Vintage Pizza Pie

We are Richard and Isabelle, we have been happily married for 22 years, we have 3 awesome children and live in beautiful Northumberland County. We love our little farm, with 3 sheep (Mylo, Mr. Bean and Daisie) 7 happy hens & our dog Biscuit.

In 2011, we were fortunate enough to be part of the team at a wonderful winery and vineyard in Hillier, P. E.C. There, we were trained by 3 wonderful chefs from esteemed restaurants: Chef Rocco of Pizzaria Libretto's, Daniel Usher of Ortolan Toronto as well as David Mattachioni of Mattachioni Restaurant & previously at Terroni's They taught us how to make Neapolitan style thin crust pizza.

The plan was always to find a nice looking old fashioned truck as both a mode of transportation for the oven and as part of the presentation, but this. This is way beyond what we expected! We love our Canadian Maple Leaf Chevy! A little truck history.

After sixteen years of enjoying it, Ted and Jessie Baker decided it was time to find a new home for the '38 Maple Leaf that they acquired in the dry north Okanagan town of Salmon Arm, B.C. 20 years ago.As founding members & officers of the Maple Leaf Chevy/GMC truck club, this was the perfect hobby vehicle for Ted and Jessie.

Neapolitan pizza as we know now originated in Naples in the late 19th century, when a local pizzaiolo served Italian Queen Margherita, a pie in the colors of Italy's flag: green basil, red tomato, white mozzarella. Since then, pizza has undergone an infinite number of makeovers. We prepare Neapolitan pizza the old fashioned way, as it would have been done centuries ago.

Here we are with Chef Rocco Agostino of Pizzaria Libretto. We were fortunate by the grace of Norman Hardie to have a training session with this brilliant man. Congratulations to Rocco for winning the Pizza 2013 chef of the year award! Here is David Mattacioni master dough maker of Terroni's Toronto, eating the very first Napolitan style pizza Richard and Isabelle ever made which he taught us how to do.

We sincerely appreciated your services on our wedding night. The pizza was AMAZINGLY good and we're so appreciative that you were able to come and find a way to set up despite the weather and the location. We had so many guests tell us how good the pizza was and how neat of a service you offered with your wood-burning fire-truck.
