wood-fired pizza
Flame-kissed Italian flatbread
Pizza baked in an oven heated by burning wood rather than gas or electricity.
The intense, uneven heat produces a charred, blistered crust and distinctive smoky flavor that conventional ovens can't replicate.
Wood-fired pizza has become a marker of artisanal or authentic Italian-style preparation: The new place does wood-fired pizza with a perfectly leopard-spotted crust.
