them a 'thank you' card with our picture... We're such nerds that we hope they'll frame it and put it up on their wall.
A great time was had by all! And the wedding, OH, the wedding. Such good times. We all looked so foxy and fresh.
We found a place called PIZZALLICA. Yes, you read that correctly. The place is awesome. Prices are a little high, but it's all specialty pizzas (Check out the White Stripe, you won't be sorry), and their shit is delicious.
A trip to Tomatoes Apizza is in order, and we will share our rating with you later, alligators.
LOVE! :)

Way to go Pizza Club! ... Not!
Our New Year's resolution in 2009 was to eat more pizza. I believe that we did eat more pizza, including a super duper Pizza Club meeting on my 21st birthday at my house. BUT, I don't believe we had enough official meetings.
We also haven't update our blog in about a year. We fail. We apologize.
Due to the Pizza Club lacking funds, our meetings were mainly confined to homemade meetings... which truly are the best because we have one very special ingredient those other places don't have...
LOVE.
-ahem-
Enough of that lovey, dovey shit.
Let's go over the accomplishments of the Pizza Club during our 3rd year of existance.
1. President Elle made official buttons! If you come to a meeting, you'll most likely get one.
2. We developed a new form of minions: The Most Excellent Minions. Aka mom and dad. Because let's be honest: They fund the meetings they attend and deserve extra special credit.
3. I just yesterday found a newspaper clipping from my junior year of high school when I was a "Star Athlete" of the week in the Times Herald. My favorite food? "My grandmother's pizza"! I know, I'm pretty amazing.
4. Speaking of my grandma's pizza, my grandpa, at the ripe old age of 82, has decided that HE HATES MY GRANDMA'S PIZZA all of a sudden. I believe he is just crazy. I mean, he does talk about kicking animals and how all doctor's know "nothing about nothing".
5. President Elle has also been developing a recipe for beer dough for the crust. Stay tuned.
6. Found the most amazing pizza buffet! Brooklyn Pizza in Birmingham, MI. Mondays and Tuesdays after 5pm, they reduce their ridiculously high prices for a $6.99 all you can eat pizza, salad, homemade ice cream, gelato, and sorbetto, and soda. They have a big iron pizza slice for a door handle, oregano and garlic powder within reach anywhere you are in the restaurant (big plus for meee), and pizza from a brick oven. Talk about yummy. I give that place a 4.6.
7. We also realized at the aforementioned meeting that we need a rubric for this pizza-grading business.
We're planning our 4th anniversary meeting for sometime next week. :)
Love,
Patrice

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!
Today we set out to Holly, MI for some pizza that our aunt and uncle suggested to us. We met up at the Red Devil, which was in a really cute downtown area, but the inside looked like a scuzzy pizza joint. HOWEVER, the food surprised us greatly. In attendance was, of course, the official members, duh, and mom and dad, our most excellent minions, and our minions Aunt Michelle, Uncle Nick, Lauren and Michael. We ordered three pizzas: The Veggie Supreme, a Deluxe pizza, and the typical pepperoni/pineapple for Lauren and I.
The crust was fantastic... so nice and crispy on the edges, but soft where it needed to be.
The toppings were great, fresh cheese, mmmmmmmm! Lost points on the canned mushrooms, though.
The sauce has an interesting taste. So our uncle went and asked what was in it. Elle and I agreed it may have ginger in it, she also thought it was slightly clove-ish. The cook informed us that it's a secret family recipe, the guy that made it actually had it in HIS WILL. Only two people know what it is. And there is no ginger in it. Major props to them for keepin' it old school, but to Elle and I, it was just too peppery and not the best ever. Chris loved it, though.
We gave the Red Devil a rating of 4.55 out of 5. AKA damn good pizza. So far that's the third best rating we've had!
So, as of now, these are our top three pizza places!
#1 - Antonious Towne Square Pizza, Rochester Hills, MI, 4.9
#2 - Loui's Pizza, Hazel Park, MI, 4.8
#3 - Red Devil, Holly, MI, 4.55
It was a fantastic meeting though, I'm pretty sure most excellent minion dad ate more than six slices of pie, so we were proud.

srsly?
April 15th, 2009 will mark the 3rd anniversary of our beloved Pizza Club.
President Elle wants us to have a whole pizza day, where we travel around to various pizza hot spots in Metro Detroit, get a small pizza at every place, and do a ridiculous pizza critique day. I think it sounds pretty rad. Only thing I'm concerned about: how the hell are we going to pay for all of this pizza plus our servers' tips?
I'm sure we'll figure it out.
The Pizza Club should have a checking account. Hahaha.
Also, when I was at work last week, a young couple came in, and we were talking about food. The topic of pizza came up, and we began talking about Pizza Club (no joke, I asked them if they knew anywhere really good, as they sounded like they knew a lot about good pizza). I asked them if they knew where good Chicago deep dish was, and the guy informed me that Uno's Pizza in Sterling Heights tastes EXACTLY the same as the ORIGINAL UNO'S IN CHICAGO. He said him and his buddies go to Chicago and eat there all of the time for the experience, but the pie tastes the same there as it does in good ol' Michigan.
Good to know.
Until next time, greasy pizza lovers!
Patrice
