CONSTANCE:
My personal theory on life is that Plan "A" rarely works out so to anticipate, be prepared and be flexible; that way your Plan "B" can work out even better than Plan "A" ever could have been ... and so it was last night with our pizza and wing blog.
Plan "A" will be revisited another Friday, but just wasn't in the cards yesterday. Quality Markets on 38th and Liberty has a hidden talent - in the deli, they make the best buffalo chicken pizzas. They really do, and we looked forward to having one all day. When Mathias went up to order in person, the deli pizza maker was on break and no one was available to make our pizza for at least 15 minutes. More than we wanted to wait. Highly disappointing for a Friday night about 7 p.m. Poor planning on their part. But this isn't intended as a dis, just to illustrate the sequence of events leading up to our Plan "B".
Like the gargoyle in last week's blog, how many times have you or I driven past Little Anthony's Pizza at 22nd and Liberty? Exactly! So, no flyers or coupons in hand, we looked up their phone number the old school way - in the phone book. One of the biggest things we've learned about our pizza and wing adventure is to always ask about specials when calling in. Many are unadvertised, and the savings can add up, especially when you're doing this weekly for an entire year!
So the special was a large pepperoni pizza with 25 wings. Mathias wasn't too crazy about just pepperoni. We got spoiled after the cappicola last week! So his idea was to add tomatoes to it when we got it home.
My turn to pick the wings. Cajun dry ... mmm!!
The wait time was only about 15 minutes during a peak Friday night. Convenient location. Price point under $20 and hot-n-ready in the door at home. I had a knee procedure done yesterday, so actually Mathias did the errand without me riding shotgun last night. I was on the couch waiting to watch "High School Reunion" and had a heating pad on my knee instead!

The crust wasn't hand tossed and it was pepperoni and not "our pick" for the topping, so the wings scored higher for me. Wow, they were meaty and flavor-packed to make a Cajun proud. I'd average my rating at 5.5 out of 8, due to the crust. Mathias thought the crust needed to be cooked more. It was better for breakfast I'd say ... yep I just devoured three pieces.
And the title of this blog is in honor of "Za" being added to the Scrabble dictionary this week ... short for pizza of course! And worth a lot of points!

P.S. What's up with the Homecoming Queen's secret anyways ... Mathias and I each have our spoiler thoughts on that. Does anyone else watch?
