making pizza -
We're making
pizza better!
About
At Oak Fire Pizza, we never stop working as a team to improve our recipes, methods and suppliers. We love local and always work with local suppliers whenever and wherever we can.
Our Ovens
We are staying true to the traditional methods of pizza making, which date back over a millennium. The first pizzas were created by spreading tomatoes on flatbread and baking in a hot wood fired oven. That’s exactly how we do it today in our 2 tonne wood fired ovens which come from the Modena region of Italy.
These ovens reach such high temperatures, that the pizza will cook in under 90 seconds.
Our Pizza Dough
Our dough is the product of nearly 15 years of trailing, sampling, learning and tweaking a very simple blend of Italian flour, fresh bakers yeast, filtered water and sea salt. We bulk prove our mix for 3 days, and then a further 24 hours after balling. The long proof time results in a lighter crust with a more developed sourdough like flavour, more easily digestable, and soft with a light chew, and a crisper outer crust.
The Finished Product
We are pizza perfectionists and we believe there is nothing better than the best ingredients used in the simplest way. There’s no secret recipe, just ridiculously high standards, a load of passion, and the best team of people in the business.
OUR GOAL, IS TO
BE CORK’s

PIZZA GOODNESS
