On Monday nights starting April 9th the Kettering eatery of Far Hills Avenue will turn into a Pizzeria joint. From 5- 9pm you’ll get to enjoy a special menu featuring pizza’s (sorry no regular menu that night). Meadowlark owner Wiley says, “we’re going to use our Monday nights as a test kitchen and see how this evolves. We’ll for sure do it through August, menu’s will change and we’ll see how it goes.”
Chef Liz Valenti actually just returned from the International School of Pizza, where she

studied the craft of pizza from 9 Time World Pizza Champion and Master Instructor Tony Gemignani. She excelled in class and was selected to assist Germignani at the Las Vegas Pizza Expo and competition, where he again places first. The dough Meadowlark will be using is a 2 day dough and all pizza’s will be 15″, big enough to share. Wiley says she just got a bunch of to go boxes for pizza’s, so think about them fort ake out on Monday nights.
