Selecting the right wood for a pizza oven is crucial for achieving that perfect, authentic flavor and crust. Hardwoods are the preferred choice due to their ability to burn hot and consistently. Woods like oak, beech, maple, and fruitwoods such as apple or cherry impart a delightful aroma and flavor to the pizza. It’s essential to use seasoned wood, as it burns more cleanly, ensuring an optimal cooking environment for your pizza masterpiece. The result is a mouthwatering pizza with a crispy crust and that distinctive wood-fired taste.
