Okay, alright… This is our last weekend of the 2011 season. Come visit from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM or be forced to wait until May 2012 for our irresistible wood fired pizza.

Happy Halloween to you and yours!

Wood Fired Pizza

BBQ Pizza – We start this pie with a slather of Chef Lerman’s Black-Strap Yankee Bar-B-Q Sauce, add some cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and then give it a few slices of sweet sausage from Autumn’s Harvest Farm in Romulus, NY. Come get it! [$12.00]

Autumn Harvest – This veggie pizza starts with generous dollops of everything good including Lively Run chevre, oven roasted squash puree, and if dollops of caramelized onion are possible well then there you go. Now for the best part – it’s finished with an apple cider reduction from local apples (boiled down by MJ herself). [$12.00]

Wine

Try the Cayuga Ridge Estate Riesling (which recently won Germany’s Best Riesling of the New World 2010 award) or your favorite red or white.

By the glass [$6.00]

Indulge in a homemade treat from Loon Cliff Specialities!

The 26 Mile Pizza – Perhaps our most popular veggie pizza, we call this one the 26 Mile because 100% of its toppings are locally sourced (within 26 miles of where our wood fired oven sits). We start it with a base of locally sourced caramelized peppers and onions and chevre from Lively Run. And when we’re done firing it, we finish this pizza with a drizzle of Butternut Squash Seed Oil from our friends at Stony Brook WholeHearted Foods. [$12.00]

For our 2011 season opening (May 14th and 15th) Mary Jane has decided to bring back both a favorite and something new. The favorite is for the those of you who’ve been asking for it – the prosciutto pizza. And a new asparagus pizza will be unveiled as well. Additional menu details (including desserts!) will be provided as we get closer to open weekend.

Until then, we wish you and yours a Happy Mother’s Day!
