Rolling Out the Dough
Mar 21, 2016I spent longer than I’d like to admit thinking of halfway decent puns that involve the word “dough.” I’m not sure why, this post is a pretty straightforward recollection of how I found at the dough I use today.

Bad Weather and Pizza Ovens
Feb 04, 2016As a resident of California for the past 17 years, I believe that I can officially claim the title of spoiled summer child. As much as I would like to deny it, I simply can’t take the cold. A brisk breeze sends me running in search of a coat (much to my Virginian father’s amusement), and I adamantly believe that the best way to experience a snowstorm is inside one’s... Read More
A Happy Bella Pizza Oven Owner!
Jan 19, 2016This is a testimonial we received from Steve W. of Colorado who recently purchased a Bella Outdoor Living pizza oven: We bought the pizza oven with the 28″ x 24″ cooking surface, which is plenty large enough to do two 12″ pizzas at the same time.

Oct 23, 2015Many wood fired oven enthusiasts make more than pizza in their ovens and a favorite cooking accessory is a cast iron skillet. Peter Reinhart, Todd Fisher and Brigit Binns all used Lodge cast iron skillets in their cooking demonstrations at the Forno Bravo Expo this year. Peter cooked a melody of seafood in the skillet first, then cooked the pizza dough and added the seafood as topping to the pizza.... Read More
