4th of July

Every 4th of July we take an oath to turn off the pizza ovens and celebrate our country’s independence along with everyone else. After all, everyone is firing up the grill. No one wants pizza. So we take advantage of our day off by throwing our annual company picnic. And no…we don’t serve pizza. We fire up a grill (or two…or three), just like everyone else. While the weather was nothing like what we’ve experienced the rest of this week, we faced the cooler temps at Golden Gardens, grilled a bunch of proteins and put on our annual Pizzalympic games. Who folds the fastest box in all of Pagliacci? Emory Liu from Miller Delivery Kitchen. Who tossed the fastest 17” pizza? Adrian Aramburu from Bellevue Pizzeria. Who tossed the biggest dough in 45 seconds? Brady Madsen from 85th Street. What location rocked the teamwork in our crazy relay race? Ballinger Way Delivery Kitchen. What location muscled their way to tug-of-war champs? Lake City Way pulled out the win and will reign supreme until next year.
