Red Tractor Pizza by Trent Brundin

Red Tractor, a local pizza place located on 10th and Main, has a cool and low key environment.  The staff are friendly and ready to help. On the right side of the restaurant is a make your own Italian soda bar.  In the back, they have a huge oven.  The tables are mostly on the left side, but there are some booths in the middle.  The paint is a dark red, like cherries.  

The reason my family chose Red Tractor is because we had eaten the food but we had never been inside and we wanted good pizza.  Plus my family likes to eat locally grown, healthy organic food so Red Tractor was the perfect fit.  We hopped into the car, drove ten minutes and arrived at Red Tractor famished.

The menu is a list of fifteen different pizzas and four different appetizers, or you can make your own design.  We ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza, Verdante pizza, cheese pizza, a salad and a side of garlic bread.  As we waited, we played some of the games on the tables around us.  Miles, my little brother, and I played Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots.  

During the wait we got some Italian sodas; mine had two pumps of vanilla and four pumps of orange.  It tasted like a tropical drink.  Then the garlic bread came.  The bread tasted like strong cheese with a hint of garlic.  After we ate that, we had seconds on our Italian sodas and this time I chose: four pumps of cherry and two pumps of vanilla.  It tasted like a cherry sundae or cherry ice cream.  

Ten or twenty minutes after we ordered we got our food.  The cheese pizza had a thick layer of cheese on it so that when we cut the pizza oozed out cheese.  The BBQ pizza had: Bar3 House BBQ sauce, chicken, bacon, roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, carmelized onions, scallions, and garlic oil.  You could really taste the different flavors on the pizza.  The last pizza, the Verdante had: organic red sauce, mozzarella, gorgonzola, fresh parmesan, and local organic chevre.  I did not get to try this because: it was for my mother who is a vegetarian and I was very full from eating the other pizzas.  She said it tasted very good.

After dinner we played Battleship and got a private tour of the back.  The oven was huge like the size of a hut with a fire underneath and had a big stone in it that was the size of a small car.  The kitchen was fairly big like the size of a few normal home kitchen.  Eating at Red Tractor was a very good experience and an adventure for my taste buds.  I would definitely suggest the Red Tractor to a pizza lover and a person that likes to eat organic.
