Pizza & Wine - A Match Made in Heaven!

When you come to the 8th Annual Poverty Bay Wine Festival, make sure you come with an empty stomach!  Not only do we have 25 wineries and two breweries at the festival, we also have eight food merchants who are offering delectable Northwest cuisine and desserts. 

The Roving Pizzaioli
New to the festival this year, but certainly not new to pizza fans at the Des Moines Farmers Market, is Roving Pizzaioli. Roving Pizzaioli is a mobile wood fired pizza company based out of  Normandy Park. It's easy to spot the Roving Pizzaioli because of their very distinctive copper wood fire oven, which is set on wheels.  Co-owners, Marshall Hansen and Walter Smith, along with their team create all kinds of pies, but their specialty is NY style pizza by the slice.  At the festival, they will be on hand all three days making warm yummy cheesy goodness, which (we might add) pairs quite nicely with a glass of wine.

Another new offering at the festival is the Poverty Bay Bistro, which will be operated by Rotarian Vince Koester, owner of Koester Landscape Management.  Those who know Vince, know that his true passion is cooking.  Vince can make a mean burger and is always on the lookout for the perfect burger!  Some of the menu choices at the Poverty Bay Bistro will be grilled chicken cesar salad, poached wild salmon, beef stroganoff, and (of course!) a mean cheeseburger.  Proceeds from the restaurant will go to fund the charitable projects of the Rotary Club of Des Moines.
