Camp Pizza

7/29/2015

Do you see that? That's Will's father's day gift and physical proof that there is no faster way to a child’s heart than through pizza. 

They too know this natural law over at Common Threads Farm. They know that in order to get a child to fall in love with growing, preparing, and eating real food, you have to focus the education around easy to like favorites. And what’s everyone’s favorite? Pizza, of course.

Last week we had the rare privilege of hosting Common Thread’s Camp Pizza as they ate their way through Fairhaven while learning the intricacies of making a great pie. From sprouting of the first seed to the finished, hot-from-the-oven slice, Camp Pizza walks kids through the story of their pizza by giving them hands-on and tastebuds-on experience growing, harvesting, preparing and eating their very own pies. As a part of this adventure, they field-tripped it (literally for one scrapped up little camper we Band-aided) from their home base at WWU’s Outback Farm to our Fairhaven location, then to the Wednesday Farmers Market and onto Drizzle for an olive oil tasting.

Fully cementing their ambitions of pizza tossing fame, Will showed these youngins how to correctly toss pizza dough, spread it lovingly with sauce, load toppings for the perfect ratio of toppings to crust, and guide the creation carefully toward the flame to ensure our signature crust crispness.

And these kids are smart cookies. They were asking fabulous questions, like “Do you make your own cheese?” and “Do you grind the flour you use for your dough?” Wow! These are kids who’ve learned a thing or two about food. 
Picture
And I’ll tell you, they were certainly happy campers when they left. Look at those faces.
Picture
To top it off, we got these beautiful thank you cards a little later. High praise indeed: “I love, love, love your pizza” and “Thank you for the best pizza ever!” 
Picture
Common Threads, it looks like we won over another small band of influential kids in the fight for real, locally grown, delicious food.

A Surprise for You

7/20/2015

 
I hope you have been enjoying these warm, lazy days of…. Summertime. And we hope the livin’ has been easy. Plenty of hammock time. Plenty of kickin’ back and watching the sunset. Plenty of play time.

For us, not so much. Not this year. That’s not to say that we aren’t totally in love with our garden and enjoying the simple pleasures that come with grazing on backyard berries and squealing with delight when our first tomato and first melon show their wee little globular heads. And it is with startled satisfaction (and maybe a little fear?) that we watch the pie pumpkin gain feet of sprawl in a few short days and rule supreme over the less ambitious plants. (Is it our imagination, or is that vine headed for the back door?)

Picture
Frankly though, we’re exhausted. While you've been out enjoying all that northwest Washington has to offer, we’ve been slaving away. Yes, pleasurably in the garden at times, but mostly we’ve been scheming, running around, and losing sleep this summer so that we can present you with a special gift come fall. 

"Gift? How thoughtful. What gift?" you say. 

Well, we were thinking about you, our beloved customer, and thinking about how you enjoy the outdoors and all the events and activities that Whatcom County has to offer, so we've been building you a little something to make your play time tastier. 


Do you want just one teeny tiny little peek? Yes? Okay. I’ll pull back a corner of the decorative wrapping to give you the slightest glimpse. Go ahead, shake it. Rattle it. Guess its contents. But don’t open it until those pumpkins have been turned into pie. 

Awe, am I teasing you? Am I tormenting you? Am I tantalizing you with a glimpse, but only a glimpse? Yes, shamelessly, I am. 

Here. 


It. 


Is.

Oops. Wrong photo. 

That was an early idea, but Woodstone said the oven needed something a wee bit bigger.
Picture
There we go. That's the real thing. Do you see that? That’s a drawing of our dream and our gift. With hard work and perseverance (don’t all good things come this way), it’s coming to life as we hash out the final design details with our friends at TriVan in Ferndale. That’s right. These fine folks are expertly crafting our third location. A third location on wheels. Wheels? Yep, wheels. This puppy will be able to bring our delicious pizza to you! Same great pizza cooked in the same locally made Woodstone oven. (Yes, friends, we are putting a 3600 pound oven on a mobile pizza trailer. Only our buddies at TriVan are talented enough to pull that one off!)

Watch for it this fall. Pizza’zza Mobile will be where you are: your favorite festivals, concerts, and fairs; your best friend’s wedding; parked next to your favorite brewery; or at your hip company picnic. Pizza’zza Mobile will bring Bellingham’s favorite pizza to you. And we are so excited about it; we just had to peel back the shiny paper and let you take just the smallest peek inside. 


Already planning an event and thinking Pizza'zza Mobile would be the perfect addition? Let's chat: will@pizzazza.com. We're booking events for November onward.

Pizza'zza Picnic'zza

7/2/2015

 
Since the 4th of July is right around the corner, we thought we’d share a recipe to help you plan your holiday festivities. Remember that we like to support your celebrating any way we can, so we’ll be open regular hours this 4th of July. Come celebrate with us!

Recipe for an outrageous Bellingham summer:

Ingredients:
  • String of sunshiney 80+ degree days
  • 1 attractive location, beach-front or shady park preferred
  • 1 blanket
  • Your favorite beverage
  • 1 Pizza’zza pizza or 2 or 10
  • A healthy dose of good cheer 
  • A delightful companion (optional)
  • Your favorite dog, cat, bird, lizard, or other pet (optional)

Set first ingredient aside for later use. 

Use this map to find an attractive location that suits you.

Using a telephone, call in pizza order to closest Pizza’zza. Allow oven and stovetop to remain off so as not to overheat home. Allow Pizza’zza staff to suffer in the sweltering heat of the pizza oven. Turn on fan and pour a glass of iced tea. You deserve it. Just thinking about the oven has likely made you sweat. 

Gather blanket, beverage, good cheer, and companions. Mix gently. Pour into large or small locomotion device, such as a car, bicycle, red wagon, or skate board. Be careful not to over-mix; some ingredients may be fragile and/or irritable in the heat. Using map, GPS, or memory, make your way to Pizza’zza. 

Upon entering, greet employee and kindly ask if your order is ready. Smile. Say, “Hot enough for ya’?” Smile again. Say thank you. Tip the friendly pizzarista behind the counter if it pleases you. Pay for pizza. Exit building. Gently pour pizza into other ingredients in locomotion device. Mix well, but gently, to avoid dissolving good cheer.

Proceed to pre-determined attractive location. Locate flat-ish shady spot. Gently and without ruffling too many feathers, pour locomotion device ingredients on grassy or sandy ground. Spread blanket evenly. Place remaining ingredients on top of blanket, allowing ingredients to touch only if mutually desired. 

Cook under a sunny sky at 80ish degrees for approximately 1-2 hours until top is slightly browned and inside is soft and relaxed.

This is an old, family recipe. We think it will quickly become one of your family favorites as well. Enjoy and post pictures of how your recipe turned out on our Facebook site.
