AMBRIDGE – Black Dog Wood Fired Pizza & Catering has opened in Ambridge.

A soft-opening last week introduced pizzas like the Margherita, Rosemary & Garlic, Pepperoni, White, Marinara and Stracciatella Margherita.

Specialty pizzas included the Truffle Shuffle, The Bailey (with sausage, shiitake mushrooms and red peppers),  Meatlover’s, The Colbie (with pancetta and red onion), Spicy Salami, White Veggie and Spring Special with ricotta and a lemony arugula salad.

Salads & Appetizers were the Burrata Caprese Salad, Whipped Ricotta Dip, Caesar Salad and Garden Salad.

Located at 916 Merchant St., next door to Fermata Brewing, Black Dog Wood Fired Pizza has tables for dining-in, with takeout also available.

The walls include artful decorations including stained glass depicting scenes resembling Old Economy Village’s early days, plus paintings of black dogs and other cute pups.

Black Dog Wood Fired Pizza’s Instagram and Facebook pages will provide updates on business hours through the soft-opening phase.
