Today Seamus and I may make the drive to Walnut Creek to try some Prego Pizza for lunch! There are labor stories associated with this place and we think it would be fun (and funny) to give it a try! We're both off of work so why not?!?
The legend of Skipolini's Prego Pizza (from their website)
"In the spring of 1981, a woman desperate to give birth after a trying pregnancy, wandered into Skipolini's Pizza in downtown Clayton. Jokingly, the woman demanded that the manager give her a pizza that would make her have the baby soon. Seeing her desperation, the manager concocted a pizza with just about every known topping in the restaurant.
The masterpiece had thirteen different toppings including extra onions and extra garlic. The pizza was loaded with fresh vegetables and six types of meat. The creation weighed over four pounds and could have cured the hunger of several small countries. The results were amazing. The woman left the restaurant after eating the "Prego" pizza and went into labor that same evening. So began the amazing history of the first ever, the original, "Prego" pizza.
After years of success, the "Prego" pizza has been growing in popularity. It has been recommended by doctors and OBGYN's everywhere. The pizza gives hope to pregnant mothers who are just ready to put a happy ending to a long nine months. The "Prego" pizza has been recognized by newspaper, magazine, radio, and television programming alike. In the early years, radio personality Dr. Don Rose first helped publicize the pizza on the radio station KFRC. The successes of the "Prego" pizza have been documented in the Contra Costa Times, Pizza Today magazine, Diablo Magazine, Gourmet Magazine, and many other local publications. The popularity of the "Prego" has also been enhanced by short clips aired on KTVU channel 2, Evening Magazine, CNN, and KPIX, channel 5 news."
It would be fun to post our own labor story on their website. Of course it'll be a bit of a drive but we're just hanging out these days so here we go on a short adventure!
Yesterday Seamus came home with an "early birthday present" for me! A new, red Sony Cyber Shot TX7 camera! It's great! There is a feature on the camera that will wait to take your picture until you're smiling! I think it's a perfect early birthday present just in time for the birth of our first born! (Maybe the prego pizza will work?!)
