PIZZERIA RUSTICA RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Colorado Springs, CO (Seiko Marketing) — Pizzeria Rustica, located in the Heart of Historic Old Colorado City at 2527 West Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80904, received national recognition from James Beard and IACP award-winning author and artisan baking instructor Peter Reinhart in his latest book, "Artisan Breads Every Day." Reinhart identified the leaders of the artisanal pizza movement sweeping the United States. Reinhart writes "This level of quality - the memorable, benchmark kind - is a difficult concept to define, but it's easy to identify when it is encountered. And while it exists in but a small percentage of the foods we consume, it has the power - even in simple, humble peasant foods like bread and pizza - to excite us deeply when we discover it." The pizzerias singled out for recognition in Reinhart’s book are:

* Pizzeria Bianco – Phoenix
* Pizzeria Rustica – Colorado Springs
* Apizza Scholls, Ken’s Artisan Pizza, Tastebud, and Nostrana – Portland
* Pizzeria Picco and Pizzeria Delfina – San Francisco
* Pizzaiolo – Oakland
* Coalfire Pizza and Spacca Napoli – Chicago
* Roberto’s, Spunto, Co., Motorino, Franny’s, and San Marzano – New York City
