Have you been to Pieology yet? I finally eat there last night and it pretty much changed my life. But first, let’s talk about the other fun from this weekend…
First, Ben is hanging out this weekend and so we did a little team work to fix up the patio. My assignment was to open the wine and help direct.
Deck box done!
Wine is done too.
Then, we headed to the Irvine Spectrum to walk around and find dinner. When we got there we discovered a Fashion Truck roundup! I’ve seen these fashion trucks on TV and was super excited to check some out. I didn’t find anything I liked, but it was cool.
The Lime Truck was there too.
We walked around for a while debating dinner options. I have been wanting to try Pieology for a long time and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Because A.) I wanted pizza and B.) There doesn’t need to be another reason.
Pieology is awesome. I’ve heard it described as a ‘Chipotle of pizza’ but I think it’s more like a Subway because there are so many toppings options.
You pick your sauce, cheese, toppings and no matter what you want all the pizzas are the same price ($7.95). That is amazing to me.
I got the whole wheat crust with red sauce, half ricotta/half mozzarella, mushrooms, onions, garlic, peppers, basil and chicken.
Ben got half BBQ chicken pizza, half white sauce with a bunch of toppings I picked (he went to score us a table so I had free reign).
I loved the thin crust, it was perfection.
After dinner we got dessert because I need dessert. Need.
Overall it was the most delicious day!
And I’d like to leave you with one of the quotes on the wall at Pieology…
There’s a similar pizza place in north Texas called Pie Five: salad, personal pizza and a drink for $10 and it’s delicious! Mushrooms-and lots of them-are my favorite!
Been there, it’s yummy! I can’t believe you hadn’t been considering your love affair with pizza and all…
Great to see you and Ben having fun. 🙂
Pieology sounds delicious. There’s a place in DC with the same concept. I love it because I can get whatever I want 🙂
That pizza looks delicious. Now I need pizza. We don’t have one of those in our area, but there’s a new place being built down the street that’s just like pieology. I can’t wait to go!
That pie-ology pizza looks awesome, I especially love how you went for the half and half. As a girl who can never decide, that’s definitely the way I would go!

missed you at Blend (but I’m super glad you got to spend time with Ben!!)…I’ll send you dates for next year and you’ll mark them down and you’ll come. 🙂
🙂 I know! It looked like you ladies were having so much fun!!!
I have a very similar place here in Chicago that I am obsessed with. It’s called Blaze and it’s the exact same concept. The pizzas are so fresh and delicious and I can’t stop!
Pieology (originally written “pigology”) hasn’t come to the UK yet sadly 🙁
That said, it would take me ages to figure out what I wanted. Although when you can have whatever you want, maybe I just figure out the ingredients I don’t want and those that are left go on my pizza!
That’s awesome you want to do mission work abroad. I’ve volunteered in Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru. All have been such amazing experiences. Good luck!
Thank you!
There is a Pieology by us and now I am really excited to give it a try! I love pizza, but what I love even more than pizza is pizza with a full glass of wine=perfection!
I’ve been to Blaze in Pasadena and PizzaRev in Long Beach (at the Towne Centre). There’s a Pieology really close to me in Lakewood but since I’ve already been to the other two places, I usually end up choosing Cafe Rio instead when I’m near there.
There’s an organization http://www.vacationsthatmatter.com that coordinates volunteer work with a vacation. You work for a week and then play for a week. It seemed like the best of both worlds, but at the time I was researching it seemed expensive. Or maybe I was more broke at that time! haha
that pizza looks amazing, I know my church does a trip but unsure of what the logistics are
I love Pieology- we go pretty often. It’s not the best pizza in the world, but the price and options make up for it. Every time we go I try to convince my husband to get every single topping. I even offer to pay! But so far he’s no fun.
Ben says he’s down to try it.
I dont like pieology as much as i like blaze. Do they have that outside of Pasadena? It is AMAZING. But, in a pinch, pieology will do hahaha
I need to check that place out!
I have worked with Global Brigades (https://www.globalbrigades.org) for about 4 years now, and done multiple water projects with them in Panama, Honduras, and Ghana. Most of their ‘brigades’ (7-10 day trips) are students at universities, but they also have professional brigades. The coordinating staff is very friendly, so you can definitely reach out to anyone there and see if they have a brigade coming up that you would feel comfortable on 🙂
Good luck !! You’ll love it !!
Ahh Pieology is so good! I need to go back there soon
