Pumpkin Patch and Pizza!

The days are getting colder, but we'll be firing up the oven this Saturday at WSU Organic Farm Harvest Festival from 11-3. Come keep warm by the community fire!

Where Have We Been?

Hello Whole Pie Pizza Eaters! Just a heads up- that I am back to graduate school and busy as heck (hence you have't seen us at the Farmers Markets), but we continue to be available for private catering events! We hope to come toss some pies with you soon! There's nothin' like a fresh baked pizza cooked right on site!

The National Lentil Festival

It's the BIG time tomorrow! Catch us at the National Lentil Festival Friday, from 5-10 pm in downtown Pullman! So excited to cook wood-fired pizza at such an amazing event, for such a wonderful community!

No Market, No Phone!

Sorry to say that for reasons beyond our control, we will not be at saturday market tomorrow in Moscow. No space for the newbies! Apologies to those of you that were planning to grab a pizza. 

On another note, I lost my phone- so if you are in need of catering or a food vendor for any event, fundraiser, etc- please email me at thewholepiepizza@gmail.com

Thanks!

Appreciation and Motivation

Had a rockin' good time this evening at the wednesday Pullman market. We really had a lot of good feedback on the pizza, which I appreciate and gives me motivation to keep slingin' 'em pies:) Thanks Pullman!

Pullman Wednesday Market

The market will have wine, Palouse Women Artists (http://www.palousewomenartists.org/Members.html), music, and pizza this wednesday, 330-6 pm. Wine and pizza, a match made in.....the Spot Shop parking lot at 240 Kamiaken St :) So, come by to relax and enjoy some live music, art and wine while savoring a local, fresh Whole Pie pizza!

Farmer's Market with an Anniversary Deal Twist 7/14/12

We're gonna be at the Moscow Farmer's Market tomorrow from 8-1. Sorry we missed ya'll last weekend, we were cooking for a wedding rehearsal dinner at Schierman's Clubhouse and Event Center http://www.schiermans.com/  It was a lovely, laid back event- much like Tessa and my rehearsal dinner which happened exactly 1 year ago today!!!

Come congratulate us tomorrow on our 1 year wedding anniversary!!! AND, since love is in the air- we will have a special offer- if you book a pizza catering event for your anniversary, reunion, or any group gathering- we will cook you up a pizza for free at the market tomorrow and take 10% off your total catering price. WOW, love makes us crazy and generous:)

Menu Special:
We're gonna try out a pizza with a home-made white Ranch sauce with sausage, red onion and roasted pasilla peppers. Some may shout blasphemy! Others love Ranch! We'll see how it goes:) My rebel spirit likes to disregard any unwritten pizza rules, so I say anything can go on a pizza. Hope to see you out there!

We'll also be highlighting local garlic scapes and basil from Deep Roots Farm... being harvested by the "better half" of The Whole Pie Pizza (my wife Tessa) right now as I type... http://www.deep-roots-farm.com/

Give. And You Shall Receive.

 A little shameless self-promotion- we got some local press in the Moscow/Pullman Daily News:) Chiggity-check it out! And while Im at it, we spent Saturday evening at Palouse Falls Brewery helping with the Dollars for Dallas event to raise money for cancer treatment for Dallas Meyer. It was a wonderful evening with great people. Contact me if you would like to donate. 

This week, I am preparing for a private wedding rehearsal dinner on friday, so we will not be at the farmers markets this week.

Moscow Farmer's Market Tomorrow!

We will be at Moscow Farmer's Market tomorrow debuting a breakfast pizza: "The Brizza". We may even brew up some fresh, warm coffee to go along with it! We should be on the corner of Main and 3rd St from 8-1 pm... See ya there!

Pullman Farmer's Market

Our first market was a blast! I was blown away by the gratitude and generosity of all the farmers/sellers/growers and customers.

We walked away with bags of free lettuces from Jason and Margaret of Omache Farm. In addition, we were given a seeded baguette, a muffin, and a tomato plant, and I think even more!

With a dough tray of dough left and 10 minutes left in the market, I exclaimed "5 dollar pizza sale!" And we fervently hammered out 10 or 15 more beautiful pizza pies to feed the hungry Pullman crowd. What did I learn? Pullman people love 5 dollar pizza, especially the one's with home-mode pesto on them:)

See ya'll next week...

Pullman Farmer's Market Tonight! 6/20/12

Warm weather, community, and fun: come join us!

Artwalk, Moscow ID, 6/15/12

Thank you to everyone that came out to Artwalk in Moscow and blew away our expectations! We sold out of everything we brought with an hour to go, which really shows what a supportive wonderful community we live in! It was fun meeting so many new people and next time we'll bring more ingredients!

Some of you inquired about catering. I look forward to chatting with you to plan out an amazing event. I swear you'll have my full attention unlike at Artwalk where I was busily making pizzas!

Artwalk, Moscow ID 6/15/12

Come catch a hot, fresh Whole Pie pizza this Friday from 4-9 pm at Artwalk in downtown Moscow, ID! It is our first public event!


Check out one of my latest creations using beautiful local arugula and purple chive blossoms from the wonderful Marci and Greg of Deep Roots Farm in Moscow ID!

Tessa volunteers at Deep Roots every friday. It is such a pleasure to develop a relationship with the land and people that produce food WITHIN  our community.  I hope you'll support Marci and Greg at the Moscow Farmer's Market and through trying out a Whole Pie Pizza!                                                                                                                              

The rise of the food truck

Bringin' a little bit of Portland to the Palouse! BTW, my Whitman County department of health permit is coming in the mail and I should be starting at the Pullman Farmer's Market very soon...

I am now "Permit"ted by the Department of Health to cook and sell pizza in the entire state of Idaho! 

The Fire Inside

Here's a sneak peak of what is to come. There's nothin' better than staring at the beautiful waves of fire, while cooking mouth-watering pizzas for my community.





You bring the FUN, and I'll bring the FIRE!

New Year Brings New Pizza

It's time to get excited on the Palouse! If you are a fan of local businesses, local ingredients, fun in the community, or just quality/artisan pizza- then you are in for a treat! Come early May, 2012- "The Whole Pie Pizza: Mobile Wood-Fired Catering" will be cruising around the Palouse, stoking big fires, and feeding hungry crowds.

I went on a bit of a break during the holiday season, but I am now officially formed as a LLC (Limited Liability Company) and have my order in for my trailer/oven. It will look something like this...

 I'll be driving out to The Fire Within workshop in Boulder CO to pick up the trailer mounted oven on March 31st.
