Do You Want Divas With That?

When Andrew and I went on our recent trip to Montreal, we happened across the restaurant to your left, Pizza Madona. Being the clever fellows that we are, we thought, "What if we opened a pizza place--in the Village, of course--that was entirely themed after Madonna's hit singles?"

Tickled with ourselves, we spent about two minutes coming up with menu items. Then we realized it was time to eat. Again. We were on vacation, after all.

But when we got in the car for the 6 hour drive back to New York (plus potty breaks, an outlet shopping marathon, and one horrifying traffic jam), the Madonna-themed pizzeria sprang back into our minds. Could this be because we're too creative to let a good idea go? Could it be because I kept playing selections from the original motion picture soundtrack of Evita? You be the judge!

At any rate, I'm pleased to present you with the menu we devised. Look for our restaurant to open the moment some wealthy investor with a nose for success writes us a check.
