MyPi Chicken Carbonara

I work right across the way from the Hampton MyPi location (Peninsula Town Center). Since its so convenient, you constantly see co-workers coming in with their boxes during lunch time. They have a special currently going on with the signature pizza's for six dollars and some change. If you don't choose to get a signature pizza, you can build your own personal pizza and get a 10% discount if you work in PTC. Usually when I eat here I just order a custom cheese and pepperoni. I love that the marinara sauce is flavorful and the dough remains soft enough to enjoy right out of the oven. It's cool that they can deliver such good quality and tasty personal pizza within minutes. Last week I decided to try a signature pie. I ordered the Chicken Carbonara. This pizza comes with Creamy Alfredo sauce, Parmesan, mozzarella, chicken, bacon, mushrooms & crushed red pepper ( Ingredient list taken straight from the MyPi website http://mypipizza.com/) 

I had everything except the mushrooms. I was never a big fan although my mom has told me she's snuck some in spaghetti on more that a few occasions. The first bite had me saying WOW! why didn't I try this pizza sooner? I love how the bacon bits were crispy. The chicken pieces are diced nicely and covers the pizza throughout. I also appreciate that the chicken was all white meat and didn't have a bland taste. The Alfredo sauce is also just as flavorful as the marinara. After a while of eating I did have a bit of an after taste going on but I pretty much ate about 70% of the pizza by this point. After drinking some water I was ok. I didn't get to finish my pizza so I took it with me back to work. Unfortunately my body didn't handle this pizza well.I had a case of acid reflux and then the restroom was calling me way before my last 10 minute break of the day. I guess I can conclude the Alfredo sauce may be to rich for me. What a bummer but kudos to me for at least trying another menu item. Of course I will continue to get my cheese and pepperoni lol. 

On this day Facebook food memory 11-7-11

I wish....Oh how I wish....I could have buffalo food in Virginia. I remember this food memory well. I was sharing an apt with one of my best friends in Buffalo NY. I had moved from NYC like three months prior. One of the best food items from Western N.Y. is Chicken Fingers. These are Chicken tenders that are usually flat, breaded and deep fried to perfection. Throw in some buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles on a toasted sub roll with mayo and you have a home made sandwich. This night I didn't feel like ordering a sub and waiting 30 minutes for it to be delivered so I made one myself. The Hard Mikes lemonade was the added touch to a good meal. I so wish I had this right now lol.
I had a chicken tender sub from a pizza spot here in VA and it wasn't bad at all. Read about it here: http://evonathefoodlover.blogspot.com/2017/09/annas-pizza-in-buckroe.html?m=1

On this day Facebook food memory of the day 11-5-14

Yesterday was my 3 year anniversary living in Virginia. Today this food memory came up because when I moved to VA I had an extreme headache coming off the plane. I had to wait until the next day to post lol. I had a great food experience not even an hour after landing. My cousin took me to Wawa although initially I told her she could take me to Subway. She was like I have a better place to take you. My life was made after having such a great sub from a place that serves as a gas station/small convenience store. I still go there to get my steak and cheese fix. I love that there's no lack of meat on the sandwiches and everything tastes fresh. You also get to watch the sandwich maker prepare your sub. Great customer service and of course it's convenient to pick up a gallon of milk for my son on the way out 🤗.

Here's the whole post I wrote: My first #VA #foodporn post 

My cousin took me to this Wawa store
( 7/11 and subway combination )
She ordered me a steak and cheese
I was definitely blown away even though I wasn't feeling well. I ordered Cheddar cheese and from the taste of it they used real sharp Cheddar. Sub was Nice and meaty so no complaints
