The Vintage Pizza Pie Company
Locally made in Northumberland County by Richard and Isabella.
We prepare Neapolitan pizza the old fashioned way, as it would have been done centuries ago. The dough is composed of four ingredients: water, flour, salt, and yeast…Pizzas cook in our wood-fired oven for 60-120 seconds, yielding a final product that is soft and supple, not dried out and crunchy as is often the case with other styles of pizza. Blistered but pliable, chewy yet delicate, a perfectly cooked Neapolitan pizza. – The Vintage Pizza Pie Co.
Cooks from frozen in just 5 to 8 minutes.
At Herma’s find…
White Dragon (Bell Peppers, Wood-Fired Mushrooms, Spring Onion, Sharp Cheddar , Mozzarella & Basil Pine Nut Pesto all on an Alfredo Base) – Mushroom Parmesan (Wood Fired Mushrooms, Parmesan, Mozarella all on a Creamy Base) – Prosciutto Honey Truffle (Prosciutto, Parmesan, Romano, Ricotta, Mozzarella Honey and Truffle Oil all on a Creamy Base) – The Carnivore (San Marzano Milled Tomatoes, Hungarian Salami, Prosciutto, Bacon, Bocconcini Mozzarella) – Classic Margherita (San Marzano Milled Tomatoes, Basil & Buffalo Mozzarella)
Herma’s Cheese Shop
Chateau de Bourgogne is back!
We love this very rich, creamy, buttery triple crème from Burgundy – a decadent cheese to spread on a baguette or cracker. Pair with Champagne or Prosecco.
As this cheese sells quickly, feel free to call to check for availability.
Featured Cheese
Raclette de Savoie
Raclette de Savoie is an ancient mountain cheese common in the Savoie region in France and the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It derives its name from racler, meaning to scrape, which describes the way the local people cut this cheese.
It has a pleasant flavor but it gets particularly tasty when heated in front of a fire or under a hot grill (like with a Raclette machine). Only then does the full aroma of this amazing cheese intensify.
The French traditionally enjoy this cheese poured over foods like small potatoes, prosciutto, pickled vegetables, cooked sausages, cauliflower, broccoli, thinly sliced zucchini, sliced mushrooms, sliced pears, apples and a toasty slice of baguette.
If you are wanting to host a Raclette party and need a Raclette machine, keep in mind that we have a variety from which to choose.
