Dois pedaços por favor!



So I have a new obsession: "stuff your face Mondays." It's the only evening during the week that Will doesn't have school, so today, like we did last Monday, we went to the Praia de Belas mall in Porto Alegre for rodízio (all you can eat) at Pizza Hut.

Here's how it works: the waiters/waitresses bring around different kinds of pizza and you them "yes" or "no" (well... sim o não). Usually it's a little aggravating at first because most of the pizza has meat on it (this is the part where Will's stuffing his face and laughing at me and I start the scoreboard: 0 to 1, 0 to 3, 0 to 5... until finally a non-meat pizza comes by and I get in on the gluttonous action.

Tonight I was lucky because suddenly the pizzas coming out were almost all meatless (when they finally come without meat I ask for two slices: dois pedaços por favor!). I ate pizza with corn, pizza with catupiry cheese, mozzarella pizza, pizza Margherita, a bunch of garlic and olive oil pizza, pizza with broccoli, four cheese pizza, and a few other kinds. At that point we decided to stop eating dinner pizza and begin eating dessert pizza. This is the great thing about Brazilian Pizza Hut... dessert pizza! It's sort of a normal pizza crust with lots of great stuff on it. We had pizza with condensed milk and pineapple (tropicana), pizza with doce de leite, pizza with chocolate and chocolate sprinkles, pizza with guava and pizza with chocolate and coconut (prestígio).

Needless to say they just about had to roll us out of there...

The best part? It only cost R$52 for 2 people including a couple of sodas and tip. That's less than US$32 (less than $16 each), which is amazing for the sheer quantity of food we consumed.

Disgusting? Maybe. Satisfying? Unbelievably so!

Dude, Pizza Hut could put calf fetuses and rotting shark cartilage on the pizza and I would still feast.
