Today's adventures took me away from Campbellford for the most part, but still in the area.
Theo's Pizzeria (20 Forsyth Street, Marmora)
We poked around Marmora a bit this morning as we consider communities in the area for a move. Along the way we popped into Theo's Pizzeria. When I am away from Texas and in the north in general, I get pizza when I can.
Why?
There is not much good pizza in Texas. Tex Mex? Yes. Smoked brisket? Absolutely! Pizza? Not so much.
Theo's has got it going on.
My daughter is a perennial pepperoni fan, as most kids are. So we ordered a medium pie, half pepperoni and half barbecue chicken (the favorite of the woman who took my order). Both my daughter and the employee know what's good. Fantastic crusts, nice blend of spice, and perfectly done. Nice work.
My wife went for the healthy option and got a salad, that she raved over. I sampled the olives (she doesn't eat them).
We will be back. Hopefully.
Wildflower Bakery & Cafe (4 Oak Street, Havelock)
Well, this is a bummer. Not because it was a bad experience--it was wonderful.
I stopped in this morning shortly after it opened and had a wonderful blueberry danish and a mocha. The pastry was flaky on the edges and moist inside--perfect. And it all went down smoothly with the mocha.
It's a bummer because a quick look at their Facebook profile reveals that the owners are looking to sell the business.
I've been there and done that and know how painful that can be. Especially when you've poured your soul into it and into the community. Judging from the comment section, they've done exactly that.
I hope they can meet their own goal of transitioning the business to new owners. It would be a shame to lose this.
