Pizza oven
A pizza oven is an oven that is specially suited for making pizzas, especially Neapolitan pizza. They can be wood-fired, such as a masonry oven, gas-fired, or electric.
Primitive cultures across the world cooked food on a bakestone or the floor of the hearth itself. Vertical ovens are of Semitic origin and they have been found across the Middle East, Central Asia, northern India, and North Africa and along the Mediterranean coasts.
Acunto Forni, an award winning manufacturer based in Naples, was founded in 1892 by Vincenzo Acunto.
G.S. Blodgett Company in the U.S. offered a gas-fired oven designed by Frank Mastro "The Pizza King".
In 1949, Ira Nevin, an oven repairman who had been stationed in Naples during WWII, received a U.S. patent for the design of a ceramic-lined gas-powered oven specifically for pizzas and founded a company called Baker's Pride.
Faulds Oven & Equipment Co. developed a rotating shelf oven system used in some Chicago area pizzerias.
The high temperatures achieved in a pizza oven create conditions where a Maillard reaction can occur, the moisture from the pizza ingredients evaporates and the steam is trapped in the oven. The operation of wood-fired pizza ovens is dependent on the operator's ability.
Pizza ovens have not received much coverage as a source of urban pollution. A 2018 study found that although wood-fired ovens gave rise to high particle emissions, the concentrations of fine particles they measured were low.
