Sun July 28 at 5:00 PM, Dante's Pizzeria
3028 West Armitage Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Cheeeese!
Confirmed as Dante's for the 28th.
Previous mid-month cheese-ups:
- Bad Happy Poutine, January
- Pequod's Pizza, February
- phunnieme's head shaving kind of turned into the March event. There was cheese on my hamburger at the OTHER Blue Frog
- Cheesies Grilled Cheese, April
- Wells on Wells, May

How about Dante's? It's a Dante (okay, basically just the Inferno) themed pizza place near Armitage and Kedzie. Despite the gimmick, the pizza is excellent. It's NY-style, which I normally abhor like a good Chicagoan, but I make an exception for Dante's. It does, however, take them several hours to bake a pie. Bonus: it's heavy-metal themed also, because two themes are better than one.

I would be super into Dante's because it's very close to our new apartment, and their pizza is good. The hardest part will be picking a date that I can actually make it to!

Alas, I cannot make it on the 28th. I'm out of town from July 28th – August 8th.
Maybe it would be more efficient if people who want to attend post the dates that they can't do, and we work backwards from there? Sorry, I know summer is a hard time to schedule stuff...

Yeah, I just realized the 28th is bad for me too. How about the weekend of the 20-21st?

Dante's is walking distance from my place and is also some of my favorite pizza in the city, so, yay, excited to check this out with you guys at my first meetup.
The weekend of the 20-21st is Pitchfork, though, and I will be volunteering there all weekend as well as hosting friends from out of town so selfishly I'm hoping that isn't the date it gets changed to.

Yeah, Pitchfork weekend would be bad. Um, I could do this Sunday actually, but that's kind of short notice? Honestly, it is easier to list the very short list of dates I could do, rather than the very long list of dates I can't do. Okay dates would be:

- Sunday 7/14 after 5pm
- Tuesday 7/23 (I have something booked this night, but it's something I could skip)
- Wednesday 7/24
- Wednesday 7/31

Oh, and I could make the 28th at 5pm, although it sounds like that's bad for other people.

Maybe something midweek, but a bit later in the night so people can get there?

Midweek seems like a good idea if summer weekends are hard to book.

Dante's is right outside my apartment. I also may participate in this, my first ever meetup.

I can't believe I've lived in Chicago for two years and haven't been to a meetup. I'ma try to make it this time!

Well, Panama made it to the Gold Cup final this sunday, so I have to bow out. Maybe I will catch the tail end of the cheese.

If you didn't make it out, you missed some great pizza! Maybe I'll see you on August 7th. My flight gets in at 5pm-ish, so I will probably drop by the Goat later.

It really was great - gardenia cheese, fresh mozzarella, garlic sauce, and jalapenos. http://i.imgur.com/ebViCma.jpg
