Uncle Tony's Pizza Delivery!

~Mediadrop~   The family loves pizza and it’s usually one of our to-gos if we need a quick fix for meals – the kids are fans too.   We ordered the sharing bundle “Let’s Go Party” for one of our family gatherings – yes we kept to social distancing measures and only had 2 over! This bundle feeds 9-10pax and we had 7 adults and a child.

Brilliant cobalt blue hues, complementary dark wood panelling and polished brass furnishing and gold accents brightens up any dour mood and lifts the spirits up for in preparation for a Dionysian meal. Once you walk into the main hall you will see The Vault, displaying fine cuts of meats, but to be honest my attention w
