It was one of those mornings, where you roll out of bed and you think, "Damn, I really don't want to do anything. I'm hungry, but I don't want to cook." Not sure about you, but I get those days often - not that I always succumb to them. So of course, cocoon myself into my blankets like a hot dog for a few more minutes before reaching over to text my friend if she wanted some brunch. On her recommendation, we headed out to Acme Cafe, which is in that sort of shady part between Chinatown/Gastown area.

Novo Pizzeria – Old World Ingredients with New World Creativity
If there was one secret to great food, it’s passion. When someone really cares about the food they are serving, it shines through. This was my first time trying Neapolitan pizza. It’s a thin crust pizza cooked in an old-fashioned wood burning stove that heats up to almost 600 Celsius, for 60 to 90 seconds. This is done to produce a crust that is crispy on the outside yet still moist and chewy. “Simplicity is beautiful” rings true at Novo.
