Pizza Pizza

A group of us from this blog met up for meat crust pizza at Capa di Roma in East Hartford a few nights ago and we had a blast! Between bites of delicious meat-crust pizza, buffalo wings, and salad, we exchanged stories, recipes, and many good laughs.
Meat Crust Pizza
We ordered the pizzas a few days ahead for the group of us, as they need 20 pounds of meat to make these four pizzas for us. We had enough leftovers for each of us to take home pizza for another meal! One can never have too much pizza!

Emilia is another Julie follower with great success story. She shared her inspiring weight loss story with us after dinner and some of her favorite recipes. Last night I made an incredible Shepherd Pie based on her suggestion to use butternut squash in place of potatoes. Linda was so inspired by the nut-free pesto Emilia gave each of us to take home, she did a Google search to find an easy-to-make nut-free pesto recipe.

It was great to catch up with everyone. There were a few new faces in the group, but if you look through theses photos you will see some serious weight loss! It was inspiring to see how well Jennifer, Suzanne, and Amelia are doing on maintenance.

Capa di Roma will make this special meat crust pizza for you if you ask for Emilia when you call and order it a day or two ahead. Avoid calling at lunch or dinnertime when she's the busiest. On your way out the door, be sure to buy some of her delicious jars of homemade tomato sauces; Julie approved. They sell them in grocery stores too.

Here's a video ad with Emilia talking about their family recipe sauces

Meanwhile, you can see my homemade version of this meat crust pizza if you want to make this for yourself.

I encourage you to connect with one or two others who follow the program; it's great to have this kind of additional support. Introduce yourself while waiting for a refresh with Julie.

  2. I totally agree with you Miss Theresa to "hook up" with others doing Key Hypnosis weight loss. Knowing that I was going to go sit at a table with people who would not ask me to eat anything I didn't want to is such a blessing. To all of my wonderful "Key Friends" who I have and have not met, Salud! Many well wishes to all of you during this wonderful season!

  3. Thersa, I enjoyed seeing all of you and sharing all the great success stories! Thank you for choosing my restaurant and posting all those great pictures. We are all blessed to have met Julie, it's been over 2 years for me and its been the Only "diet" I have had great success, I started a size 14 and now I'm a size 8! I'm never hungry, don't count calories , no portion control and feel like a million dollars ! I see and handle foods I can't have almost everyday at my restaurant- pasta, pizza, bread, desserts, soda and more but instead you will see me with a bowl of my marinara sauce and meatballs , my favorite. I love reading your blog, thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey. You look fantastic, I'm excited for you to reach your goal. One more thing, my restaurant is Roma, Capa di Roma is the name of my sauce no biggie everyone does that also my name is spelled Emilia. Hope to see you and many more "key friends" soon. Wishing you all great success and good health!

    1. Emilia - thanks for correcting me on the name of your sauce vs the restaurant! I edited the page, so it should be correct everywhere now. Sorry about that!

      BTW, you did an incredible job in your sauce ad!

    I plan to visit Roma this weekend and would love to try the meat crust pizza. How much notice should I give when I call in my meat crust pizza order?

    1. It's be to call 3-4 days ahead during a slow time (not lunch or dinner). Be sure to ask for Emilia, as her staff may not know what you're talking about.
