We are coming to you.  S & J's Woodfired Pizza was accepted this week to the  Grant Park Summer Shade Festival in Atlanta GA on August 28-29.  This is a huge event.  The expected attendance is 25,000 people.  I can’t imagine a better way to break out S & J's Woodfired Pizza than to 25,000 hungry people on a hot day in Atlanta GA.

Planning has already started on how we are gonna be able to do the event. How many dough balls to bring? How much cheese, etc…?  We are just so thrilled to be accepted and can’t wait to get off the ground.  We are now 4 for 4 in applying and being accepted to festivals in GA.  It seems as though maybe we are not the only ones who think this is a good idea since event coordinators accept us and want to check us out.  The Summer Shade Festival will be our first public appearance but we will also be throwing a kick off party a week or so earlier in an attempt to work out any kinks and also give the people what they want. FREE PIZZA.  Check back later for more information on this event and be in Grant Park on Aug 28-29 to support us and fill your bellies.  You know you want to.

S & J's Woodfired Pizza is now legal.

I went on Wednesday and signed a contract with Shared Kitchens, LLC.  This allows us to prepare all of our delish food in a health department approved kitchen keeping both you and I safe.  Along with signing our contract, we applied for our business license in the city of Suwanee GA and got approved.  As soon as we receive it in the mail, I will post in the photo gallery so check back for a picture of it. Not only does this make us legal and legit, it takes a huge weight off both Sarah and I’s shoulders.

Getting all the legal mumbo jumbo and business aspects out of the way will hopefully make things more fun in the future.  I am in it to cook and prepare delicious food, not to stand in line at a crowded courthouse to fill out documents or call inspectors on the phone.  Sitting in front of a roaring fire with unbelievable smells and a cold beer in my hands is a little more my style. So now with the formal stuff taken care of, I can focus on how to make the food we serve the best it can be.

Last night, I took my beautiful girlfriend, Sarah, on a “home date”.  We had chicken scallopine with blue cheese sauce and handmade potato gnocchi.  It was delish. Still some improvements to be made but the base is there.  Cooking is supposed to be fun so now hopefully with the state of Georgia satisfied I can focus more of the satisfaction of you and I.

Write it down. We have been accepted to both the Shady Days in Gay Festival and Jug Tavern Festival in Winder GA. They will be held on October 2-3 and September 10-11. We are both extremely excited to get this venture underway and can’t wait for S & J's Woodfired Pizza to go worldwide. For all of you wanting to get in on the ground floor see you there. For all those wondering if the hype is all true. Yes it is. Accept us to your event or party and see first hand the S & J's Woodfired Pizza EXPERIENCE.
