me: be bummed no more my friends, Monday Night Pizza is continuing on forever!!!
yup, now you know where to find us on Monday night in perpetuity, scarfing slices of pizza and doing silly dances. we are working on an online pre-order system so that you can place your order beforehand and just come pick up your pie, hold tight.
and to tie everything together, check this out – we’ll be having a book launch party at The Mill in 2 weeks, on Monday April 14, where you can buy a copy of the book, eat as much pizza as your heart desires, and toast life. then you can do stuff like this whenever you want:
and yes, that is a bread bra. Colleen is a badass.

i followed for a couple of years….first finding only by chance because i wanted to learn more about bread making. and then you opened a shop (which i have to visit the next time I’m up in SF) and now a BOOK!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!. I preorderd your book as soon as you posted the news – so excited!!!
thanks so much for following betty, hope that you like baking from the book as much as i liked writing it 😉
Hey Josey, not sure if you remember me. I came to visit you from Humboldt when you were baking out of Mission Pie and I picked your brain about bread csa’s. We ate taco’s next door and you were super sweet and patient with me hovering over you all day. Well, I live in Portland, OR now and see that you’re coming through. Would love to meet up with you for a drink or dinner on May 2nd if you are available. Plenty of good eating here and I’m bummed I won’t be able to see you at Powell’s on the 1st–I have to work! Let me know. Best, Laura
2 weeks! Can’t wait! I want to have a book as soon as possible so I could start bake. I’m testing your flours right now. They kick ass, I’ve never try anything better in SF! My rye starter send you lots of love! Do you think you’ll be selling your book in The Mill before everywere else? I’m sure it’s going to be one of a kind!
sorry. I didn’t read the last paragraph 😉 But maybe it will availible even earlier? 🙂
Austin, Texas wants to hang out and get a book! Put us on your calendar and we’ll see you at Book People!!!!!
Your bread book just arrived. I will stop by when I will be in SF in August. Where are you going to be signing in Boston?
