Elite Event: Roman Holiday @ BUILD Pizzeria

What a fun venue on a busy corner location!
I took my (+1) (Partner In Dining) Jason E. and we had a grand time.
Let me tell you, VICTOR – the gentleman that takes your readily proofed 9oz piece of pizza dough and uses fancy tricks to turn it into a pizza pie – stole the show!
The (+1) and I posted up right next to Victor with our freshly made Ciao Bella cocktails. Not only did we get to see this process carried out by such a talented individual, we also happened to pick one of the easy-​access pizza locations. Every time a pizza created by a Unilocaler passed by, we were one of the first people to see it.
BUILD’s method of preparation is unique. You see your food made right in front of you with ingredients counting so high it was very overwhelming when it was my turn to make a pizza for us. In turn, I asked one of the guys behind the counter to make me his personal favorite. I believe it had spicy Italian sausage, two kinds of mozzarella, and jalapenos! Mmmm those spicy little green devils.
Although I did not get to taste the pizza I ordered, I’m sure my fellow elites found it delicious (or so I hope). We even met the owner who is very friendly and welcoming to his guests.
I was glad to chat with new friends and it was nice to be back in Berkeley again, but this time as an alumnae of the University.
Thank you Unilocal team for making this possible!
Until next time, SYOY!

I’m convinced this YEE was inspired by the movie «Field of Dreams.» Not that there was a single thing about this YEE that had anything to do with baseball. But if you tell Elites that they can build & eat their own custom pizzas, then they will certainly come.
That was the scoop at the Roman Holiday @ BUILD Pizzeria YEE. BUILD was introducing us to their build-​your-​own custom pizza bar concept & we would get to chow down on the numerous Elite-​inspired pies that would be result.
Throw in some tasty refreshing Ale Industries brews + some sweet delicious Slow & Low cocktails & the East Bay Elite crowd was definitely showing up. It was a blast! Great venue, great crowd, great drinks & of course, great pizzas!
Thank you Nique F. for all that you do & continue to do well as our East Bay CM. Thank you BUILD for a great time & all those delicious pies. & thanks to my fellow East Bay Elites for another fun YEE.

Such an awesome, fun, and interactive event!
Cocktails were delicious, appetizers (especially the prosciutto/​melon and calamari) were amazing, every pizza I sampled was fresh and tasty, the golden state of mind beers was one of the best beers I’ve ever had.
Very organized event. Nique and the BUILD staff did an awesome job!

Definitely a new experience for me. After going to my 1^st Unilocal event last month, I was definitely looking forward to a new venue, new people, and of course new food and drinks!
Atmosphere — Definitely feel the college/​family vibe. very open and lots of space which is great. I almost feel that there bar space is as big as their dining space.
People: I found it harder to meet people here based on how the tables/​layout were setup. There was definitely seats along the wall but it really didn’t make it conducive to talk to anyone seated. I definitely found myself gravitating to people that were standing or walking around in order to start up a conversation.
Appetizers — We were served some calamari appetizers. They were pretty standard nothing to brag about. Definitely something to munch on if I was here for a normal happy hour. The caprese skewers were a nice refreshing taste. It really helped break up the pizza taste flavor in my mouth.
Drinks — they served a signature cocktail, called the «Ciao Bella». It had whiskey, nutmeg, and grapefruit and probably some other things I can’t recall. I’m not a big fan of grapefruit so I probably wouldn’t have this drink again.
They also had two beers on tap and both were quite delicious. They were from Ale Industries, Golden State of Mind and Rye’d Piper. I can’t remember which I liked more, but for a non-​typical beer drinker, I wouldn’t mind this over the Ciao Bella.
Pizza — This is the biggest part of the night. I definitely like the whole «chipotle-​style» choosing of toppings for pizza. I was lucky enough to get picked to make a pizza. They have a building station where can choose your own sauce, meats and veggies. I real like the option of choosing different combos and never having the same thing twice. We were served the pizza on small napkins, but the pizza was so oily that it was quite difficult to eat the whole pizza without toppings/​pieces of the pizza falling off the napkin onto the floor. I’d probably prefer plates, but perhaps that would be too clunky for people to be carrying.
Overall, I enjoyed the time spent coming out and meeting new people. I was happy to see people from the 1^st event (Adam/​Rebekah and Joanna) and meeting a couple new people (Hi wendy!)
looking forward to my next YEE event!

