Interested participants can access the entry form on the Millie’s Old World Facebook page to select which ingredients will be included on their pies and if their entries will be wood or coal fired. Entries will be accepted until 12PM EST on October 13.

Pizza submissions will be made, tested and tasted by Chef Peter Martinez of Millie’s to determine the top four finalists.

Good luck!

26 January 2014 Sunday Brunch at Millie’s Old World Meatballs & Pizza

Sunday Brunch at Millie’s Old World Meatballs & Pizza

January 26, 2014 By
French Toast

French Toast

Last Sunday, I took some out of town friends for lunch (became dinner also) at Millie’s Old World Meatballs & Pizza. If you read my blog regularly and are connected with me on Facebook and Twitter, you know I’m a huge fan of Millie’s and what Chef Peter Martinez is doing there (read previous post here).

Breakfast Pizza

Breakfast Pizza

I’ve spent some time in the past with Millie’s co-owner, Vince Carrabba, and he’s a smart guy who clearly saw an opportunity to serve up brunch to folks with limited options in the Morristown area. The brunch menu offers breakfast-style pizzas paired with French toast made with thick-cut Italian bread. There are three brunch combination options that feed one or two guests. Millie’s is a BYOB and will pour OJ by the glass or pitcher for folks who bring their own bubbly (or not).

We sampled the wood-fired pizza with house-made Mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, home fries and eggs and the French toast. The breakfast pizza topped with scrambled eggs might appear a bit odd at first, but it makes perfect sense as the crust serves as the “toast” and the homefries under the eggs are a perfect match. The French toast are on crusty, hearty bread and served with syrup – a sweet contrast to the savory pizza.

Sausage Pizza

Sausage Pizza

While the breakfast items were delectable, we couldn’t pass up standard menu items like the fresh Mozzarella with Prosciutto, meatballs in Vodka sauce and a couple pizzas – the coal-fired Sweet Sausage Pizza and the wood-fired Fresh Basil Pie. The sausage pizza was topped with sausage, sweet peppers, tomatoes sautéed in garlic, homemade Mozzarella and basil leaves. The crust from the coal oven is crispy and beautifully-charred and the toppings work in perfect harmony. The white pizza with garlic-infused olive oil and fresh Mozzarella has basil leaves that get crispy from the 90-second visit in the wood oven – a sure winner.

The Sunday brunch is served from 11.30AM until 3PM and the a la carte menu is also available during that time. Grab some friends, family and a bottle of Prosecco and make your way to Millie’s for a fun and delicious Sunday brunch.

60 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960. 973-267-9616.

Cheers,

Famiglia Pasqua Wine Tasting

October 23, 2013 By

WinesI recently attended a wine pairing dinner at Millie’s Old World Meatballs & Pizza and had an opportunity to sample Famiglia Pasqua wines provided by recently opened Cambridge Wines of Morristown.

Here are my tasting notes:

  • Famiglia Pasqua Prosecco DOC ($10) – extra dry sparkler with lively fruity flavors.
  • 2012 Famiglia Pasqua Pinot Grigio ($10) – light, dry white with hints of floral and citrus notes.
  • 2012 Famiglia Pasqua Sangiovese ($8) – full-bodied with bright fruit from its young age.
  • 2010 Famiglia Pasqua Passimento ($13) – baby Amarone with fruit-forward, spiced nose and round, silky texture from 40% Merlot.

Cheers,

Veronique
