Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

(First things first: if you are reading this early in the AM - we're experiencing some very slippery conditions in central Ohio. Please be careful! Take short steps, avoid stairs, and try to walk like a penguin. 🐧🐧)

This morning I'm so excited to share something with all of you that I've literally been waiting months for. Wizard of Za started as a mysterious and exclusive pizza experience that you could only order through Instagram. From celebrities to everyday pizza lovers, thousands of people signed up to taste this incredible, Sicilian style pizza. Now, owner Spencer Saylor is living his very own technicolor dream out of a brick and mortar spot in Clintonville. There's no place like home, or like Wizard of Za, and I can't wait until you all get to taste it for yourselves. I promise, you'll love it.
