The Archer's visit Pizzeria Prima Strada


The Archer family visited PPS this past Tuesday night. Here's the note they sent us along with a few pictures:

We wish to thank you for a wonderful first visit to Pizzeria Prima Strada on the evening of June 16th, yesterday. Darrel’s brother and sister in law (Chris and Carol) were visiting from Calgary and we celebrated by eating at your Pizzeria. I attach photographs as promised.

The food was delicious, the Caprese salad, the Margherita pizza and the evening’s special, followed by gelato and cappuccino. We have had so many recommendations to eat at your restaurant and this was our first opportunity. We will be back.

We told the girls before at milking this morning about their photographs on your walls and they seemed duly impressed as they chewed their cud.

Sincere best wishes,
Anthea and Darrel

Limoncello & Amaro

Spring brings some new additions to our Italian beverage offerings. Limoncello to start your meal and Montenegro Amaro to finish (or the other way around or right in the middle...you decide).

The "La Materdomini" Limoncello is a family-run company from Campania http://www.lamaterdomini.it/. This delicious liqueur is made by hand-peeling Sorrento Lemons (from the Amalfi Coast). According to ancient tradition, this method preserves all of the aroma and fragrance. Made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar Limoncello is sweet and lemony, but never sour as it contains no lemon juice. Served very cold and great in a Prosecco cocktail!

Montenegro Amaro Bitters is made just outside of Bologna. Made with over forty different herbs from around the world, it is known for its sweetness and gently bitter finish. Created in 1885, this 125 year old product is very popular in Italy and around the world. It even has a Facebook page with over 150,000 fans! It can be enjoyed straight, with soda and lemon rind or hot. We serve it on the rocks with a slice of orange.

Other beverage news to get excited about.....a beautiful new chalkboard made just for us! A handy tool for a wine geek like myself who just can't fit enough wine on the list. Look for featured wines coming soon! - Ceri

PS - Jon will tell you the chalkboard is to feature our pizzas and tasty seasonal eats but really, it is all about the wine :)

How to re-heat your Prima Strada Pizza Pie

We understand you can't always stick around to eat your pie in the pizzeria. But, we've gotta tell you, while fast food pizzas are literally designed to sit in a box, neapolitan pizza is meant to be enjoyed right out of the oven! Our pizza will "wilt" after time spent in a box. To revive your pizza, we recommend you try the following: Preheat your oven and a pizza stone or baking sheet to 500. Remove pizza from box and place in the oven on the pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake until cheese bubbles (about 2 to 3 minutes). Use caution when removing hot pizza from the oven. Buon Appetito!

When you have a little more time, try eating one of our pies fresh from our wood fired oven. It'll give you a good understanding of the crispy yet chewy texture of our old world dough. We pride ourselves in creating the city's finest Artisan Pizzas and we hope you will have an opportunity to sit in our cozy pizzeria and enjoy the atmosphere, the people and of course, the pizza.
