I love when guys get choked up and nervous when they meet Dave. Kids heart rate was exploding. It's not the intimidation thing, but a chance for you to show the world you can compete with the best of the best for pizzas and a moment for you to be proud of forever if he likes it. Pizza makers are just ants on a farm putting in hard work as there are tens of thousands of them and this is their moment and it's really cool to witness. Not sure lots of people realize how much work goes into these types of businesses sometimes. Those 2 brothers will be able to brag about this moment as long as their business exists. This was a great one.

I have a soft spot in my heart after seeing the sacrifices they made and the amount of hours it took for them just to survive.

I hope that is still on the menu these days. It was Shrimp, scallops and crab meat in a pink sauce over linguini or fettuccini. I have to get there soon now. The place was always welcoming. I saw a brief glimpse of his dad who I think was running it when I visited. (About 20 years ago) There was another relative who I'd see regularly that was awesome. If I didn't visit for a while, he'd always says, where've you been?" This family is really good to their customers.
