Double Date Night

About once a month my brother and his wife go out with Jon and I. Our goal for these outings is to try a new restaurant and just hang out. Since we all have very busy lives it is fun to get together and catch up on what’s going on and enjoy good food.
So last night was a double date night. We had a craving for some really good pizza so we headed to downtown St Paul to fulfill our cravings. After parking in Jon’s work parking spot we walked the two blocks in the rain to Black Sheep. Even though the weather was cold and rainy it was totally worth it. We opened up the door and were met with warmth and the smell of garlic goodness.
The place wasn’t packed so we were seated right away. Our waitress was very help and always kept our water glasses full. We ordered a Spinach Bleu Cheese Salad to start which was simple but really good. For pizza we spilt 2 12inch pizzas between us. The first was Meatball, Ricotta and Garlic and the second was Fennel Sausage, Hot Salami, Onion and Cracked Green Olives. Both were AMAZING but you will have to try them for yourself.
I will warn you if you go there be prepared to smell like garlic when you leave. Here’s the website.
Once we got our fill of pizza we decided to go to Cossetta to get some cannoli. Jon’s first experience with connoli didn’t go over so well so our goal was to try and redeem the dessert and get Jon really good cannoli. Which Jon actually liked and ate all of his piece.
Needless to say we had a good time and our bellies were very full by the end of the evening.
