How much do you value time?
I do this thing with my clock where I set it forward about 10 minutes, so I have that extra cushion in case I do run late. Surprisingly, it keeps working and I never “learn” to re-adjust. I’m either pretty good at fooling myself, or really am quite the fool.
Today’s a little different. It’s Daylights Savings Time. But its the one where you don’t “save” time. Clearly the worse of the two DST’s. Last night I stayed up late, and said to myself “Great, I’ll get about 5 hours sleep. It’ll be a rough morning…but I can always get in nap in later.” It was as I was setting my alarm that I then realized “Wait. Daylights savings time. Wha…well that’s..that’s not fair!“. Now I’m down to four hours. This falls within the “dead zone” of sleep (see graph below). Not getting enough sleep is one of the few things that can get me in a pissy mood.
I’m tired this morning going to Vox. However, I find solace since right after I had the pleasant surprise of a monster pizza showcase. Today’s pizza treat comes from a Mediterranean restaunt Arpeggio Grill, located off Airport, just before you hit Lamar. Close to $30 for each Giant specialty pie, these were a sight to behold. As my friend K describes it, “Pizza Boner” (yes, vulgar… but oddly a fitting way to describe the sight I behled).
———————————-
Alright, we had five pizzas out. I had a chance to sample just two of these beastly slices.
Arpeggio Pizza | Pepperoni, Italian sausage, black olives, red onions, Italian peppers & extra cheese.
Meat-Eater | Pepperoni, beef, Italian sausage, canadian bacon and extra cheese.
You gotta handle these slices differently. If you fold it the standard NY-style length-wise, it looks like a long flimsy dagger. These pizzas required folding from tip-to-crust. Or you could start by eating the drooping edges off the plate first until it’s small enough to hold.
Quick comments: Thesse are tasty pizzas, but it overall had a somewhat generic flavor to it (read: chain pizza). Sauce attributes to the strong flavor, hints of spiciness. I will commend these pizzas for being very generous on toppings. You WILL get filled, and very quickly I might add. I could barely finish the second slice. Dough and crust are on the chewy side.
I’d like to check out their pies fresh out of the oven, and when that time comes I can share a more detailed experience with their pizza.

I’d also like to share that tossing the XL pizza boxes can’t be done in an ordinary trash bin. These boxes are to disposed of in dumpsters, and nothing else.
‘Til next time, pizza friends.
