Peach pizza, not to be confused with the turn-of-the-century, pineapple pizza, has become a regional special since its debut in 2010. Made famous by S&J’s WoodFired Pizza, this peachy concoction brings Atlanta’s freshest summer elements to a vibrant finish. While we have to agree with your first notion that peach pizza is not in traditional Neapolitan style, the Italians never had Georgia’s peaches to boast. The sweet acidity of our Pearson Farm Peaches, salty smoke of Pine Street Market’s bacon lardons, and subtle heat that The Blue Ridge Olive Oil Company provides make this pizza a local wood fired sensation.
From the Blue Ridge Georgia Mountains, hails a delightful, cayenne-infused finishing oil cultivated to its peak. The owners of The Blue Ridge Olive Oil Company, Donna and Tom, have been operating outside of Blue Ridge, Georgia for eight years. Their signature exclusive, cayenne infused chili oil packs twelve pounds of ripe cayenne chilies for each gallon of pure organic extra virgin local olive oil. Alongside Pine Street Market’s, humanely raised, thoughtfully sourced applewood smoked bacon, this marriage of flavors lays the perfect canvas for our fresh Georgia peaches.
Every year the atmosphere grows tense as Georgia’s peach season approaches. As a symbol of Georgia, this beautiful stone fruit has come to represent the wealth of flavor in our agricultural community. Pearson Farm has farmed the red clay of Crawford County for five generations. Building off of theexperience of each generation, the Pearson family has gained a reputation for growing some of the sweetest peaches in the country. We savor these summer treasures and pay homage to the peach for its short but sweet season the only way we know how- on pizza!
