Pizza Talk: Sarah Minnick and Lovely’s 50-50 in Portland

Sarah Minnick has emerged as one of the important new voices in the artisan pizza movement. She brings a chef’s sensitivities, an artist’s insight (she originally went to Rhode Island School of Design), and a down to earth perspective to everything she makes at her destination restaurant, Lovely’s 50-50, where she has grown a passionate following. In this interview you’ll learn more about her and her vision for pizza and for herself, what exactly Lovely’s 50-50 means, her philosophy of ice cream (a big part of the Lovely’s menu), as well as see her create for us a garden fresh summer squash pizza with four local cheeses, edible flowers, and orange infused olive oil, on a country wheat crust, baked in a tabletop Breville Pizzaiolo Oven.
