Pizzicato Eastside. No delivery, but it’s right next to the Wild Oats/Whole Foods we needed to swing by anyway. We ordered it par-baked (as recommended by the folks at Pizzicato) because we’d be walking almost a mile before we could eat it, and especially trying out a new place, I wanted to give it the [...]

With the move to Portland, these things might be around, but I’ll need some time to figure it all out. I did find Tofurky [...]
