Friends' Gathering (3J1K)

Since the start of the internship，our 3J1K group (Jason，Jeffrey，Joey and Kevin) hardly has the opportunity to meet up due to our different rotation schedules。Thus，we planned this date for us to meet up and relax from work。I have read about Zoca pizza from food blogs and thought that pizza is a nice break from eating pork chops，beef noodle soups，chicken drumsticks，and whatever other bentos are out there。Zoca Pizza is prestigious for their wood-fire Italian pizzas and classic Italian desserts。The owner is from Verona，Italy and has been making pizza and desserts since he was a boy。He offers over 40 kinds of different thin crust pizzas on the menu，which is spectacular。In the U.S., we usually get pepperoni，four cheese，supreme deluxe，mushroom or vegetarian。It is interesting to know that there are that many tasty combinations available。
