Cooking Pizza in a Woodfire Oven on the North Shore

You really don't need a woodfired oven to make great pizza.

An electric or gas oven will work fine.

But if you ever get the opportunity to make pizza in a wood fired oven...jump on the chance.

In the following video you will get a taste of some of the pizzas that we recently created on Oahu's North Shore. All of the wood was kiawe wood, a Hawaiian hard wood.

The Norht Shore is arguably home of some of the best surfing in the world. You will discover Wiamea Bay, Pipeline and sunset Beach, right down the road.

The oven was built by my friend Paul who just had an inspiration that he wanted a pizza oven.
not that he knew how to make pizza: he didn't.

Paul creates the dough and allows his guests to go crazy with their pizza creations.

Believe me everyone was practicing Pizza Therapy.

Have a look:




And if you don't have a wood fired oven, use a pizza stone.
