Do you remember those old Little Nero’s commercials? Pizza, pizza!
Anyway, I met up with Peter to have a mini goodbye lunch in the midst of some work errands. We ate at Penn Station (boo) because he had to catch a train in 20 min. We ate at Houlihan’s and the pickings looked pretty slim. I finally decided on what I thought to be relatively harmless: appetizer portion thin crust pizza cooked with extra virgin olive oil, zucchini, tomatoes, olives, and goat cheese.
This makes it look alot larger than it was - it was only 7″ across (about the size of a tortilla). I ate about 3/4 of this. I’m estimating this lunch at 600 calories.
Can you believe this was the appetizer serving?? It’s a meal in and of itself! Makes me worried about what we think is normal portion these days….
My goal for this afternoon is to NOT let the office cookies get the best of me. I cannot wait to get to Chelsea Piers after work, so I’m just going to think about that and maybe have a cup of coffee if those guys are really calling my name!
Oh my gosh does that pizza ever look delicious!
Portion sizes are so crazy these days though… seriously, the “appetizer” or “half size” portions are often plenty enough, if not MORE than enough for an entire meal.
Ah yes, Little Nero’s!! Talk about a blast from the past - I forgot about those commercials!!
Haha yeah, that pizza definitely DOES look huge in the photograph - sneaky camera angle ;0)
Have fun at Chelsea Piers!!
Wow that pizza looks delicious! I think you’ve formed a craving!! I keeping seeing pizza on blogs… maybe it’s a summer food? or just an always food. yes, an always food. pizza mmmmmmmm
Kristie - You’re so right. I mostly stick to appetizers in chain restaurants for that reason.
VG - I’m trying to work on my camera angles to give you guys pretty pictures - sometimes it doesn’t do the food justice!
Glidingcalm - Pizza is DEFINITELY an always food.
