Pizza Posto

Knee high by the 4th of July 🇺🇸

We have received a lot of questions from our customers about the dough this year. Is it sourdough? How long does it ferment? What’s the secret ingredient? Here are some answers.

This dough contains no secret ingredient. The simplicity of flour, water, yeast, and salt is all you need, along with high quality ingredients. We use Caputo 00 pizza flour from Italy, which is why customers report our pies to remind them of ones they had abroad.

No sourdough here, however the length of fermentation can play a trick on your palate. Our dough bulk ferments for 24 hours, then spends another 48 hours fermenting in the fridge after balling. This time allows for the yeast to work it’s magic, breathing flavor into every pizza.

Our dough has evolved every year since we first began serving in 2018. This year the dough underwent its most drastic evolution, and based on your feedback it seems to be the winner. Big shoutout to our friends at Peels On Wheels for helping us get the dough to where it is today.

Give it a taste this weekend at Spotted Duck. Serving Friday 5:00-7:30, Saturday 12:00-7:00, and closing at 5pm on July 4th.

Four years ago I started Pizza Posto with the goal of using locally sourced ingredients to make delicious pizzas. At the age of 22 I bought a food truck I couldn’t drive (Who drives a stick these days?) and set off on a journey I could not predict.

My first batch of dough was made using expired pasta flour. In the first two seasons the truck died more times than I can remember. I struggled for months to find a suitable commissary kitchen in the city of Geneva. And I knew next to nothing about how to run a small business.

What do all of those hurdles have in common? They were overcome by the overwhelming support I received from family, friends, and most of all from the local community who supported a Finger Lakes transplant pursuing a dream.

I cannot thank our early supporters enough for getting us through the tough times. Pizza Posto would not be serving pizza today without you. 🙏🏼
