We’re expanding our creative (and not so creative) menu a bit with a few new pizzas as well as “cross utilizing” to create a new appetizer and salad.
- New Pizzas APHRODITE and the PCH are on the menu now, plus the full-time addition of BROOKLY HEAT (our January Pizza of the Month that was a fan-fave).
- On the heels Aphrodite (she probably wore sandals, like Achilles, who got shot in the heel, his one weak spot), it was easy to also launch our new Greek Salad, cleverly named GREEK SALAD (we thought of Greekside, Artemis, or Art3mis, but simplicity won.
- The PCH is named for our favorite California coastal highway, P: Pepperoni, C: Cajun-spiced Chicken, H: Hot Honey, plus some green onions for a little color and pop. Starship guitarist Craig Chaquico did an album called Acoustic Highway inspired by the same coast route. Good instrumental stuff there from our old friend Craig; easy listening.
- Brooklyn Heat is a NY-inspired creation from Creekside’s Jackson Palmer. It’s been a huge hit here at Creekside. Jackson wanted to call it “New York, New York” and you’d have to sing that when you ordered. I went “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” …with the same idea, but nobody needs to belt out that Beastie’s classic either.
- The Trifecta is a simple one-person appetizer combo of our three most popular apps. One meatball, two parm puffs, and three wings. It’s also been well received and now the second most popular app, right behind our Garlic Parmesan Puffs.
- Cloning: We’ve made a change to the Victory Garden, adding more veggies to this GF/Vegan pizza. Some peeps still like the old version, so in April, we’ll have both the New and Old versions available
- Speaking of April, we will be looking to add Meatball Sliders, Veggies Sliders, and the overly long awaited Chicago thin crust Tavern-style pizzas. 5 totally new pizzas on cracker thin Creekside crust. We have also been wanting to do a focaccia square pan proofed pizza for a while, so we’re playing with that. We will never do Chicago deep dish or Detroit here; we just don’t have the space or bandwidth for those styles. Hit Tony’s Pizza Napoletana for hands-down the best Detroit, Neapolitan, and…well, the best everything, and for Chicago… go to Capo’s SF, another one of Tony’s restaurants and one of my all time faves, just down the street from Tony’s and Slice House. Reservations are a must at these places.
