Like many restaurants that serve pizza, Pompeii utilizes a brick oven. The oven at Pompeii, however, is not fueled by gas or wood, but by wood & coal. The result is an extremely hot fire that produces a pizza with a distinct flavor. The pizza has a light smokey, barbecued flavor. It’s a different kind of pizza.Coal fired pizzas trace their beginnings back some 100 years to Italian immigrants making new homes in New York. Bakers & cooks were unable to find an ample supply of wood, as was readily available in Italy. As a result, they started using coal. What came out of their new ovens was a cirspy crusted pizza known for its slightly charred crust.A combination of oak wood & coal shipped in from Pennsylvania is used to heat the oven at Pompeii. The herbs & vegetables are always fresh. Everything from the dough to the sauces used at Pompeii is made here, with many ingredients imported from Italy.Stop in today to try a pizza from Pompeii…a different kind of pizza!
