Celebration - Pizza Familia

 An old saying goes like this:  “If you look around your family, and you can’t find one who is crazy, then it’s you.”  Last week, I looked around, and we all were crazy- crazy happy.  We had a wonderful celebration upon the Graduation of our daughter and her husband, Brett Harris, from the Candler School of Divinity.  They were so happy.  So we all joined in -  a family dinner at the best Pizza Shop in Atlanta.  This place is crazy good.  “Antico”, a Pizza Napoletana.  Most of this Blog Edition will be a Picture Book of our Celebration.  The place was fantastic.  The Experience even better.

 Here is a happy daughter 

 Brett is happy too. 

 

Another graduate, Kerr, is happy- his bride Palmer indulges.  These two couples are close friends, and so K & P get included in our family.   

 

OK, so the Celebration began.  Don’t you love props?

 

We gathered around the Chef’s table, all grins and giggles.  Watch the video…..       What do you think?              miafamilia

 

We ordered Pizza specialties, the Pizza Master got to work.

 

 The master works his dough, builds a pie, and “prossimo godere”

 The 3 ovens at Antico reach 1000° F, and the pizza was ready in less than 2 minutes.  No wonder he can put out 750 in one night. Once they hit the table, there is not even enough time to take a picture, besides, my fingers were good eats too.

The Pizza was so good.  The ingredients all authentic, straight from Italy. The flour sacks, the cans of peppers, the oils.. all out to see.  We ate and we ate, the pizzas gone in minutes.  

 

I found the Chef taking a break, the building a bit clearer.  He joined us for a glass of Celebration, and began to talk about Naples and Pizza and dreams.  His hospitality was warm- thankful that we were happy in his Pizzeria.  The wine was rich and fun. 

 A Celebration……. Happy-Animated-Handy-Full

Some perhaps more than others….

End the end, the Host, the Chef, the Owner…..he was happy too.

 

What a great night of Celebration it was for a happy family at a rich table covered something really good to eat.

I ask again, “Who says Thanksgiving comes only in November?”
