What’s On The Menu?!

Meaty Pie – We start this wood fired pizza with a base of homemade tomato sauce (yep, the tomatoes are straight from the garden), then layer it with slices of pepperoni from Autumn’s Harvest Farm in Romulus New York. Then we add diced peppers (also locally sourced) and top it off with a three cheese blend of NY cheddar, mozzarella and provolone. [$11.00]

Suggested Wine Pairing: Cayuga Ridge Estate Cabernet Franc

Fall Harvest – We start this wood fired pizza with a base of locally sourced caramelized onions and chevre from Lively Run. Then we add to that dollups of an apple cider seasoned butternut and buttercup squash puree (seriously,it’s good). And when we’re done firing it, we finish this pizza with a generous drizzle of butternut squash seed oil from our friends at Stony Brook WholeHeartedFoods. [$10.50]

Despite Mary Jane being under the weather (she spent most of the day in bed), what a neat day it turned out to be…

Feeding the fire and cleaning up during an after lunch lull, The Copper Oven was greeted today by Greg Woodworth and Kelly Coughlin (and Greg’s parents) of Stony Brook WholeHeartedFoods.

Stony Brook are the makers of a locally produced 100% expeller pressed butternut squash seed oil. And Greg and Kelly were nice enough to bring us a bottle to try (which of course we opened immediately… Think: toasted nut buttery goodness).

Here are a couple of pictures of what just may be our newest pizza… Stony Brook Butternut Squash Seed Oil, Caramelized Onion and Herbed Chevre.

After we said goodbye to Greg and Kelly, the next few veggie pizzas that we made were with the Stony Brook oil. The feedback? Keep using it on your pizzas (please)…
