It was during a road trip to get an oven when a song came on the radio, and an idea suddenly hit Dax Guest Ross – no, not in the eye, but That’s Amore made him think of the perfect slice of pie.
Pizzamoreh is a place where local ingredients, a wood-fired oven and the mom and son team of Dax Guest Ross and Patricia Guest make their culinary magic.
“It all happened really fast – we were operating about a month after we got home from that trip,” says Dax. And while making a living in the restaurant world wasn’t always his dream (“there was a time when I said I never wanted to set foot in a kitchen,” he laughs), he comes from a culinary family. Patricia has been a chef for almost 40 years, and the longtime Peachlanders owned the restaurant L’Oven at Pizzamoreh’s current location – 2565 Main St. In West Kelowna. Dax has taken over the new place, and despite being open only since February 2019, Pizzamoreh has become a popular spot.
He says it’s all in the crust – a blend of whole wheat and white flour makes for a unique texture and taste, and when you add the freshest ingredients with some imagination – well, you fall in love.
“So many people love pizza and that’s one thing we like to do is stick with really good pizza using local ingredients,” Dax says.
“It’s hard to make a bad pizza, but it’s also super hard to make a really excellent one.”