I had such a blast at this YEE! The cocktails were delish! The pizza delish! It was great catching up with my fellow Elites.
When people got to make their pizzas and the pizzas made its way towards me, I dove in before the pizza was all gone. I was pleasantly surprised how good the crust was and the freshness of the ingredients. So, I was really excited when my turn came up to make my own pizza. I chose mine with: red sauce, pulled mozzarella, one of the few types of pepperoni, roasted garlic, italian sausage, and calabrese peppers. And it came out really, really good!
It was also great to meet one of the owners of BUILD. A very nice and easy-​going guy. And the rep for Slow & Low was awesome too. Towards the end of the night, he gave me a flask filled with the Rock & Rye. A very nice way to end the night!
Can we have another YEE here? Pretty, pretty please?

When in the East Bay… (or do as the Elites do…)
The concept is simple. BUILD your own pizza. You start with a freshly prepared dough base and choose just about as many toppings as you can fit. As a YEE, not everyone was able to build their own pizza. Instead we were encouraged to enter the pizza building raffle. If chosen, you could build your own pizza just as a typical customer. My name got drawn, and with great power, came great pizza responsibility. I wasn’t sure about this concept, but it was like sharing pizza with the entire East Bay crew. Sharing is caring, right?
There were a plethora of toppings from sun dried tomatoes to sliced potatoes. My pizza consisted of a pesto base, hand pulled mozzarella, pancetta, Milan pepperoni, Italian sausage, basil, and sliced potatoes. Very savory! One thing I would have added was a little bit of a kick, like peppers or hot sauce. I wish I was able to taste the toppings before I chose them… maybe it wouldn’t hurt to make that special request next time?
Appetizers
Calamari — Before we got to make the pizzas, we were treated to a couple of appetizers. The calamari was pretty standard fare. I was glad to see that they were not just strips or rings, tentacles were included! I grew up eating squid and this is exactly how I like it. The spicy sauce was also a nice touch; it tasted like a chipotle aioli, but I’m not 100% certain.
Caprese skewers — This was not my favorite appetizer, but the mozzarella was fresh and had a nice texture. All the ingredients were freshly picked, chosen, or prepared – a staple to any good restaurant. If you’re a fan of mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes, this is the appetizer for you.
Cocktail
Ciao Bella with ‘Slow and Low’ Rye whiskey — Okay, I’m not a fan of whiskey, so I’m not the best judge for this drink. Overall, it tasted nice, but this stuff was strong and went down smooth and easy… a horrible combination for a lightweight like me. I was pretty satisfied with one or two sips, but by the end of the night I had to order a vodka cranberry to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Dessert
Tiramasu — Ummm… delicious! I wish I could have had more but I was incredibly full by the end of the night!
BUILD Staff
The staff at BUILD were some of the friendliest, most accommodating people I have ever met in the restaurant industry. Down to earth and kind! The owners talked to just about every Elite, while juggling the other parts of the restaurant. The pizza makers also gave a very fun pizza tossing demonstrations, and even let a few of us try out hand. Not many places let customers see the pizza making process, let alone let us touch the pizza while it’s being made.
Space
I’m in love this the interior of BUILD Pizzeria. From the outside, the storefront doesn’t seem like much with it’s dark navy blue paint, but inside the space is modern and fresh. The bar setup is fantastic – large enough to accomodate groups but small enough to hold an intimate gathering… or flirt your way across the bar. I got to meet Elites I had met on previous occasions, such as John M. (Crocker Galleria), Philip D. (Forge Pizzeria), and Ryan L. who was kind enough to bring me as his plus one! I even got to meet awesome new Unilocalers (and their plus ones) like Surge C. and Lorrayne L. This was an absolutely fantastic venue to get to know other Elites. By the end of the night, I had come out great stories and met some pretty wonderful people!
As always thank you to Nique and all the Unilocal East Bay crew who make Elite events such an amazing experience! BUILD Pizzeria definitely made a customer out of me.

