A Slice of Our Markets Offers A Piece of Our Hearts

This year’s Slice of Our Markets was filled with unforgettable moments that will stay with us long after the last slice of pizza was eaten.

Each guest enjoyed a tour of our farmers’ market, in which their guide highlighted the vendors whose fresh produce would later top their pizzas. They traced each ingredient’s journey from farm stand to plate, witnessing their meal come together before their eyes.

From the market, the tour flowed into nearby Vintage Berkeley, where wine was poured and pizzas were hand-thrown as guests watched. When the pizzas were later pulled from the oven, they were laden with the season’s bounty:

• creamy cheeses from Stepladder Creamery bubbling with sweet figs from Riverdog Farm,
• golden squash blossoms and tender summer squash from Golden Rule Organics,
• bursts of red cherry tomatoes from Lucero Organic Farm,
• a scatter of fragrant basil leaves from Ald & Y Organics,
• drizzles of Frog Hollow Farm olive oil deepened the flavor of Dirty Girl Produce tomatoes,
• and Stepladder’s Fromage Blanc, Lumber Jack, and Bixby cheeses added richness to every slice.

Each bite carried the freshness of the fields straight to us.
