May 30! Pizza on the farm!

Cress Spring Pizzeria will be serving them up on Wednesday, May 30, from 4:30 pm until 8:30 pm.

Our musical guest this week is Katie Scullin, a singer/songwriter equally at home in backwood bars, martini lounges, and music festivals. Channeling the likes of Amy Winehouse, Ann Wilson, ZZ Ward, and Lourde, Katie has a powerful, classic voice and an impressive arsenal of original songs.

New for this year, we are no longer allowing dogs on pizza night. For the comfort and safety of all our customers, please leave your furry friends at home.

Caravan Gypsy Swing

Here’s how it works. Every Wednesday evening from May until October, we'll be selling flaming hot pizzas and delicious desserts, beer and wine, here at Cress Spring Farm. Picnic on our lawn or take your pizza to enjoy at home. Outdoor seating only - you are welcome to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and warm friends to snuggle with. You should also bring whatever plates, cutlery, etc. that you might need for your picnic. Pizza will be served in boxes, beer and soda in bottles and wine by the bottle or glass. We will have mason jars available for wine, but we encourage you to bring your own. You may supplement your picnic with any salads or other food you wish to bring, but we ask that you not bring your own alcohol. We accept cash, checks, credit cards, and chickens as payment.

Our menu for this week is below, and it's also posted on our website. Pizza orders may be called in ahead of time, but on busy nights we stop accepting phone orders once we start serving, so please try to call before 4:30. We hope to see you soon!

Bring your kids! Kids like pizza!

Cress Spring Pizzeria will be serving them up on Wednesday, May 23, from 4:30 pm until 8:30 pm.

Our musical guest this week is Caravan Gypsy Swing, an instrumental acoustic jazz group based in Madison. They are primarily influenced by the legendary Roma Gypsy Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, but also pull influences from American jazz, European folk, traditional Latin, Parisian waltz, and other vintage-jazz sources.

New for this year, we are no longer allowing dogs on pizza night. For the comfort and safety of all our customers, please leave your furry friends at home.

Here’s how it works. Every Wednesday evening from May until October, we'll be selling flaming hot pizzas and delicious desserts, beer and wine, here at Cress Spring Farm.