I feel as though I say this every time I go to an YEE: by far my favorite event, yet! Nique, once again with grace and pizazz, outdoes herself again. :) Met a lot of fresh & new faces mostly because the last East Bay event I went to was months and months ago! Good food companions to accompany the awesome Slow & Low cocktails, beer, appetizers, & pizza!
Dranks– bartenders were really friendly and fast providing whiskey base cocktails (or whiskey on da rocks) for alcohol thirsty Unilocalers. Indulged in a drink or 2 (more like 5). Ciao Bella was the signature drink with grapefruit drink, whiskey, nutmeg, and more cool things. I liked the ginger ale & whiskey combo too. Twas yummy. When the pizza came, switched to beer. Not any beer, but the Golden State of Mind. Not that I know much about beer, but it was one of the best beers I’ve had. The orange flavor really stood out. My boyfriend loved the after taste.
Food– For appetizers, capri salad on sticks & calamari! SO GOOD. The waiters made a mistake of putting a whole bowl of calamari on our table, which we proceeded to devour, dipping fried goodness into 2 types of sauces. OBVIOUSLY, the pizzas were the star of this event. I was super psyched to have my name picked to build a pizza! I put pesto, mozzarella, brie, artichoke hearts, salami, and pancetta. I was pretty proud of the creation. It was pretty frickin’ yummy. :) To top it off, got delicious tiramisu bites. Perfection!
Activity– pizza dough throwing. Not even joking, but I’ve wanted to try throwing dough since forever! Victor, our teacher and inspiration, was SO charismatic and just awed the crowd. As we ooohed and ahhhed with gasps of surprise as he threw spinning dough at unsuspecting Unilocalers, I couldn’t really think of a better way to end the night, playing pizza dough frisbee.
I definitely want to visit BUILD again to build another pizza. We got to meet the owners who were lovely wife & husband restaurant owner pair. Super nice and passionate about their awesome restaurant. Made me wish I was living at Berkeley still with all the unique food institutions, BUILD is a great addition! :)

This was the perfect event to bid Adieu to my East Bay Elite community.
I’m not a huge pizza person, but I figured this place must be a hot spot since an event was being held here. To my surprise, I not only enjoyed the pizza– I loved it! I can’t remember the specific creations that were made, but I left very satisfied with everything I sampled. It was nice to see some familiar faces– John M., John Z., and Vanessa. I was glad to finally meet Eugene and Ryan in person! Great atmosphere, good conversations, and amazing staff.
Thank you Nique for another fabulous event!

Unilocal has done it again!!!
Having been in Berkeley for 2 years, I thought I’ve tried it all. Upon entry, I was warmly welcomed by the hostesses. They brought my plus one «Jenny L» and I some waters as we waited in line. Only natural considering we were the first ones there. We were both swept off of our feet at the design of BUILD. I can’t think of a better place more suitable for ALL crowds. Yes, I said all crowds: kids, parents, high school kids, adults, bearded men and women (?), and hipsters. Is there such a place that welcomes such an array of people besides disneyland? Yes, you will find the place at BUILD. They have so much space, lights, and free shows «composition of your specially designed pizza, it’ll blow your mind! KABOOOOOOM!!!
Anyway, I really loved the beers and cocktails served. Although there was only two varieties of beer «golden state of mind» and some other, they were very tasty and flavorful. The cocktail «Chibatta,» which I kept pronouncing as «Ciao Bella» was so delicious it’s as if it’s non-​alcoholic juice. Hipsters, this may be your new favorite drink. As far as the pizza. I’d say it’s meh. Although the pizza is tiny, the ingredients make up for it. I kid you not. Any toppings or variety of odd toppings you add to make your pizza will ALWAYS taste good. In this way, you will never fail! Now here’s a date place where anything you pick will make you a winner if you can handle the modest $$. I will definitely be back here!

Work was stressing me out. So I was very glad that I got into this Elite Event. I chilled out all day. I jumped into my Whip Black Beauty and rolled to BUILD. I parked 5 blocks away and street Hiked to BUILD.
I was greeted by the Lovely Abby S and signed in. I rolled to the Bar and started with the Ales Industries Wheat. and then switched to the Slow And Low Cocktails Yum Yummy.
Got to try some interesting Skewers, I liked those but my Faves were the Calamari, and the Tirimisu and the Many different Pizzas circulating the room.
I like the BUILD concept. Ill stop be there again and create a custom pizza for my self.
I also enjoyed Meeting Surge and Vanessa and hanging out with them.
Thanks Nique and Abby and Build and Slow an Low for another Great YEE!!!
Thanks Slow and Low Rep for the Cool Flask.
2013 The Year Of Trials and Tribulations and Getting Back To Basics!!!

