Okay, based on these three comments, it sounds like Tuesday, August 31st is a good date to choose. Let's wait for others to chime in tomorrow, but that's my proposal for now. Edan, can you give us some details as to pricing, menu, etc.? Attention New Members: The time for you to join us for an event is now. You'll be welcomed as family, even if you're coming solo. I plan on coming to this event as well, so hopefully I'll be able to break bread with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizza man Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Yeah, so tentatively I was thinking any of the Antipasti that are $7 or less, any pizza that is under $18, (all of them except for 3), half an order of Cannoli, (one stuffed shell, stuffing of your choice) - Fer USA $20. I could include the specials of the day under the same conditions, or if there was demand/interest, Kevin and I could come up with some other stuff that may be a little more special, but would require everyone to have the same thing. What's important, really, is the pizza *edit* I forgot the soft drink. That comes with the $20, bottled soda and booze is extra.. ETA: Chef was thinking of providing some family-style antipasti to pass around and enjoy pre-dinner, to jazz the table up a bit. Edited August 19, 2010 by goodeats technical difficulties.

Ericandblueboy Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 May I suggest $20 for all you can eat pizza and dessert for those who want it? You serve a variety of pizzas (none of which would cost more than $18 each) until everyone cries uncle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweaked Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 My suggestion: several family style passed platters of antipasti several pizzas passed family style if we had dessert I personally would be more interested in gelato than cannoli whatever makes sense to chef food (and money) wise.

pizza man Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 So, after having read some comments, Here is the best course of action from my perspective.. Menu: Set Antipasti-to be determined the week prior to the event, served family style Papa Al Pomodoro-Virginia Tomatoes, house made sourdough Pizze-to be ordered after soup, (y'all can order however you see fit, and maybe we will throw in a simple pizza or 2) House made Cannoli, (1 shell each), Or could do doughnuts.. The Gelato is really good, but we get it from Dolcezza, so... That's out. Yer feedback will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think that's a good plan, Edan, and those that want to share pies with their neighbors can arrange that at the table. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think closer to an hour is more realistic during rush hour. You have a strong likelihood of being in stop-and-go traffic for the entire length of 495.

I think closer to an hour is more realistic during rush hour. You have a strong likelihood of being in stop-and-go traffic for the entire length of 495. It'll be more than an hour, if the map takes you on Broad Street, Route 7. It's stop and go on that 2-lane road with a lot of lights. If you can take Chain Bridge over to Glebe Road and then Lee Hwy to Pizzeria Orso, it will eliminate some of the stop and go, but then I'm not sure how Wisconsin Avenue is during that time.
