Day Two: Good Morning Pizza! Slices Roulette
Wake up, eat pizza. Hey, it’s what we do. It’s 1 and we are all 2 slices + deep. We are playing a game we like to call Slices Roulette. Teams of two went all around the city and brought back 2 slices from the pizzeria they were assigned to. Some good, some bad, some amazing. Even cold.
