PPS Mobile Oven at Category 12 Brewery

Craft beer and pizza aficionados unite!

PPS’ mobile wood-fired pizza oven is ready for action this summer! The benefits of sun, craft beer and wood-fired pizza are unlimited, especially when two local, family-owned and award-winning businesses come together.

Join us this summer, Thursday – Sunday 12pm – 7pm for wood-fired pizza and a pint on location at Category 12 Brewing at 2200 Keating Cross Road.

We love a good celebration, especially one that includes a favorite partner. Category 12’s official designation as a tasting room is a big accomplishment, certainly worthy of pizza party!

Fantasy Pizza Night at PPS Cook

Fantasy Night Pizza – what’s that you ask? Let us tell you …

For years now (almost 10!) we’ve been asked about those “other” toppings. At PPS, we stick with the traditional and use ingredients typically found on or inspired by traditional Neapolitan pizza. But for one night only, we got a little crazy (or as they say in Italian, pazzo) and add toppings to pizzas you’ve never seen before (and might not ever see again). And we did it Prima Strada style.

It was crazy, awesome and maybe even a little weird (in a really delicious way). Yes, there was pineapple, iceberg lettuce, house made ranch dressing and so much more. And all on our award winning wood fired pizzas! We served up five deliciously creative Fantasy Pizzas along with PPS’ top 3 pies – Margherita, Salsiccia and Funghi.

In case you missed it, our Fantasy pizzas:

Taco – pulled pork, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, cheddar cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce and house ranch dressing Perogi – rosemary garlic oil base, potato, tesa, sauerkraut, caciocavallo, sour cream and fresh chives Hawaiian – tomato base, house smoked ham, roasted pineapple, mozzarella, chilis Donair – garlic butter base, spicy beef, parmigiano, mozzarella, tomato, “Donair Sauce” and fresh…

Riot Brewing Cask Night at PPS Cobble Hill

Love wood fired pizza and local beer? If you’re vigorously nodding, we’ve got just the thing. It’s true, there’s no better combination. Pizza and beer really are the best of friends and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Chemainus locals, Riot Brewing, for our first cask night at PPS Cobble Hill.

Franz Dessombes, Executive Chef at Pizzeria Prima Strada helped out at the brewery. “We were fortunate to be a part of the hands-on process when it came time to tweak the ‘Life Partners Pale Ale’ cask. We know you’ll like the sour cherry and thyme twist – plus it pairs really nicely with pizza so everybody wins!”

“Riot is a great partner for us,” Dessombes continues. “They brew classic and true-to-style beer and are a very fun team to work with. The event will be a excellent way to introduce both businesses into the authentic and thriving food and beverage community in the Cowichan Valley.

“Pizza and beer is a classic combination, so when The Pizza Man called, we answered. Cask…
