Our Wood-fired Oven

We’ve returned to a timeless tradition of enjoying food with family, family, and your guests.

We built our first wood-fired mobile oven in 2008 using modern, lightweight, and heat retaining materials developed by Wildwood Ovens in Southern California.  In building that first oven we also installed a special Heat Stopper Board under the hearth made of innovative materials with insulating properties similar to the heat reflective panels used on space shuttles.  In consultation with Mork Co., in Berkeley, CA, we fabricated a custom metal stand, with a stunning “Copper Top,” so we could safely transport our mobile oven throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, giving us the unique capability to cook with a wood-fired oven in locations few people dreamed possible.

Using old world and time-tested oven design dimensions, we are able to quickly heat up the oven and efficiently cook our artisan food offerings within temperature ranges of 800° to 1,000° while substantially reducing the heat dissipation from the oven hearth, leaving a low carbon footprint.  While building our first oven we simultaneously experimented and perfected our pizza dough, dialing in the precise amounts of water, yeast, flour, and salt to produce our signature pizza thin crust.

In June 2009, we attended our first farmers market at Jack London Square in Oakland and expanded that same summer into attending other farmers markets in San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties.  During the winter months of 2015, after six years on the road, our first oven went into retirement in a friend’s outdoor kitchen.  That same year, we expanded our artisan wood-fired mobile oven business and transitioned into operating two Tuscany handcrafted commercial Refrattari Valoriani ovens that were imported from Italy by Mugnaini Imports, Inc., in Healdsburg, CA.

The ovens were then mounted on double axle trailers built to support the rigors of being on the road to destinations as functional pieces of art in which we continue to enjoy baking up to five fresh and flavorful signature pizzas at a time with each“pie” taking just two minutes to cook!
