I invite * to join me for luncheon at a Pizzeria where Pizzas are baked in a mango-wood fired oven. Time and Date: will be told personally.
The Pizzeria that I speak of, is located at Vasant Vihar (New Delhi), by the name Sartoria. I know quite a few places in Delhi which bake their Pizzas in ovens, but sadly the ovens used are the electric ones. Sigh!
A clay oven…Can u spot the chimeny on the top?
Another clay oven
Traditionally, Pizzas are made in either a wood or a coal fired ‘Brick Oven’. But these days ‘Clay Ovens’, fired by the same fuels are more popular. If you have ever chanced upon a ‘Brick Oven’ and have had a Pizza baked in that, I must say you are DAMN lucky! A wood fired oven
I conclude by saying that Reeta yearns for a Pizza baked at a Pizzeria which has a ‘Brick Oven’; and the Pizzeria be situated at one of the lesser known places (approachable only by foot) in the bylanes of Himachal.
And my ideal Pizzeria would look something like this:
P.S.: For those who would like to own the latest electric oven chk out the one being sold by Kalamazoo, while I ready myself to savour one made in an oven fired by mango-wood.
Mango wood?!!! How cooool!!!! Very Indian. I would prefer the Indian Tandoor anytime over that ultra modern one!
Mango wood is so exotic:))
Happy Holidays.
