FALL MENU LAUNCH 2018
Staying in tune with the seasons, we’re changing up the menu to bring you some exciting new flavours and ingredients, plus NEW SMALL PLATES!
Our culinary team is constantly inspired by local and seasonal ingredients. As it cools down and we find ourselves craving warm and comforting meals, we’re excited to share some new menu additions!
We’re saying goodbye to the Quinoa Greek Salad, Curried Potato Salad, Southern Belle, Peking Express, Meatball + Chevre, and Pesto CBR (for now), and are introducing some new fall-inspired menu items. We’ve got two new salads, a new pizza, we’re bringing back an OG pizza, AND we’re introducing a whole new category: Small Plates.
“Our primary offering has and always will be pizza, but like many restaurants we saw an opportunity to expand our menu in ways we felt guests would really enjoy and introduce new and exciting dishes that complement our great lineup of pizzas,” says Jim Vesal, Director of Culinary. “We knew we wanted these items to be a little bit more Italian-inspired than the rest of our menu as we really wanted to show you can do amazing plant-based versions of the classics. We started by looking at some of our favourite dishes and veganized them.“
Allow us to introduce ourselves…

“The plan with the program is to really incorporate seasonality and be a bit more creative as we have a much bigger palette to work with when we aren’t limited to a pizza crust,” says Jim. “We definitely wanted to showcase some of our non-dairy cheeses a bit more so expect to see some great dishes using them as a primary component. Finally, we wanted to offer some items at a more approachable price point that could be shared between friends and this menu really tried to do that.”
