wood-fired oven

Log-burning baking chamber

A wood-fired oven is heated by burning wood rather than gas or electricity, typically a domed brick or stone chamber that reaches very high temperatures.

The design originated for baking bread but is now associated especially with pizza: The restaurant installed a wood-fired oven imported from Naples.

The intense, direct heat and slight smokiness produce results difficult to replicate in conventional ovens.
