The Wood Burning Oven

It is impossible to obtain a good pizza without the aid of a wood burning oven.
The real recipe for Neapolitan pizza stipulates a wood burning oven and this is further certified by the Traditional Specialty Guarantee Trademark, European recognition of the highest quality. The base of the oven must be of fireproof stone and be equipped with a hood, and the oven must be capable of reaching temperatures of 450-485°C.

Products cooked in a wood burning oven take on particular characteristics, different than those acquired in industrial ovens. At the end of the cooking cycle, the outer edge of the pizza is slightly irregular and puffy, with typical bubbles and slightly burnt. It is golden in color with the characteristic aroma of bread. The center of the pizza is soft.

The antique flavor, color and aroma of traditional pizza is present.
