Twice Baked, Toum Marble potatoes that we bake once in the oven, then again in the woodfired pizza oven. The hotter oven gives a broiling effect and creates a nice crust to the potatoes.

Salads
Wood Fired Flatbreads
- Sweet Heat$25.00Out of stock
Pixiu Chili Oil, Thistle Honey, Spicy Italian Sausage, Burrata, Fennel Pollen Honey, the dominating flavor in this dish, pairs well with younger wines (beaujolais) Honey forms the base on this flatbread. It's supplemented by extra virgin olive oil. The honey caramelizes the spicy italian sausage and creates a wonderful collaboration of sweet, salty and spicy. We garnish with calabrian chili oil, fennel pollen, and three dollops of burrata from our distributor Sogno Toscano which sources its ingredients directly from Italy.
- Margherita$21.00
San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Buffalo Milk Mozzarella, Basil Pairs best with zesty whites (Pinot Grigio) or medium bodied reds (Sangiovese) The base is the tried and true san marzano tomato sauce. We blend it with fresh garlic, basil, and some olive oil. Freshly picked basil leaves, ripped buffalo milk mozzarella are baked on top for a classic look of the face of neapolitan style pizzas.
- Garden Pea Pesto$23.00
Onion cream, zucchini, loose greens (arugala), lemon EVOO, vegan parmesan The lemon oil and zucchini are the most prevalent flavors, so the best wines to push are crisp dry whites, or high acid whites (Albarino, Sauv blanc, Chablis) Named for the Italian slang word for zucchini. This flatbread is the vegan/vegetarian option for our menu. The base is a loose puree made from Spanish onion, sweated in olive oil, and blended in a vita prep with oat milk, and salt. We then scale zucchini like pepperoni, and bake off. Once at the expo, we hit it with some arugula, lemon olive oil and crunchy salt.
- The Pioneer$24.00
Braising liquid, short rib, blue cheese, mustard seed jam, fried onions Look to push medium bodied reds with medium tannins to pair with this rich dish. (Cabs, Shiraz, Bordeaux) We use the braising liquid from cooking the short ribs as the base for this flatbread. The sauce consists of red wine, beef stock, carrots, onions, garlic, thyme rosemary and celery. Shredded short ribs and blue cheese are then baked on to the flatbread, and then finished with fried onions and mustard seed jam.
