Year in Review 2018 – PPS by the numbers!

Yes, it’s the PPS Year in Review 2018! Before we jump into 2019, let’s forget the resolutions and savour some of the really good things from 2018. By good things of course we mean pizza!

Our sincere thanks for making 2018 so memorable. We’re lucky to have an amazing community and we’re beyond grateful for your support. We wouldn’t be where we are without you!

2018 marked the 10th year of Pizzeria Prima Strada and we celebrated with bubbles! Our newest house wine, PPS Frizzante, continues our partnership with Averill Creek Vineyard. PPS Frizzante is 100% estate grown in the Cowichan Valley, right here on Vancouver Island! Salute! Along with the many pizzas, we’re proud to have served up our house made products (made with love by hand). In addition to dough our team made pans of gelato and sorbetto and miles of pepperoni!

Our communities – with three locations on Vancouver Island, we were fortunate to contribute to many the schools, sports and local programs in the neighbourhoods we live and work in. A few highlights from 2018: winning the Golden Garbage Award for most trash pick up on Earth Day, adding a Little Free Library to PPS Fort St.,…

Win FREE pizza – Back to School

The new normal for most people after Labour Day (including but not limited to parents, students…) is shockingly different than the sun kissed week prior. Meetings are not put off any longer, school zones are back in effect, lunches are made the night before and hero parents effortlessly get dinner on the table every night.

Let PPS help! We could go on about the simplicity of our wood-fired pizza toppings and the overwhelming health benefits (both physical and emotional) of eating with us but at the end of the day, we just want you to eat pizza. So much so we’re willing to give it away! Yes, free pizza.

Join PPS this September (Starting Monday, September 10th), fill out a ballot and enter to win free pizza! That’s it! Winner receives pizza once a week for four weeks paired with Victoria’s Abeego reusable beeswax wrap.

Winner at every pizzeria, winner selected at random, draw date October 1, 2018.

Summer of Spritz at PPS

Try one, or all! They are delicious, trust us.

Starting June 18th – it’s the Summer of Spritz at PPS and our new and improved line up is both tempting and delicious. These 4 thirst-quenching beauties are ideal on the patio but honestly, just as refreshing indoors paired with the classic Magherita or perhaps the Rucola e crudo.

With a nod from the Cocktail Gods, our talented bartenders including Scott Wronko and former PPS staffer Garet Kay collectively inspired and enhanced these drinks!

Try our new Campari Chinotto, Blueberry, Mint-Basil or the classic Italian favourite Aperol Spritz. All PPS Spritz feature Prima Frizzante, made in the Cowichan Valley by our friends at Averill Creek. We’re excited for you to try one, or all! Let us know which one is your favourite by tagging #summerofspritz.

Cin cin!

Negroni Week June 4 – 10

Water for plants, negroni for me.

You know you’re special when you get your own week! Join us in celebrating one of the world’s great cocktails, the negroni. A delicious combination of Campari, Gin & Vermouth – it’s a classic Italian cocktail.

For every negroni purchased at any of our pizzeria’s, PPS will donate $1 to raise money for Little Free Library. Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that inspires a love of reading, builds community and sparks creativity by fostering neighbourhood book exchanges around the world. We were so inspired last year, we built our very own in Cook Street Village!

Cin cin!
