Wood Fire Pizzas!
The Idea came from my Queen... The Oven came from Italy...
The Pizza experience came from NYC... The Rest came from my heart!
The Concept
It is inspired by the "Brains and Beauty" that is The Metropolitan Grill, my wife Cheri. Pizza and Champagne being two of her most favorite things.
I call our Pizza style "NY-Politan" as it's a hybrid of New York style and Italy's Neapolitan Style. Our pizza is cooked in a unique Wood Fired Oven at 600-700 degrees. Our Pizza has 3 key Ingredients: Great Crust, Great Sauce, Great Cheese.
The Oven - The Church.
History meets technology in this Wood fired oven from Italy. It uses a combination of Natural Gas and burning Pecan wood on a mechanical stone hearth that rotates to give our pizza a one of a kind finish and flavor. A Big Thank you to the Cosentino Brothers in New York.
The Crust - The Soul.
After sending our own Chef Trina to NY to Pizza school we finally have our own unique "House Crust"! With a little kitchen science, some NY mixed in and a dash of Metro, the dough is now better than ever!
We also offer a
10 inch Die Cut Wheat flour
extra thin crust (+$2)
as well as a
10 Gluten Free Cauliflower Crust (+$4)
The Sauce - The Passion.
Our sauce is a true labor of love. It is a Four hour long process that starts with slow roasting Roma tomatoes, fresh garlic cloves, onions, honey, aged balsamic, and fresh herbs. We then blend all that goodness with Italy's famous San Marzano Plum Tomato's.
The Cheese - The Emotion
After a long and adventurous journey, I found what in my opinion is the best pizza cheese ever! It is a low moisture, whole milk signature cheese blend of shredded, Mozzarella and Provolone from the most premier cheese company in the U.S. The Grande Cheese Company in Wisconsin
**Vegan Cheese Available (+$3)
