It's hard to believe it's been 4 years since we were asked to leave this amazing restaurant. It was and still is a place and memory that I really felt a sense of purpose and passion for my work. I still miss it dearly and it's still a hard pill to swallow. And it still sits empty to this day. It not only holds many fond memories for me but also for so many others that got to spend time with us there. It's a reminder how no matter how focused you are, how prepared you are, how strong your ship may be. Mother nature can take it all away in the blink of an eye. The challenges my life has had since that day have been monumental. Like the butterfly effect, a little ripple became a tidal wave of struggles, disappointments, broken dreams and relationships. This restaurant was the hard work and result of many good people and most of all my wife and daughter who still to this day are my most faithful sidekicks. I recently visited this space and could feel it's aging and pain as much as I feel it in my own body as we have spent the last few years struggling to find a way to repurpose ourselves and find belonging. Though we miss the north island dearly and it is the place we raised our child we now reside in Parksville and have built this amazing pizzeria that many of our guests have came to visit. And it's so funny when some unexpected person comes in that doesn't know about our little pizzeria all of a sudden recognizes us and says "hey arnt you the chef from cluxewe" yep it's me! So if your ever in the area please stop in and say hello. We love seeing all of you and we just happen to make possibly the best tasting pizza you might ever have. And you just never know what the future may bring.

Some new and exciting things to share 😁. We miss you all, come visit us in Parksville.

Opening soon! Thanks for checking us out! We're looking forward to making some real NY style pizza for you. We have had a delay in our opening due to Chris having an emergency knee surgery a couple of weeks ago. We hope to be open for May 12th. Stay tuned 😉

What do you do when you sell out of short ribs in a night? Make lamb of course! Last two nights of the season and lucky for you we have some tricks up our sleeve for these kind of times. This is one of our signature dishes. Many try to duplicate but they simply can not replicate! We just cleaned these up and have put on our ras el hanout dry rub thats going to make these mouth watering. We will toast these up then subject them to the low and slow process of a good long braise till they fall off the bone. In the words of my childhood idol.... Oh yeah! ~ the kool-aid man 😂

Some people say "it must be nice to only work 5-9" but behind the scenes the work starts early in the morning. 730am and were braising veal so you can have a mouth watering meal tonight!

The world outside from table 5 right now!
In our opinion it is the best time of year to enjoy a great meal with a spectacular sunset! We have three weeks left in our last month and only have a handful of reservations left. If you want to get your spot book now!
