inside flatbread sugarhouseSugarhouse welcomes Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria

The revamp of Sugarhouse continues, recently welcoming Idaho’s Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria. The January 29th opening represents Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria’s fifth restaurant in total, all serving up authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizzeria certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana of Naples, Italy.

In celebration of the Sugar House opening, a number of new Neapolitan pizzas were added to the menu. Featured new additions are Creminelli fine meats, Bufala Mozzarella, new salads and more desserts. Owner Rob Lumsden said that these additions are authentic Neapolitan cuisine, “We use local Creminelli Fine Meats, whose goal is to provide Americans with traditional Italian meat specialties, some of which were not otherwise available in the U.S. and many of which are available only on a regional basis in Italy.”.

As the company grows, Flatbread emphasizes the importance of supporting the local community and sources local ingredients from the region for the food they serve. Local art is hung on display to give each location an original look and atmosphere. The wine and beer menu is flooded with local brews from crafters such as Squatters Brewery, Unita Brewing and Epic Brewing Company. A family focus is at the core of Flatbread’s mission and they offer affordable meals in an upscale casual environment. The kid’s menu has expanded to include more items and larger portions. Kids are given the option to create their own pizzas at the table.

Finally, join Naked Fish Bistro and Adami Winery on Friday, Feb 22, to enjoy a night of fine prosecco, the freshest crudo seafood, and Japanese grilling magic. Processo was meant for fresh, simple food and during the sit-down dinner progress from sashimi to nirigi to yakitori highlights (no rolls).

In Venice, it’s a pastime to wander from bar to bar, restaurant to restaurant sipping on prosecco and nibbling on fresh and cooked seafood. For Salt Lake City, the best way to translate that art locally is with Italy’s premiere prosecco producers teaming up with Naked Fish. Japanese or Italian, if the seafood is fresh and the skills shows off skilled simplicity at its best, it’s meant for Prosecco.

This unique event begins at 6pm with a reception and nibbles followed by dinner, 7-9pm. Food is $40 and prosecco pairings $25.
