downtown lunch

I am constantly trying to think of new ways to fill my belly when I am working downtown and through laziness, forgetfulness, or a combination of the two, have forgotten to bring anything for lunch. Today, I stumbled upon a gem.

I have been to DeLaurenti's many times to get sandwiches, cheese, cookies, wine, you name it. I have never tried their pizza, until today. I wandered in the door, peered over at the fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza, and saw a marvelous looking slice that practically danced in front of my eyes, so great was my hunger.

This slice of pizza, which I procured for about $3, was topped with gorgonzola, pear slices, arugula, golden raisins, and deliciousness. My coworkers watched jealously as I ate it, proclaiming its deliciousness after each bite. One coworker was moved to go out in search of this divine pizza, only to return empty-handed, as they had no more of this variety available when she got there.

My only regret? That I did not get a picture of the pizza in all its glory.
