When it comes to eating healthy, some people may view it as a chore or sacrifice. But what if we told you that eating healthy can be just as cool as indulging in your favorite guilty pleasure? Eating nutritious foods can be just as delicious, fun, and satisfying as eating less healthy options. Our friends at Alta Via Pizzeria have absolutely mastered this art. Pizza is literally in their name but we thought we’d think outside the (pizza) box and show you some of the delicious non-pizza options they offer! At Alta Via Pizzeria, you can indulge in a range of delicious and healthy dishes that won't leave you feeling guilty. We're also so excited to announce that AVP is open 7 days a week for dine in and carry out. Check out some of our suggestions below.

FRESH GRILLED ARTICHOKES

Served with a lemon aioli, citrus-olive salsa, oregano

If it’s your first time dining at AVP, we always recommend you start with these incredible grilled artichokes. Artichokes are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways, but when paired with zesty lemon aioli, citrus-olive salsa, and a dash of oregano, they become truly unbelievable. The lemon aioli adds a creamy and tangy element to it, while the citrus-olive salsa brings a bright and refreshing flavor to balance the earthiness of the artichokes. The oregano adds a savory depth that ties all the flavors together. With each bite, you'll savor the combination of the tender artichokes with the vibrant and tangy dressing, making for a flavorful and satisfying culinary experience. Plus, the tangy and savory flavors of the lemon aioli and citrus-olive salsa will pair perfectly with a crisp glass of white wine.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Served with black currants, Honeycrisp apple, Pecorino Romano, pine nuts, lemon vinaigrette

Brussels sprouts have become so trendy in recent years as a flavorful and nutritious side dish. When a bed of Brussels sprouts is combined with black currants, Honeycrisp apples, Pecorino Romano, pine nuts, and a tangy lemon vinaigrette, they transform into the freshest and most satisfying dish on the AVP menu. The black currants add a tart and sweet flavor to the salad, while the Honeycrisp apple provides a juicy crunch that is much needed. The Pecorino Romano cheese brings a savory saltiness that balances out the dish's sweetness, and the pine nuts offer a pleasant nuttiness and crunch. The lemon vinaigrette ties all the flavors together, bringing a bright and tangy flavor making it the perfect dish for a hot summer day that perfectly complements the Brussels sprouts. Each bite is a deliciously balanced combination of textures and flavors that will make you savor every last bite. Craving a bit of protein? Opt to add in salmon or grilled chicken to satisfy the carnivore in you! To pair with the fresh and vibrant flavors of this dish, we recommend a light and refreshing cocktail like a gin and tonic.
