Wood fired pizza

I'm just reinforcing what Muebe says.
The slightly charred smoky dough / crust is the main act.
A little sauce, light toppings & modest cheese are to enhance the main flavor of the crust.
With lots toppings the crust chars before toppings are done.

Totally agree. For me the fun is making a variety of smaller / simpler pizzas with unique ingredients. They cook so fast, you can provide your family or guests with a taste treat every couple minutes. And like muebe and LA point out - the crust is the star.

Well said!

IMHO deep dish pizza is not best for a wood fired pizza oven unless the dough is precooked.

Hand tossed and thin is the best. And the flavor you get is really good! Smokey with a slight charring.

Great tips and I can just smell the aroma of those pies just reading about them.

Agreed. If you like loads of toppings then Dominos will gladly make it for you. If you want great pizza then less is more. A little
Bocconcini, a few artichoke hearts, a light fresh sauce, and some fresh Basil after it comes out is my style of Pizza.
