Mobile Firetruck Pizza Oven in CT

Southington Pizzeria Gets A Mobile Edge In A Firetruck -- Courant.com

This is awesome! Renovated fire truck pizza ovens in CT.

The owner has two of them. Each truck cost $60,000 to purchase and modify.

The truck rents for $1,250 for a party of 50 people.

I'd be curious to run the numbers and see how long it takes to break even on that truck, including the food materials cost and his time.

Very cool concept, though.

Joe Montana is Selling his Oven (and Home)

Where Joe Montana Kicks Back - WSJ.com

You can own the wood burning oven of NFL legend Joe Montana... oh, if you have $49M to buy his Tuscan-style estate in Northern California.

"Since retiring, Mr. Montana has been attending his sons' school football practices, cooking prime rib in a pizza oven and visiting French flea markets and Italian villas with his wife."

Quite the life!

Md. Man Builds Wood-Fired Pizza Oven In His Yard

Article from Maryland

I can relate to how John feels about "real" pizza:

No American version could compare, he said.

Cangemi was so obsessed with the pizza that he built his own wood-fired pizza oven in his backyard, off Howell Road. The oven was completed about three and a half years ago and took him around four months to build.

Another pizza obsessed crazy who builds his own oven :-) I'm impressed that he could actually build it himself (I had to hire people) and that he could do the design and tile work himself.
