Wednesday, December 20, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 23 Food cart offers artisan pizza By Jim Cornelius Editor “Pizza, for me, is the bal- ance of my favorite things,” says Danny St. Lawrence. Those things include organic vegetables, fine meats, artisan cheeses — and really, really good crust. It starts with the bread, in fact. “ I ’ m a b a k e r, ” S t . Lawrence told The Nugget. “That’s how I cut my teeth in the restaurant industry.” All along, though, there was a dream to provide locally, ethically sourced wood-fired artisan pizza in a mobile shop. And now that dream is realized with the Boone Dog Pizza food cart. Danny’s wife, Kelly, noted that the food cart was out and about in Central Oregon through summer and fall, setting up shop at events. “We needed a place to land through the winter,” she said. “We want to serve the community.” It’s the community where Kelly grew up, and she knows it’s hard to make it in business through the winter — but the couple is confident that there’s a market. With quick turnaround, a customer can order a pizza to go and head back to the office or off home where it’s warm and enjoy a high-quality, satisfy- ing meal at a fair price. The pizzas on offer run in price from $8 to $12, and they’ll be rotating them according to the availability of fresh ingredients. They also offer roasted veggie dishes. “We embrace seasonality and all that comes with that,” Danny noted. Creating exceptional pizza is an art form and a life-way for the St. Lawrences. “We feel like we are part of a food movement,” Danny said. “We want to support the local economy; we‘re trying to support businesses that share our values.” We feel like we are part of a food movement. We want to support the local economy; we‘re trying to support businesses that share our values. — Danny St. Lawrence Baking in a wood-fired brick oven in a mobile unit is inspiring to Danny, keeping him in touch with earth, fire and air. “ I t ’s a n e l e m e n t a l WE’VE GOT LAST-MINUTE GIFTS WOOD-FIRED FRESH HOT PIES Boone Dog Pizza Cart Opening December 15 Stihl Chainsaws & Accessories Eurosports Food Cart Garden Open Friday thru Monday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Workwear & Romeos Take-out available, 303-746-3609 Come Meet Baby Alpacas process,” he says.
