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]

Other Goodies

Indulge in a homemade treat from Loon Cliff Specialities!

Rustic. Wood Fired. Local. Arguably The Best Pizza On The Cayuga Wine Trail and In The Finger Lakes Region.

Speaking of The Crazy Ones, a special congratulations goes out to our neighbors at Sheldrake Point Winery who, for the third year in a row, cleaned up at the Canberra International Riesling Challenge with top awards for their 2010 Dry Riesling and Riesling Ice Wine. It is amazing efforts like these that will have surely cemented Finger Lakes wines among the world class.

We’re firing the oven this weekend in the spirit of Steve Jobs, Sheldrake Point Winery and like-minded crazies…

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]

A Couple Of Updates To The Menu

Yesterday MJ started playing around with a BBQ based pizza using Chef Lerman’s Black-Strap Yankee Bar-B-Q Sauce with Chipotle Peppers as a base. By next weekend MJ says she should have all the ingredients for the BBQ pizza nailed down. Yum.

Also, if you frequent Trumansburg Farmer’s Market, you’ll be happy to know that we now carry cookies and scones from Loon Cliff Specialties.

It may be a rainy weekend but there is a lot to do in Finger Lakes Wine Country. If you have some time, you should check out Fox Run’s 19th Annual Garlic Festival. If we can break away from making wood fired pizzas for a little while, that’s where we’re headed. Yum!

Sunny Side Up Pizza – As usual, we start this pie with a base of homemade creme fraiche from local cows (I know, right?) and then give it a few slices of sweet sausage from Autumn Harvest Farm in Romulus, NY. After that we add a three cheese blend. Then some onion scapes (from the garden). And – living up to its name – we top this pizza off with a farm fresh egg! [$12.00]

The 26 Mile Pizza – Back by popular demand, we call this one the 26 mile pizza 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 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. [$11.00]

Oh and, when we’re done firing this pizza, we finish it with a touch of gray sea salt. [$11.00]
