Default Re: Pizza oven as bun warmer

There's an "upscale" diner in Bloomfield NJ that has a gas fired woodstone. I one time watched them make a pizza in it. The cook spent about the first half of the six minute cook time poking the pizza with an angled metal prod, no doubt to discourage that annoying oven spring. About half way through the cook time he pulled it to the entry with a turning peel, and turned the thing around WITH HIS FINGERS! I almost fell out of my booth laughing.
