Pizza Party: BYOT

A couple weeks ago, some friends brought back an annual tradition: the BYOT Pizza Party. Daphne and Dave provided the dough, sauce and cheese and the guests brought toppings to make a melange of delicious homemade pizzas.

Last year's BYOT party set a high standard, but this year many of the party-goers were seasoned BYOT-ers, and we exceeded all expectations.

We saw a whole slew of dough-rolling techniques at the party, from gentle stretching

To tossing in the air:

To kneading (dough and back):

And improvised rolling:

The toppings were deluxe, including lox:

Pesto, pepper and goat cheese:

And barbecue chicken:

Daphne had these great chalkboard wine glasses so everyone could label and track their own drinks:


With a hands-on event like BYOT, everyone gets in the spirit, and the party makes itself:

What a seriously fun night. Since Daphne and Dave are fellow singers, we had a classic showtune-sing-along until the party finally came to a close in the wee hours of the morning.