What better pick-​me-​up could there be outside of a Unilocal Elite Event? Why, nothing. Duh.
Strained and exhausted these past few weeks until my brain was about to ooze out of my earholes, I knew I needed something special. Delight was mine to be had when I found out that I had made the cut for this illustrious event, held in a new concept pizzeria that I’d been craving to try since they opened a scant couple months past. Granted, leaving work and meeting up with AJ and JZ at the pool hall down the block prior, I didn’t think that I had enough energy to make it through the night. But all it took was seeing Nique’s lovely welcoming face and the red paper badges, and I was rearing to go!
First off, the cocktails, cus that’s basically all I had last night — amazeballs! The Ciao Bella was made all fancy with mint and nutmeg garnishes by the wonderful ‘tenders of the night. They made it look a cinch to pour these drinks in massive quantities all night long. Kudos to you guys! I only had one of the Ciao Bellas before switching to my regular poison of choice.
Now on to the food — delish! The concept behind the pizza building process is ingenious. Set up in cafeteria style, but so you can’t touch the ingredients and contaminate the bins with your sticky fingers, the courteous prep crew help guide you with smiling faces through the journey of making your own custom pie. The wealth of ingredients they offer is nothing short of outstanding, though I had also hoped to add in anchovies to my creation, which might have helped stop my dish from being consumed before the server made it two steps into our area. Oh wells. I’m sure it must have been delicious with those results to speculate from. I had the appetizers and a couple slices from other pies through the night, and all were simply fantabulous. I even ate the crust, and I never do that with pizza!
With my newfound energy, I was also able to meet a bunch of new people at this shindig. Hello new friends! It was such a delight to meet you all last night. Props to Nique and the whole Unilocal crew for organizing and making this such a smashing success! I stayed until closing, I loved this place so much. You can bet that I’ll be coming back!

The best YEE I have been to and I am paying for it today.
I am new to the east bay squad so I didn’t know what to expect. I have been to YEE’s all over the country and it can really be a hit or miss. Some are cliquey, some aren’t warm and some are just ratchet. I am a potentially short term east bay resident so I figured I’d give it a shot while I am here… and I’m SO glad I did.
Upon walking in, this place is HUGE and I really liked the layout… Plenty of room to move around or grab a seat; I could absolutely see myself and some friends here grabbing a few beers, eating custom built pizza and watching a game. I went to a bar nearby prior to coming to catch the first half of the spurs/​heat game and the TV was small and old, so when I saw the huge flat screens build had I knew I was in for a good time being able to watch the game and attend the event. All of the staff I encountered was nice, welcoming and walked us through the process as it can be a tad overwhelming to pick out toppings on the spot with a massive line behind you. Lucky for me, my name was drawn so I got to build a pizza to share with the Unilocal crew (with the help of Joanna S). my only complaint is that when it came out, people swarmed and I didn’t even know it came out so I didn’t even get to try it =(the plus side is that it must have been good! I finally caught on to the «system» and was able to get a handful of slices in before I was in a food coma. I mentioned this to another Unilocaler and she went to make the same exact pizza so that I could get a slice; that is straight up bff material. The drinks were the winner for me. The cocktail of the night was up to par with some of the best ive ever had… And im not even a whiskey fan (at all); This was sweet and packed a punch. The bartenders were patient, although the drinks could’ve potentially taken a while to make, and friendly. We ordered a few drinks off of the menu which they accommodated to without a flinch.
The best part of the night was the EB community. You guys were all welcoming, friendly, conversational and just an overall damn good time. Shoutout to Nique for being an awesome CM and recognizing me in the crowd… Which can speak volumes. By the end of the night, I left with new friends, blurry memories and a full stomach… What more can you ask for? This event was the happy medium between calm and ratchet that I needed mid-​week because of the crap week I was having. Thanks to build and staff for being awesome hosts, I have nothing but great things to say and will definitely come back. Berkeley has been needing something like this and I am glad I could be a part of it.
Cheers!

Once again Nique and gang hit it out of the park! Who knew that building your pizza is almost as fun as eating it? BUILD is a unique concept, made even better with fresh interesting ingredients and a decent crust.
I created a pizza and was lucky enough to sample it hot right out of the oven. As the evening progressed more pizza was served by very competent and patient servers. Appetizers filled in between pizza and we were never without food!
A fun crowd, made even more fun with the addition of State of Mind Beer and Rock n Rye cocktails. I was delighted to attend this event and promise to return to BUILD to find my inner pizza.

