Homemade Pizza Co. & Flippin' Pizza

Homemade Pizza Co. -- recommended to me by Stacy last month, and I've had it twice.  It's a chain that is in Illinois (think pizza town Chicago), Minnesota, and now the DC area with 5 locations.  
I know, these photos are probably making you hungry for pizza. You pick it up and it's wrapped in plastic, and placed on parchment paper, which is the key to making it crisp up perfectly.  Bring it home and cook it up when you are ready (approx. 10 min) -- I loved the thin crust and their sauce. I've tried the Meisian (tomatoes/basil), the BBQ Chicken, and Pepperoni.  I loved them all.  Just be careful you don't burn it, like we did slightly.  If you open an account on their website, you will get coupons emailed to you -- at 4:00 pm on Friday, just in time for the weekend.  Great ingredients, great pizza. I realized I had been passing by their store in Arlington for months without noticing it...it's located in a small strip of stores on Lee Highway near Glebe Road, but the word Homemade is so big, and Pizza Co. is small, I never noticed it.  It's located right near a bakery, a wine shop, Starbucks, and some other shops. They also have good salads and chocolate chip cookies -- which you also bake like a pizza in your own oven -- we even cut it up in slices like a pizza.  why not?  It was really good, too. Prices are a little high, but I think it's worth it. 

Flippin' Pizza -- New York pizza by the slice. enough said. We don't have enough 'pizza by the slice' in this area, and I'm really glad this opened near us in Falls Church.  It's a tiny store, with 2 tables out front, right on route 7, and some tables inside. The name of the place is fun to say -- 'want some Flippin' Pizza today'?? -- and the price is right. They have a good selection of pizza -- i like the white pizza with basil/ricotta and of course the pepperoni.  Jeb likes that they sell beer -- specifically miller lite.
