brick oven pizza

Stone-fired Italian flatbread

Pizza baked in a traditional wood-fired or coal-fired oven, typically at very high temperatures that create a characteristically charred, blistered crust.

The term signals artisanal quality and old-world authenticity, distinguishing it from pizza made in standard commercial ovens: There's a great brick oven pizza place on Mulberry Street.