Awesome, awesome event. Nique and the Unilocal gang never disappoints! They can always find an awesome place to host an incredible event! Came with my +1 yesterday, had some dranks, some pizza, calamari, and tiramisu!
The food was veryyy good, good job fellow Elites for creating such scrumptious pies for us to all try. Super fresh ingredients. New crispy but chewy crust. The «garlic» bread was bomb!
The atmosphere was fun, the place was very spacious and clean.
The servers were very very nice as well! They tried their best to run past the initial crowd so that the other people can get pizza too. =]
Definitely will come back here every so often when I’m craving for some gourmet BUILD-​it myself pizza!

With so many pizza places popping up, it’s hard to distinguish yourself. I wanted to try this place since I had heard about it but alas, I was waitlisted. Luckily, Lorrayne graciously offered her plus one to me.
Unilocal took over the bar area which is why this event had a limited amount of space because it’s a pretty big restaurant.
There was a lottery so not everyone got to build their own pizza and most people were able to sample some of the creations. I gotta hand it to y’all, there were some tasty ones that I sampled. I can’t even remember which was my favourite because they were all so good. Kudos to my fellow Unilocal pals for not sticking to just the usual toppings.
Towards the end of the night, Nique brought me a ticket to create my own which I used to make a gluten free pizza with red sauce, crumbled mozzarella, peppers, fennel, egg plant and sun dried tomatoes.
I wish more pizza places offered whole wheat versions because that would let diabetics or borderline diabetics enjoy their pizzas more often.
The cocktails and beers looked tasty. I didn’t try them this time around since I am limiting my alcohol intake.
The tiramisu bites were gobbled up pretty quickly and totally worth the wait. Thanks to Lara for letting me know to save room for dessert.
Overall, this was a fun event — I enjoyed catching up with some of my fellow Unilocal friends and meeting a lot of new ones.
Thanks Nique, Abby, Unilocal and the BUILD staff for letting us build our own pizzas and taking over your bar for a few hours.

Goodbye Pasand… HELLO yet another pizzeria in this densely populated city of pies!!! Simply unfathomable that Berkeley would fit yet another one, but my oh my were the products leaving their wood-​fired ovens and from the mixologists simply high quality last night!
Like a lounge feel with large flat screens, pretty pendant lights in the long, luscious bar area?! You got it! Tried yet another rye whiskey; this one was Slow & Low, infused with honey, bottled in PA. With the flavors of fresh nutmeg and mint, with citrus, that concoction was a beautiful amber martini glass of gold. Main seating room is cavernous! Another winner was Ale Industries’ Golden State of Mind… my kind of brewsky. Gonna hunt for a bottle at Whole Foods.
Starters of prosciutto cantaloupe skewers, mini caprese skewers with the freshest, burst-​in-​mouth mini heirlooms, fritto misto with a red dipping sauce my face wanted to plant into…
Watch your cracker-​like Napoletana-​like pie being prepped and fired… all in plain view! The pies: start with a disc of about 10″ — - choose one of three bases, and go to it. Let your eyes do the talking! My name was chosen to create my own piece
Rosso (red) sauce with fresh burrata, roasted garlic, pancetta, red onions, and broccolini. Why complicate things?’ Many compliments on the pizza i BUILT.
Nique (Bön voyage, friend… do tell about Trail of Crumbs), the Wonder Woman, you did it again!!! So much joy in meeting new friends and having a blast!
And John H— really?! A high 5 for… erm…Little Ceasars? Blasphemy… uttered on the hallowed grounds of Build.
Bathrooms are swank and gorgeous, with toilets separated from long, elegant trough sinks… space is large. As a college student, eating from evil Lakireddy’s Dosas at Pasand, never recalled it being this ginormous.
PS basement is being transformed by BUILD into a soon-​to-​open jazz space. Tapas offered here along with pizza.
PPS in the past half year, I have pigged out on Arinell, Sliver, Cheeseboard, Gioia, new La Val’s, Blondies, Benchmark… and now lopping this like a pole vaulter atop my glutton list:)
PPPS one of the best YEEs I have ever had the guilty pleasure of attending. Only Skates’ shindig and raw bar bested this. And I locked myself out of my house before coming, and it was STILL WORTH IT!

