apart

So for Book Club #2 (we need to start naming the book clubs!) with my old Insight Global girls crowd, we ordered apart pizza.  There were 7 of us and we took down two 18" pizzas no problem.  I wasn't sure how it was going to be because there were mixed reviews on Yelp, but we were all pretty happy with it.  It's New York style pizza so incredibly thin.  I got really excited looking at their menu because it said "Prosciutto" pizza as an option.  However, it's prosciutto cotto, meaning just boring old American ham, and not the amazing Italian prosciutto crudo. Oh well.  We ordered just plain old cheese pizza and a pepperoni, funghi and sausage pizza.  They were devoured.  Plus, Candace really enjoyed the chocolate hazelnut sweet filoncino that we ordered for dessert.  It was delicious and I'm glad I ordered that.  I was a little nervous about chocolate wrapped in pizza dough, why I don't know because they are both delicious on their own.  Would definitely recommend at least ordering once if you want to try a good thin crust.

We also compiled a list of restaurants/wine bars to try.  I'll post them here so I make sure I remember them all!

• La Madia: Jess said it was the best pizza in Chicago and reasonable!
• Cafe Luigi: Lindsey really likes their pizza.  Another New York Style place at Wrightwood and Clark.
• Bin Wine Bar
• Lucia's Ristorante
• Feast
• Yolk: Chelsea says best breakfast place in Chicago
• Bangers and Lace (was this place mentioned - I had written down Bangers and not sure if this is the place, Gunia?  Did you suggest this?)
• Purple Pig

 Also, here is the list of books that people in Book Club 2 have loved and are fair game for next book club picks:

• White Oleander
• Gone With The Wind
• Little Bee
• Hunger Games
• The Book Thief

Has anyone else read any of these?  Any comments on them?
