George’s martinis and Gung Ho pizzas: Photos from last week’s tweet up

Some 30 Twitter users gathered at George’s (map) last Wednesday for a night of martinis and pizza. Proprietor George Zhou priced all martinis at RMB30 for this “tweet up” while Gung Ho provided a dozen pizzas, including four “carnivore“, four chicken, Camembert, and black currant, and four pesto pies. Below are a few photos–yeah, I know  my future as a professional photographer is dim–and some Twitter feedback about the pizzas. (Note: That two-for-one deal at Gung Ho ends on July 31.)

Life is a blur...

Twitter feedback (I’ve edited some of these for clarity since, unlike on Twitter, I am not limited to 140 characters per message):

  • “Small and tasty… like Tom Cruise”
  • “Couldn’t think of what to eat tonight, inspired by last night figured I’d have more Gung Ho, good stuff…”
  • “Will definitely recommend as well as order now – their pizza was new to me. Loved the pesto pizza.”
  • “I ate late & agree they don’t taste fantastic cold, though could tell toppings are good quality. Would recommend to friends. Please thank them.”
  • “The bar owners should like it, moves lots of beer! Am disappointed to find out that I lived just outside their delivery zone“
  • “Love their chicken Camembert with wine soaked blackcurrants. The other meat one you liked was too salty for me”
  • “Boysenberry, wild pheasant, and Crotin de Chavignol, or something like that. Tasted like fancy on a crust.”
  • “Good pizza. I actually liked the frou frou one with wolf berries and Chabichou du Poitou cheese, or whatevertheheckitwas.”
  • “Gung Ho pizza is solid. I don’t think I’d ever turn down a slice of that stuff. Pepperoni and smoked pork my favorites.”