Fantastic YEE last night! Here’s my thoughts for why this was Woohoo! As good as it gets!
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
B is for the BEST concept that is BUILD Pizzeria. Love the community building experience of strolling down a Chipotle style line, drink in hand, designing your pizza (I was lucky enough to win the lottery and get to design a pizza to go out to my fellow Unilocalers). Also love the idea of the toppings changing often based on organic produce in season and what is most fresh.
U is for the UNBELIEVABLE time I had meeting new friends with my plus 1 Betty D.
I is for the INCREDIBLY delicious pizza that was passed around in addition to the melon/​prosciutto and tomato/​mozzerella sticks. Oh and how good was the tiramisu!
L is for how much I LOVE Ale Industries (got to have my favorite Orange Kush which they now call Golden State of Mind) and also drink a fancy cocktail with Slow and Low Whiskey.
D is for ‘Da Bomb which is how I would sum up this event if I was 20 years younger, male, an aspiring rapper and wearing saggy pants. Since I’m not, I’ll just say, WOW, what a great event in an awesome venue with delicious food/​drinks!
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — -
Thanks so much to BUILD for hosting (I’ll be back to make my pesto pizza again), Nique and crew for putting on another fantastic YEE, my fellow Unilocalers for making it fun and Slow and Low/​Ale Industries for joining in the fun.
Unilocal 100 Challenge: 51/​100, pictures #59−65/100

What a great event! I had not gotten a chance to try BUILD Pizzeria, even though I have no good excuse (they are 1 block down from my work). They’ve only been open for 6 weeks and recently started serving lunch (YAY!). Loved the spacious interior of the building, it’s soooo much bigger than it appears from outside. The interior is divided into two parts: a large dining room (next to the pizza ‘Building Station’) and a bar area with flat screen TVs with various sports playing. As an avid sports fan, I was happy to see this! I can envision future evenings here watching NBA/​Stanley Cup finals :)
I was one of the many Unilocalers selected to design a pizza for the group. The ‘Building Station’ reminded me of Chipotle– you start with a foundation (crust), then add any toppings you want. They pop it in the oven for 3 minutes and voila, it’s done! Mine was a masterpiece: pesto foundation, pulled mozzarella, broccolini, shrimp, roasted garlic, oven roasted red onion, and sun dried tomatoes.
The servers came out with the pizzas when they were done and walked through the crowd to distribute small slices. We were able to sample so many different creations. I was hanging out near the ovens watching for mine and was a bit sad when I never saw my pizza come out. Later, I met the nice owner, David and chatted with him about BUILD. I mentioned I had ordered a pizza but sadly never got to try it. He immediately asked me what kind of pizza I had ordered and then 5 minutes later, personally served it to me and my +1 at our table! It was super YUMMY!!! Thanks so much, David! :-)
Besides the pizzas, we were also treated to two types of beer by Ale Industries, Golden State of Mind and Rye’d Piper. Both were really good! The cocktails offered were carefully crafted by the friendly bartenders. Really delicious, even though I’m not much of a whisky fan. Loved the care that went into making them. Also enjoyed the appetizers (caprese salad, prosciutto & cantaloupe, and calamari) and the tiramisu dessert! We left so stuffed from all the tasty treats :)
Thanks to Nique and Unilocal crew for putting on yet another fabulous YEE and introducing us to a fantastic new eatery in Berkeley! I’m sure it’ll give Sliver a run for its money!

I’m always impressed with these Unilocal Elite events (cheers to Nique and the East Bay Elite crew)! The free flowing beverages (I really enjoyed the Golden State of Mind beer), more delicious pizza than my tummy could handle, adorable little tiramisu desserts, pizza dough tossing lessons, and super friendly Unilocalers/​waitstaff made this particular event fabulous. I will definitely return and let my pizza creativity run wild :)

How can you go wrong with pizza, beer, whiskey and Unilocal?
This event was a lot of fun with a lot of good pizza and libations. The organization of the event and food distribution could have been smoother (at first, none of food made it past the first table), but overall it was really fun. The atmosphere at BUILD was great… the space was a lot bigger than I expected so there was plenty of room for the Unilocal event as well as regular dinner patrons.
This was only my 2^nd Elite event and it was fun to meet new people while eating and drinking. I can’t wait for the next event! Thanks Unilocal
