Stan's Pizza Joint

Alright last night I didn't want to make dinner, I had just done all the dishes and I wasn't up for making a huge mess.  I have no dishwasher, only one sink and ALWAYS have a full sink.  In fact I can do dishes, walk around the house and end up with a full sink all over again.  I have such a problem with dishes that I have a rash on my right hand that doesn't get a chance to go away BECAUSE i do dishes to much.  Honestly the dr. told me I do dishes too much, i need gloves blah blah blah.  If you have ever used rubber gloves you know just how hard it is to do dishes with them on... it is horrible and I take twice as long.  Not to mention I end up with still greasy dishes so I gave up trying to use them again.

Anyways all these factors and more lead me to open up my takeout menu stash.  I save all the menus we get in the mail for coupons and more dinner options when we're in a pinch.  We only really get take out once a month really so when we do we want something yummy.  Now that I am a vegetarian I am all for variety without ordering from two different places or ending up with a lame cheese pizza.  You know since hubby and the kids would rather remove their teeth than chew on a vegetarian pizza.  So I thought well heck why not find something new.

I went with pizza....

but here is the clincher, I found a place with variety much like Hot Oven (another pizza joint hubby isn't much of a fan of something about the crust... the crust I LOVE) that had more than a few different pizzas I knew I could get into called Stan's Pizza Joint.  My hubby is super picky so I knew he was having the hawaiian or what they call the "Aloha Special."  For myself I had it narrowed down to THREE choices:

The Santa Fe: Fresh cut spinach, sun dried tomato, artichoke hearts, feta and red peppers
The Popeye: Fresh cut spinach, artichoke hearts, feta, black olives, and tomato
Pesto Amore: Pesto sauce, sun dried tomato, artichoke and feta. 

Clearly I had a hard time narrowing it down but decided on the Pesto Amore since it has been a while since I have had a chance to enjoy a slice of pesto pizza downtown.  So I called in my order to a really friendly sounding dude, was told 45 min and I happily waited whilst giving the brats a bath.  When they arrived all of us were VERY ready to chow down and fill our bellies.  Since they have a great 2 for 1 option my total was under 30.00 for two mediums, very happy about that! 

Aloha Special

Pesto Amore

DELISH!

As you can see we dug in before I remembered I needed pictures lol!!! Both were a hit with both the kids, and of course hubby wouldn't eat the pesto one but he LOVED the aloha special.  Even I wanted to cheat on my veggie diet to give it a taste, but I didn't.  As you know I don't like fruit and meat lol!!

Overall:

• I was happy with the service over the phone: friendly and efficient.
• The pizza arrived on time and SUPER HOT, delivery boy was cheerful and friendly as well. 
• Both my kids sat down and ate willingly, asked for seconds and enjoyed my vegetarian option. 
• Picky pants loved his pizza thoroughly and even ate more later that night... he has been eating twice as much working this new job. 
• Plenty of toppings and super tasty!
• Nice cheap price, and free delivery within 5km!

I was definitely happy and will be ordering again for sure!
