Switchback Pizza Company

Specialties

Neapolitan pizza cooked at 900 degrees in our Italian wood oven for you to enjoy with family and friends. The inspiration for our pizzas comes from the bounty of our local farms allowing us to bring farm-​to-​table pizza to you at our restaurant in Emmaus.

History

Established in 2012.

Andrew and Marguerite as an expression of their passion for pizza, local food and farming founded Switchback Pizza Company in 2012. In 2011, Andrew and Marguerite spent two months in Italy working on organic farms learning how to cook wood oven pizza and make traditional cheeses and pasta.

Returning back to the U.S. in the summer of 2011, they began working on opening Switchback Pizza Company. Andrew spent a year developing his two-​day cold fermented dough and Marguerite put her own twist on the tomato sauce that was passed down to her by her father and grandmother. Switchback’s Italian wood oven cooks the pizza in 90 seconds while you watch bringing you a little bit of pizza magic.

Meet the Business Owner

Marguerite V.

Business Owner

Marguerite brings her love for all things culinary, entrepreneurial skills and 15 years of organic gardening experience to Switchback. Growing up in an Italian family, many Sundays were spent making homemade pizza with her dad and countless hours cooking with Grandmom Viola in hopes of someday recreating the magic of her Grandmother’s cooking in her own kitchen. As a teenager, she operated her own plant nursery out of her parent’s backyard, sold beeswax candles, and grew a huge organic garden in order to cook with fresh foods. Marguerite was an apprentice at the Seed Farm in Emmaus in 2012, honing her small farming skills while networking with the local farming community. Her passion for small business, sustainable agricultural and dedication to great foods fosters Switchback’s mission and growth.
