It’s Pizzas Time! VIA 313 is the best place to g It’s Pizzas Time!
VIA 313 is the best place to get your pizza fix. 

Drove the Jeep out to the Rim for lunch and we started with the meatballs and marinara which had so much flavor and were cooked perfectly. 

Then we tried the DLX 313 and wow, every bite was better than the last. 

The DLX 313 answers the question every table argues over: which pizza do we get? Instead of picking one, we got  four of Via 313’s most iconic options, arranged on a single large pan and double cut into 16 squares.
 
Here’s the lineup:
The Detroiter — smoked pepperoni tucked beneath the cheese, natural casing pepperoni crisping on top

The Ambassador Bridge — pepperoni, sausage, fresh garlic, oregano and house-made ricotta

The Cadillac — prosciutto, gorgonzola, parmesan, fig preserves and balsamic glaze

The Bobo Brazil — hot calabrese, sausage, red pepper flakes and Mike’s Hot Honey

And of course y’all know I will always try a smoked Old Fashioned if it’s on the menu, and this cocktail was delightful. They use Still Austin Straight Bourbon, which is quickly becoming one of my faves. 

We finished off the meal with a trio of hubcaps and a bowl of the Superman ice cream. For the Hubcaps, we chose the snickerdoodle, red velvet and Detroit confetti. We really enjoyed every bite of all three, and that Superman ice cream was spectacular.

For your birthday they even give you a whole sheet of the Cinnamon Stix, yay for it being my birthday month. 

I highly recommend that you head out to @via313pizza and check it out, you won’t be disappointed, and I know you’ll have a great time.

I got the new Apple Pie Bundtlet from @nothingbundtcakes ! Next was a free sandwich from @schlotzskys and another free sandwich from @jerseymikes 

For dinner the hubs took me to @maggianoslittleitaly for one of the best Smoked Old Fashioned cocktails I’ve ever had, such a great presentation. And their mushroom ravioli was absolutely amazing. I love that for your birthday they give you the yummy lemon cookies with candles. 

And of course, I ended the evening with my free @starbucks coffee, that’s right, a triple shot latte at 8 pm, yay me.

Miss Riley came home this morning. She is still a Miss Riley came home this morning. She is still a pretty sick gal, but you wouldn’t know it by the way she is acting, barking, and eating treats. 

She has IMHA, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. Which means her immune system is destroying her body’s red blood cells. After 2 blood transfusions, and a bunch of meds, they sent her home with a whole list of instructions, a few meds that she will take for a very long time, and a bunch of “she can’t do that for a while” list of things. She can bruise, bleed, and get sick very easy right now, so my girl will be pretty much living in a bubble. 

She’s in a small kennel right now until I get “Riley’s Corner” done. Along with prepping the house like we have a toddler again. 

Thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts, she still needs them and they are very appreciated.

This little gal is pretty sick and getting a blood This little gal is pretty sick and getting a blood transfusion tonight. All the prayers are welcome. Riley is in great spirits and I don’t think she realizes just how sick she is. So thankful to Freya, the sweet dog that donated the blood, who knew there is a doggy blood bank out there.

Where the World Gets Quiet and You Finally Exhale Where the World Gets Quiet and You Finally Exhale — Only at Chair King! 🖤🌿

There are some outdoor pieces that just invite you to linger, and the Nantucket 3-Piece Swivel Outdoor Sofa Group from @ChairKingBYS is exactly that. 🖤🌿

The black polymer frame has these clean, angular lines that feel contemporary and grounded at the same time. Including a sofa with plush mist-toned Sunbrella cushions, a swivel club chair that rotates so you’re always in the conversation, and a 42 x 24-inch coffee table with a slat top and woven wicker shelf underneath, every piece in this set feels intentional. 🤍 

Style it with a textured outdoor rug, some ruffled or pinstriped throw pillows, and a few candles — and your backyard becomes the room where the best parts of summer happen. 
☀️ 

Morning coffee in the quiet before anyone wakes up. Long conversations that stretch past sunset. The book you’ve been meaning to finish. 🌙

The polymer won’t crack, chip, or fade, and the Sunbrella cushions resist everything the Texas heat brings — so this set looks and feels this good for years. 💫

Stop merely dreaming of your ideal backyard and start living in it. Available now at ChairKing.com or at one of their 22 Texas showrooms. 🏡
