Meet our neighbors....Lenzini's Pizza


When your place of business is located in a small shopping center, you start to get to know the other businesses around you. The people who work tirelessly each day to provide the best of what they do. Your neighbors, so to speak.  And in the case of our neighbors, so often we see the unspoken efforts, extra care with customers and relationships they have formed over the years.
 So we'd like to introduce you to them.


We're excited to highlight each business one by one, and encourage you to take a peek at their restaurants, services and products. If nothing else, when you come by for class you'll know a bit more about where we eat on occasion, get our hair done, and (though you hardly ever see us wearing them) where our nicest clothes are cleaned and tailored. And you'll also learn today a bit more about why one of our studios is filled with the delicious aroma of pizza, especially on Monday evenings.  

Today, we'd like to introduce you to our other "next door neighbors" Lenzini's Pizza

We know what you're thinking. Let me get this straight. You want us to workout - at least three or four days a week, and to eat healthy, and you're telling us about pizza?
Yep.
There's two reasons. One, we know you like pizza and you want to eat it. We love pizza too. And two, we really like Lenzini's. Not just their pizza - though it is truly delicious - but also the people who work there each day.


You have a LOT of choices when it comes to pizza establishments, so we want to take a moment to highlight this particular pizzeria. Lenzini's 241 Pizza (otherwise known as 2 for 1) was established prior to current owner, Ali, taking over in August 1994. In fact, Lenzini's is the longest running business in our shopping center - an accomplishment indeed.
After moving to the United States from Iran in 1989, he began studying the art of pizza making under his cousin. He knew instantly he loved to make pizza and share one of his favorite foods with people. Even though it's fast, easy and tastes good he feels strongly there's a distinctive craft and important element of creativity that goes into each individually made pie.


His favorite pizza to make is Pepperoni Mushroom, but says by far the most popular pizza for his customers is Pepperoni and Sausage. What makes Lenzini's Pizza so good is the fresh ingredients. Every single ingredient is made in-house - like their handmade dough and sauce - or is fresh from a farm. Nothing you're getting on your pizza is ever from a can. Even the spices are blended by hand by the staff.
And when they're ready, into the oven they go.


While the customer service is top-notch and the quality is superb, you're still getting a great price. If you've ever taken a Dynamic You Fitness class on a Monday night you're familiar with the amazing deal - 3 for 1. And almost every single pizza on the menu is part of this deal. It is, in case you were ever curious, the reason our group fitness studio is often filled with the tempting aroma as the oven heats up in the late afternoon. A little bit of sweat and AC and it dissipates quickly, but it sure does give you some motivation for working hard!


If your house is a revolving door of pizza delivery, you've probably gotten to know the people who arrive at your door, boxes in hand. We're not necessarily encouraging that kind of frequency with what should be considered a treat food. But it's great to know Lenzini's Pizza has some of the most friendly staff and delivery people we've ever met. And while take-out and delivery may seem obvious, know they're also great at catering big group events and parties (for schools and families). And if you thought Super Bowl Sunday was their busiest day of the year, you might enjoy this little piece of trivia - it's actually Halloween.


We encourage you to get to know them and to try their pizza. If you haven't yet ordered from Lenzini's Pizza we're telling you it's time.
We won't even say anything as you walk away with your selections, promise.  As Ali would say "Eat some pizza! Life is too short!!"
And there's a reason we all know it's good - we've selected our favorite toppings and taken advantage of the 3 for 1 deal too.
So we're good with it. As long as we see you tomorrow for class, that is.
