NYT - Crust is a Canvas for Pizza's New Wave

We love it that one of our many loyal customers alerted us to this New York Times article on the New Wave of Pizza in the Big Apple . While the article's writer, Frank Bruni, notes "pizza connoisseurs bicker endlessly about where to find the best pies", we say, "It's easy, here we are!"

I think we have amazing crust - when I told a former colleague about Prima Strada the first thing Tony Bucci said to me was, "You know, Cris, it is all about the crust. Nothing else maters." This from an East Coast Italian American who prides himself on knowing pizza. We know Tony, we know and better still we got it!

Where to Eat in Canada? Pizzeria Prima Strada, of course!

Pizzeria Prima Strada has been chosen as one of the best restaurants in the country by the national restaurant guide, Where to Eat in Canada. The guide, now 39 years old, is a big thick book of almost 400 pages! Contributors travel the country from coast to coast and pick the best restaurants in every city and town in Canada. The guide tells readers what each restaurant is like, what it does best, what it costs and when it's open. Mille grazie to Anne Hardy and her team for including PPS! http://www.oberonpress.ca/wheretoeat/

Lunch with Jon at Haliburton Community Organic Farm

Join PPS Chef Jonathan Pulker on Wednesday, July 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for lunch in the garden at Haliburton Community Organic Farm! With only 15 guests around a long table in a pear orchard, this event promises to be relaxing and fun for all.

Proud to pour Driftwood Ale

Pizzeria Prima Strada began pouring new local brewery Driftwood, Driftwood Ale on tap a few weeks ago. Described as a perfect marriage of Northwest and German hops balanced with cotton candy malt notes and a hint of fruit courtesy of Driftwood's own special yeast. Also in the fridge - Driftwood Blackstone Porter - a London-style porter distinguished by a bittersweet chocolate character derived from the delicate balance of a traditional sour mash and a blend of select black and chocolate malts.

Lovely descriptions - bottom line, the beers taste great and even better with Prima Strada pizza!

Three local guys with a lot of passion create Driftwood beers (reminds me of a few other passionate creative people I know). http://www.driftwoodbeer.com/
