The Flying Goat was created in 2010 to become a neighborhood craft beer bar and casual eatery, where the craft beer list is as carefully chosen as the menu items themselves. As we studied the time-honored history of classic pizza making, we were inspired by the legacy, flavors, and aromas of the Neapolitan Style. Our goal was to honor the craft of artisan pizza making, while creatively infusing local flavors and ingredients.
Our goal when designing and building this neighborhood pizza pub was to utilize sustainable and repurposed materials to the best of our abilities. During our search, we discovered the remarkable opportunity to repurpose the Otis Leonard’s Ritzville grain elevator, originally constructed in 1910. You can see a photo of this wood grain elevator hanging on the wall in the bar. Meticulously disassembled, the elevator’s wood is now being used throughout the inside and outside of The Goat.
Our fire-kissed crust honors the history of artisan pizza making. The char is a must! This char adds great flavor, a unique texture, and carries hidden aromas. It is considered one of the most important flavor elements of Neapolitan Style pizza. Our dough is freshly made, in-house, every morning to ensure the best quality and consistency. Every pizza that is ordered is first hand stretched and then topped with homemade sauces, a variety of cheese options, fresh local ingredients, and artisan meats… some even cured in-house! Our sauces, dressings, and marinades are all made daily. Our pies are baked in a 2500-pound Woodstone oven, made in Bellingham, Washington.
