Von’s is doing something different than most as they structure their pizzas with a homemade sourdough crust. They use Gustos of San Francisco grains exclusively in the 48-hour sourdough crust. All pizzas are fired with Native Washington Applewood and topped with fresh ingredients such as red wine goat cheese, baby arugula, soppressata, Roquefort, and meatballs. A must try is the Quatre Viande (4 meat) with bolognese, aged asiago, lardons, and Torrid Wurst. Especially for those visiting the Pacific Northwest, we recommend the Wild Salmon Sourdough Pizza with cream sauce, red onion, and aged asiago.

These New York style slices are topped with fresh local ingredients.
