Happy Anniversary Okanagan Pizza!

Well we have officially hit our One year anniversary on Saturday Feb 16/2013.  It has been quite the year since we took over Okanagan Pizza (formally OKPIZZA).  It has been a lot of work changing the pizza into something we can really call ours!  We have been very busy trying to make the absolute best crust we can produce.  With all of the struggles with our previous ways of cooking our pizza on a screen, we decided to change to a pan pizza in Sept.  Our customers have given us incredible feedback on the changes.  The change took us from having a very crispy crust that tended to get tough when it started to cool, to a crust that is nicely thick and very soft and chewy! 

Although the crust is one of the most important qualities in producing a great pizza, almost as important is a great sauce!  We have had a lot of fun testing sauce recipes. A good sauce should have tons of flavor and still taste fresh.  We have consumed many, MANY pizzas trying to perfect our sauce and I think we are getting there! ;)

Being a VERY BIG cheese lover, I feel obligated to say you can't have a good pizza without a great cheese.  We found qualities in our old cheese that didn't enjoy, so We contacted a new distributor and had a Cheese Taste off.  Testing multiple pizza mozzarella's against the old variety and found one we are very happy with. We have been and will be testing many different cheese combinations this year to see if we can find a truly unique taste combination.  I think I might like that part! 

We want to thank everyone for all of your support in the last year!  We really appreciate all of your business and we will try to keep our end up by making you the best pizza kelowna has to offer!

We offer pizza delivery in kelowna to most areas, including UBCO, Quail Ridge, Country Rhodes, Ellison, Rutland, Glenmore, and downtown. Located at 104-3699 Commercial Drive (1 block south of Reids Corner)

Everybody loves Pepperoni Pizza

 Well it looks as though winter is finally amongst us.  Roads are slippery, its thinking of getting cold outside, Christmas has passed and we are into a new year! HAPPY NEW YEARS!! (a little late I know...lol)  We have been searching lately for ideas for our new menu, and doing so has brought me to many wonder picture sights, and looked at countless pictures of delicious looking pizza!  I t has really made me feel the need to post a few of our pizza's.  The ones that don't get as much thrill and excitement but are almost always the first to get ordered every time.  The picture above is our Double Pepperoni, a basic pizza with loads of fresh pepperoni covered with our finest cheese.  "That doesn't look like a regular pepperoni pizza" you may say as the Pepperoni should be on the top of the cheese.  I have tried multiple different pepperoni types.  The dry cured pepperoni that most of you are familiar with, are the little circles "the classic pepperoni pizza"!  We tried these out, as for flavour it is really hard to beat, very strong delicious flavour. We found this pepperoni to be far to greasy , so we have gone with the big rounds that when under the cheese bring out far more of their natural flavor.

So what, exactly, is pepperoni? Pepperoni got its name from the Italian word "peperoni" meaning large peppers as in bell peppers. The first reference to pepperoni in print is from 1919, Which was the period when pizzerias and Italian butcher shops began to flourish in the united states. They started producing a spicy italian-american variety of dry salami made of pork and beef. Pepperoni is a descendant of the spicy salamis of southern Italy. It is an air-dried spicy sausage with a few distinctive characteristics: it is fine-grained, lightly smoky, bright red and relatively soft. But one thing it is not: Italian. 

Since pepperoni was introduced it has quickly become the most popular pizza topping in north America. Americans consume an average of 251,000,000 pounds every year! That means that 36% of the pizzas that are sold every year have the pepperoni on them!

Pepperoni is one of those wonderful meats that go with almost any topping.  Shown above is one of our MENU items. This is a Pepperoni, Mushroom, and Green Pepper Pizza.  Which is a very popular choice for Kelowna Pizza eaters!  One of our most popular pepperoni pizzas would be the Canadian Pizza. It is simply pepperoni, topped with mushrooms, mozzarella, and real bacon! It is a real favorite around here!
