Between the sun and the snow (yes, the snow was flying when we woke up this morning and the weatherman says it’s going to get down to 34 degrees tonight) we want to thank everyone who visited The Copper Oven this weekend.

Special thanks goes out to our Elm Beach Road neighbors, the Kappa Kappa Gamma crew from Syracuse University and all the families who brought their moms and and grandmothers to The Copper Oven at Cayuga Ridge today to celebrate Mother’s Day with feasts of wine and wood fired pizza (long live Batman!).

And continued good feedback on the local ingredients that we use to make our wood fired pizzas: One after another, people who are new to goat cheese realize how much they love Lively Run’s Herbs de Provence chevre. And with the pepperoni (better known as Piggeroni) firing so well, we hope to eventually hear from The Piggery that our customers are going direct to who we think is the best charcuterie in Central New York.

Finally, Mary Jane’s Test Kitchen continued this afternoon… Local ingredients on this largely apple-based Pizza included Red Jacket Orchard’s Apple Butter, local apples from Kingtown Orchards (thinly sliced and soaked in Finger Lakes Distilling Maplejack Liqueur) finished with a drizzle of Waid’s Honey. Mmmmn good…
