Hey guys,
I'm trying to write a story about two nuns who run a pizzeria in downtown Cincinnati that's just getting ready to reopen in a new location. It's part of an employment program that offers on-the-job training to help low-income people develop their skills and experience.

I'd love to come up with a pizza (or food) related lead for the story, but am drawing a blank. One local paper started the story like this, "The Dominican Sisters of Hope and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur don't have a lot of dough." Get it? This is a great lead, but I obviously need something different.

Any ideas? I've got a serious case of writer's block and need to get this story cranked out this afternoon. Come on - PLEASE - I know you guys can be really creative!

Thanks!

That's better than what I came up with..."The heavenly scent of pizza..."

You're on a roll again today, Katie!
I could use both of these in the same sentence..."A little slice of heaven will soon be available at Venice Pizza when Sisters (fill in their names) get saucy!"

Downtown Cincinnati is about to get a new habit, or several. The Dominican Sisters of Hope and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are relocating their pizzaria to (Blank Street?) with pie in the sky expectations ....

Hope this helps! I'm really out of practice at writing leds.
