Scientifically! Why wood-fired/gas-fired ovens?

[Muti]

Does anyone know why wood-fired ovens cook better pizza scientifically?

Does anyone also know that ‘the term of better Pizza’ include ‘healthy’ as well as delicious?

Any comments/help/suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

No clue as to why it would be better scientifically, to me heat is heat. But... Seeing the pies cook with fire around it, like our ancestors cooked, it's pretty much a cult like experience (with out the Cool-Aid). Besides that, who doesn't enjoy starting a fire? In regard to healthy, I drink beer or wine with my pizza, both made from vegetables and fruit.
