A PIZZA BAR IS BORN!!! Open for lunch & dinner in Seaside

[Beach Runner]

Quatro Formaggio, Onion, Margherita, and Funghi all are approved. Calimari tender and tasty, Frito Misto perfecto, Ceasar salad magnifico.

Just overheard - "it's the best salad ever".

YAY!

Regarding the Olive Oil, it shouldn't have to be noted, but only Extra Virgin Olive Oil should be considered. The darker, the better -- full of flavor! I'm hungry again, and suddenly want to try another pizza, but this time with Olive Oil.

What acidities do you prefer? I like different acidities for different purposes.

BTW, Dave, you rock!

Just thought I'd mention that I've had Pizza Bar for three meals in two days, and I've skipped breakfast both days.

Isn't funny how all the food critics have spoken on this thread? It's such a joy to be able to heap praise on a new place.

So far, I've had the Caprese Salad, the Roasted Peppers, Farmer's Market Pizza, Funghi Pizza -- all were extraordinarily good. The Farmer's Market pizza was above and beyond...the vegetables are described on the menu as shaved, and they are so thin that you get the flavor of the vegetables but no weeping, no soggy crust. It's topped with arugula -- and the contrast of the sweetness of the roasted veggies with the bite of the arugula makes this one the best pizza I've ever eaten.

Pretty darn strong for a brand spanking new restaurant.

Leave some food for me!

and FIRST cold pressed

 

[Dave Rauschkolb]

We have and always will use cold pressed EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil. I struggled with mentioning it on every menu item because it takes up so much space to say it so instead I am just stating "olive oil" it is a given and expected that it WILL be EVOO on all our menus.

Capellini Pomadori is now on the menu at PIZZA BAR

I approved the addition of Capellini Pomadori to the menu; thanks to bluemtnrunner for poking ED and it is now on the menu Tootsie, Thanks for the suggestion; Also we added Steamed Mussels. and a fresh basil option on the pizzas. Bueno appetito !!

as long as we're making suggestions for Dave who already has the perfect restaurant and menu in place (no kidding)... why can't we have a side of capellini with that wonderful wonderful tomato sauce found on the pizza? sorry, I'm a pasta freak. I'm not complaining - I can very happily enjoy the wood fired pizza in the absence of pasta because its truly fantastico!

Excellent customer service and attention to detail. You are doing a great job of leading the way by communicating with your customers and doing what you can to please them. I hope other owners and mangers take note.

 

[Smiling JOe]

Great news, Dave. I am of the belief that fresh basil should be on all pizza. My server gladly added the Basil per my request.

 

[Teresa]

I put the Capellini Pomadori idea in Chef Ed's ear. It is one of his favorites and the first time he prepared it for me I decided that I would definitely marry him. He just let me know that he will get it on the menu for us. Oh I can taste the fresh basil and roasted local tomatoes now!
I love that man

I owe ya bluemtrunner!
