Pizza Night at the Gathering in the Garden State
The official, unofficial Pizza run to Kinchley's on Aug 24. I actually managed to make reservations at Kinchley's for 08/24. We have reservations for 8:45 (the earliest I could get so we gotta take advantage of it). Please note the new meeting time.
Ever been to Kinchley's? Here's a short blurb from The Big Apple Dining Guide (a foodie blog):
Kinchley's is a favorite of mine and has been for nearly two decades. Their beer dough/thin-crust pizza is unlike any you've had elsewhere. True to form, I ordered the Fra Diavolo (spicy sauce) pie and others ordered a mix of plain pizzas, fried clams, spicy mussels and the like. The Fra Diavolo was a bit spicier than usual according to Danna - and I found the regular pie to be one of the better versions I've had. Delicious. The crust crunches, the sauce is flavorful with generous amounts of dried basil and oregano, and the cheese is "realer" than much of what you get in the city. They take great pride in their pizza and for good reason. Despite notoriously awful service, they take their commitment to their customers seriously.
Kinchley's was once asked to use their facility for an episode of the Soprano's. The owner reportedly turned down the offer, which would no doubt drive even more business their way, citing that the seven days they would need to shut the restaurant down to film would be unacceptable. You see, Kinchley's is NEVER closed. Not for nobody, never. And so to satisfy its legions of dedicated patrons, even on Christmas at midnight, Kinchley's will never be in an episode of the Soprano's but forever in my thoughts of great pizza, small business ownership loyalty and my previous years living in Northern NJ.
Friday night. Get together in the lobby of the Sheraton. Travel to Ramsey. Eat lot's of pizza....yum!!
Friday night (August 24) in the Sheraton Crossroads Lobby at 8:00pm. Adventure, Fun, Excitement ... ah nuts, we're doing a serious pizza run...

Pizza sign up? Here you go... If you signed up for either Friday night pizza or the banquet on Saturday night and you don't see your name in the first post, please PM me. Chances are good you are in the database, but I'd like to make sure.
