Pizza’zza, a local pizza restaurant known for its hand-tossed crust and wholesome, local ingredients, will celebrate the grand opening of its new and improved location in Fairhaven with live music from Momo Grace, games and beer garden on Saturday, June 10, 2017 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
For nearly 14 years, Pizza’zza operated as a carryout counter inside Yorky’s Market on 12th Street in Fairhaven. The space now boasts an expanded kitchen, complete with two Wood Stone ovens, seating for 74 and custom hardwood furniture and fixtures created by local craftsmen.
The updated location also includes a custom-built beer and wine program and craft bottle shop. The opening draft system will include 18 taps with beer, wine, cider, kombucha and soda. The bottle shop selection will feature specialty and limited release bottles and cans, as well as local and imported six packs and cases to go.
Owner Will Annett, who bought Pizza’zza in 2007, and co-owner Erica Lamson, a nutritionist, have worked for years to bring delicious, organic and locally sourced ingredients to Bellingham homes and dinner tables. The new full-size Pizza’zza restaurant allows the duo to invite the community to their dinner table.
“We are delighted to expand our Fairhaven location,” Lamson said. “Our dream was to create a casual and family-friendly space where our community can gather in a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy fresh, delicious food and many of the local beers and wines our area offers. It’s also exciting to us to increase our local buying to include local breweries and wineries, which is a great fit for our mission.”
Pizza’zza has a second location – opened in 2013 – inside the Yorky’s Market on Alabama Street, as well as a food truck, Pizza’zza Mobile, that hit the streets April 2016. Annett and Lamson recently acquired the Delicious Mischief food truck, which launched the first week in June with a Cajun menu.
