Biscuit Crust

A few weeks ago, the two Snoos and two bes had a Queens night out. Looking through our giant Western Queens menu collection, we settled on nearby Pizzeria Uno close to Kaufman-Astoria Studios and the movie theater. Since moving here, i've only eaten at Pizzeria Uno once - there are so many excellent places to eat in New York you don't have to resort to chains - but our experience was quite a good one i wouldn't mind eating there more regularly.

First of all, being from the suburbs, i used to frequent Pizzeria Uno at the mall in VA. I loved their desserts, house salad and vegetarian pizza selections. I still absolutely love their deep dish pizza crust, which is a flaky, buttery, biscuity piece of excellence that i wouldn't mind eating just on its own! It's the only non-thin crust pizza i like.

be ordered off their "summer menu" and opted for the Farmer's Fresh pizza, which included eggplant, sundried tomato, pesto, feta - and no onions. He really enjoyed his pie even though he was so busy talking he only ate half of a personal size. Shap created his own personal pie with sausage and other toppings while Cristin and i shared a large Spinoccoli (spinach, broccoli and fresh garlic) pie. They made a mistake and brought out a personal size instead, but the manager apologized and later brought out a large pie as well, but only charged us for the small. Total pizza and soda overload!

Back at our place, we played SET for hours. It's my favorite card game ever: super addictive and will leave you dreaming of 3 red solid squiggles or 2 clear green diamonds. Darian taught us all how to play back in 2003. The office was essentially a SET tournament the entire summer; nearly all of the staff and interns bought a deck of SET cards and be even bought numerous decks to teach his students how to play too. Definitely check it out if you like visual perception games.
