Some pizzalicious friends of mine, the folks at Pizza Tonight need a kickstart! Check it out! They only have eight days left!

Their prizes and freebees for donating are awesome and include things like free pizza, private pizza parties, persistent pizza purchaser punch cards, etc! Support the little guys and make a donation NOW!

Here are some of the intended uses for their Kickstarter fund:

Source more of their ingredients locally! They have been lucky to source so many of their ingredients locally, from Olli Salumeria to Dave and Dee's Mushrooms to Sausage Craft. This past market season, they connected with even more local businesses and farms, working beside them week after week, and they'd like to see them represented on their menus!

Expand the business locally and regionally. Pizza Tonight kits, dough, sauce, cheese, and meatballs have been received so well locally, they'd like to bring that to even more locations.

Replace and improve their equipment, including signage, tents, catering gear and oven tools. These items take a beating and wear out fast.

Freezer Finds

Freezer Finds : Preheat the oven: Richmond is having a peak frozen pizza moment. Locally made frozen pizzas abound in Richmond. (Photo courtesy Billy Pie) An ice-cold pizza craze is taking over Richmond. The capital city is home to several burgeoning frozen pizza brands, many born of pandemic pivots as ways to save inventory, grow sales and expand options for folks dining at home. But the easy, pop-in-the-oven pick-me-ups have stuck around.

Tales of Pizza: Part Four: Barquitos

When I was a young student of Richmond Public Schools, we were often served a very weird pizza-like dish called "barquitos" for lunch in the cafeterium (cafeteria+auditorium+gymnasium). I have NEVER been able to find out anything about barquito pizza on the internet. I did however, find out that barquito means little boat in Spanish. A barquito is basically a french bread pizza topped with seasoned taco meat (probably left over lunch the day before) and cheddar cheese. I feel like maybe there was a similar dish with sloppy joe meat but who can really be sure. I have done my best to block out school lunch from my memories. What is this dish? I only ever had it in elementary school. Is it the concoction of a lunch lady? Is it a real food item? What is a barquito?
