"Spike" is THE GUY who knows anything and everything about  Bryce Canyon National Park.  You'll find him running FREE bus tours for Bryce Canyon National Park. The tours are free, 4 hours long, you make a reservation in advance at the Visitor Center and you'll love every minute of it. Here's what you'll get...

An entertaining and folksy voice, his chuckles are heartwarming
Jokes - some not as good as others, some are downright corny, all will bring a smile to your face
Step ladder for comfort while stepping on/off the bus
National Park history
Bryce Canyon history
Ruby's Inn history
His own history - discovered the area as a delivery driver for Pepsi
Wildlife
Plant life
Vistas & viewpoints
Geology
and, last but not least, pictures of his family

We knew the Bryce Canyon season was winding down when Spike stopped by for one, last pizza before he visited his mother in the Mid West. I asked if he was flying to see her? Nah, Spike was driving out to see her, that's what off-season bus drivers do.  Happy trails, Spike, until we meet again.

The intense and delightful aromas of basil & mint infused our pizza kitchen every Friday afternoon at Bryce Canyon.

I "commuted" up the mountain to Bryce every Friday afternoon (best commute, ever).  Along the way, I stopped at Red Acre Farm CSA in Cedar City to pick up our freshest ingredients, basil & mint.   As I drove down the Red Acre Farm driveway, Sara would often be picking these herbs, just for RoadRunner Pizza.

Now that's fresh!  

The basil dressed our ever-popular margherita pizzas,
the mint infused our drinking water.  

Time and again our guests would comment on the wonderful flavors and I would share the story of freshly picked herbs from Red Acre Farm.

Red Acre Farm, www.redacrefarmcsa.org, is an amazing story in itself.  Sara, the founder/farmer/entrepreneur, started this enterprise as a 15-year-old. Yes, you read that right. Red Acre Farm is now a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and they grow over 177 varieties of fruits, vegetables and herbs.  Sara and Symbria, her mother, select specific varieties for their exceptional qualities of aroma, flavor, color and texture.

Wonderful food. Amazing people.
When I close my eyes, I can still smell the basil & mint.

Yes, really. RoadRunner Pizza is starting a blog! 
Posts will be unpredictable in timing AND entertaining.
Inspiration to get started on a blog comes from our amazing adventures in Bryce Canyon this past summer.
We...
met fascinating people,
created a pop-up store in 2 weeks,
fell asleep exhausted each night in a little "Scamp" camper,
created great food,
heard amazing stories,
and
had oh. so. much. FUN.
