Fresh, Local and Organic

We are founding members of Slow Food Alameda, our local group working to advance the Slow Food mission.

What is Slow Food?  Slow food is the opposite of fast food!  Slow food means delicious food, carefully prepared, using local and sustainable ingredients as much as possible.

The Slow Food movement incorporates a series of objectives within its mission, including:

  • preserving and promoting local and traditional food products, along with their lore and preparation
  • organizing celebrations of local cuisine within regions
  • educating citizens about the drawbacks of commercial agribusiness and factory farms
  • helping to preserve family farms
  • lobbying for the inclusion of organic farming concerns within agricultural policy
  • lobbying against the use of pesticides
  • encouraging ethical buying in local marketplaces

A t Croll’s Pizza, our involvement in the Slow Food movement guides our choices in ingredients, food preparation methods, and our connection to our local farming community.

Many of our vegetables come from local farmers who sell at the Alameda Farmer’s market on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons.  We encourage you to visit them, and if you see us there, please say hello!
