Pizza & Wine Pairing Night at Ancora Pizzeria

Join us on Thursday, August 29th as we team up with our friends at Ancora for a special pizza and wine pairing night! Chef Bryn and his staff will cook up 5 delicious artisanal pizzas while we work with our friends at Lirette Selections to create heavenly pairings with 5 distinct Italian wines. Bring your appetite to this walk-about tasting event where you move from station to station trying each pizza paired with our curated wine selections.

For those who don't know how special Ancora is...their pizzas are made with flour, water, and sea salt. No commercial yeast is ever used. ​The dough takes three days to prepare from start to finish, and the crust is unique to New Orleans. Ancora offers the first truly authentic Neapolitan pizza in this city using a style that is hundreds of years old. As far as the other ingredients go, everything is either from local New Orleans producers or imported from Naples. They believe using the best possible ingredients and the freshest produce is the first step in creating a delicious product.

Their pizza oven was made in Italy by Stefano Ferrara and was imported directly from Naples. Hand-crafted with materials from Mt. Vesuvius, the oven reaches temperatures of up to 900 degrees. To keep in line with Neapolitan tradition, they bake their pizzas directly on the oven floor, using temperatures between 750-850 degrees, and cook a pizza in 45-90 seconds.  Yes, you read that correctly...

Don't miss this fun, tasty and very social walkabout event!  You can arrive anytime between 6-7 PM - and should you find some new favorite wines, we'll have them for sale as well - by the bottle, by the case, with special discounts for attendees on the night of the event only.
