Andy Roddick is Pizzalicious!

The Telegraph reported today that Andy Roddick crushed Philipp Kohlschreiber like a pizza box going into the recycling bin today at Wimbledon.

They also reported that Roddick delivered his buddy John Isner a carb-heavy meal on Wednesday, which included chicken, mashed potatoes and three pizzas. The exhausted Isner recently won an 11-hour long match against Nicholas Mahut. That's the longest tennis game in history!

Bravo Andy Roddick for being a truly pizzalicious friend!

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.

But the easy, pop-in-the-oven pick-me-ups have stuck around. From Chicago deep-dish and hand-tossed sourdough to neo-Neapolitan and vegan varieties, frozen pizzas are packing the coolers at an array of local establishments. Billy Pie For over two decades, baker Billy Fallen supplied Richmond’s eateries and grocers with remarkable sourdough bread, pasta, and pizza. In the fall of 2023, he left the restaurant world to focus on a veritable frozen pizza factory. Getting the scale-up just right has been his work.
