Review: Santa Cruz Valley Sun

Nonna Vivi is off to a wonderful start thanks to all the support from our community. Gaston's pizzas are all the rage and you must come try some of our new dishes, as our menu is ever evolving.

The Santa Cruz Valley Sun recently wrote a great review on Nonna Vivi and Gasty, the "Pizza Pro".

Pizza Pro Living His Dream

By Mike Touzeau, Special to the Santa Cruz Valley Sun
Published Wednesday, May 6, 2009 1:19 AM CDT

He still feels the pain of a youngster’s first failure in the business, but that experience is what drives him to this day to be the best he can be for his customers.

After 26 years in the produce industry in this valley where his family has prospered for 130 years, Gaston Bachelier is finally living a dream of owning his own little corner of restaurant magic, opening Nonna Vivi in Rio Rico in March.

That day at the Rio Rico Resort (now Esplendor) stuck with him all these years, a busboy getting a chance at age 15 to fill in for the chef.

A customer literally threw his steak down in front the boy in anger, and it broke his spirit and his heart.

He studied finance at U of A followed by that long career in the produce business, always dreaming of another chance to build and present something he could find satisfaction in watching loyal patrons enjoy.

“My dream was always to have a little place,” he said, though he thought it would be some kind of burger joint.

Realizing that wasn’t what the area needed, and after a lot of research, study, and consultation with specialty pizza experts all over California and Arizona, he went home one day and built his own brick oven.

Mortgaging their home, he and his wife Claudia, who had already set aside a childhood dream to become a dancer herself in order to support her husband, opened a wood fire pizza business in Nogales.

Nonna Vivi Pizzas

[ Pizza a la Napoletana - Margherita topped with Fresh Mozzarella and Basil ]

At Nonna Vivi Pizzeria we offer two different types of pizzas, both equally as delicious. To start our pizzas are made with the freshest ingredients. We make our own pizza dough, pizza sauce and pesto daily. Our pizzas are topped with a variety of fresh topping combinations and cooked to perfection in our wood oven.

GASTY'S PIZZA

Gasty's Pizzas are a thinner crust, similar to a Tuscan style. These pizzas measure between 12"-15". Gasty's Pizzas have more ingredients than Napoletana. The sauce is also is made with more robust ingredients. Gasty's is prepared with roasted garlic and roasted tomatoes made in the oven and finished with fresh basil. Gasty's Pizza also offers homemade pesto as an alternative to the usual red sauce. The pesto is also made daily with roasted pinon nuts and roasted garlic.

PIZZA A LA NAPOLETANA

Pizza a la Napoletana are authentically prepared in the Italian tradition. These pizzas measure about 9" inches in diameter. The crust is a bit thicker. The ingredients are simple lending to create a fresh, crisp flavor. The sauce is traditional made as a very basic italian sauce, diced or whole tomatoes and a little of salt. Topped with your choice of toppings from our selection. Try the Pizza Margherita made with fresh Mozzarella cheese.
