Farm Fresh Pizza Toppings for Our Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten Free Friends (Part 1)

Posted on:

At Pop Up Pizza, we take pride in cooking our farm fresh veggies daily. The following technique will give your pizza a burst of flavor without breaking the bank, allowing you to spend less time in the kitchen and more time at the dinner table. Here is a simple recipe for utilizing a variety of healthy, quality ingredients so that you can switch things up and keep your food options fun and fresh, even if you’re a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free eater!

First, find a good quality extra virgin olive oil. Secondly, you will need either a fine sea salt, or any fine salt that is all natural or of a high caliber.  Once you have obtained these two things, you can lightly coat your veggies in the olive oil and season them to desired saltiness!

Lastly, once your veggies are coated in your extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, put them on a baking sheet and place them in a pre-heated oven at 500 degrees. We like to let our veggies roast until we get a little carmelization or color. At Pop Up, this technique further enhances the flavors of our toppings.

Once you get a nice color on your veggies, take them out and let them cool at room temp for 30-45 minutes before using them as pizza toppings.

We hope you enjoy these simple cooking techniques and use them at home not just for pizza, but for pastas, salads, and anything creative that you come up with!

The Comeback of Downtown Las Vegas

Posted on:

When the new strip was developed, Fremont slowly lost the energy and excitement it once had. If you’re up to date on the latest trends, then you’re sure to know Fremont plans to regain its vigor. So how exactly is downtown Las Vegas going to manage doing this? Here are a few exciting new additions.

The largest gay nightclub in the world is set to open June 15th. Krave will be an 80,000-square-foot venue. The club will feature five themed dance rooms, a gay comedy club, a performing arts theater, and much more.

The world’s largest slot machine is also set to open in June. This will consist of the world’s largest LED screen and will be a launching pad for the zip line. Riders will soar at speeds of up to 35 mph as they hover 112 feet over the ground.

Downtown is about to get real trendy with the installation of Inspire Theater — a community theater and espresso bar — set to open late summer. The theater will be an open forum for inspirational speakers.

The Tastiest Downtown Experience You Can Have

Drawing thousands of visitors daily, Fremont Street boasts some of the most sensational entertainment for adults and kids alike. Along with the old-style Vegas casinos, there are also legions of colorful strolling entertainers. From iconic Vegas showgirls to Elvis impersonators, there is something new and interesting to see around every corner.

Another amazing feature Fremont brings to the downtown adventure is a 90-foot-high LED screen canopy that surrounds four blocks of Fremont Street with seven shows a night, flashing collages of larger-than-life images to the classical sounds of rock.

If that is not enough to stimulate your senses, the more adventurous visitor can even go zip-lining high above the action to get a bird’s eye view of Fremont Street while flying over it.
