    Nice pics and the pizza looks great. Of course, now I want some wood-fired pizza for lunch and there’s nothing even close nearby my work. :/

    Last night was too much fun, wasn’t it? It was lovely sharing delicious food and conversation at the table with you and Henry. Still thinking about the zucchini-anchovy pizza, the Margherita, the cookies and yogurt blueberry pops. I’m due back later this week. Can’t wait!

    The pizzas were quite good, and I expect them to be even better once Brandon gets everything running smoothly! I think their lengthy soft-opening is a very smart idea.

    Viv: Last night was so enjoyable! My favorites were the zucchini-anchovy and the Margherita too! (And the raw corn on the salad!) You and your hubby are the sweetest couple ever!

    Your husband looks anxious waiting for the food and you look happy with the wine. :)

    What’s on the Brooklyn?

    The pizza looks great. I know one of the things I’ll most most about Japan is the Neapolitan-style pizza, so I really wish we had a Delancey in Winnipeg!

    No chile-infused olive oil? Better than chile flakes, I think. Maybe you could suggest it, so by the time I get to Seattle they’ll have some for me. :-)

    Rona: a Brooklyn is a pizza that Brandon said was inspired by DiFara. It has mozzarella and Grana Padano, tomato, and basil. (Chili-infused olive oil sounds delicious!)

    Rona: oops, sorry, realized I forgot to photograph the Brooklyn. IIRC, I was chatting at another table ;-)

    Congratulations on your new restaurant! I will make sure to visit you as my husband works for American Seafoods in Seattle as a commercial fisherman and I “see him off” each January. We always like to try new, interesting restaurants and I will make this a definite must when I come up. Good Luck to you! Gerry
