It seems a wood fired oven on a trailer (aka pizza trailer) has been generating quite a stir in Brooklyn, New York. It’s proprietor, Dave Sclarow, is chef de cuisine at Lunetta in Boerum Hill and the oven is his culinary/construction side project.

Sclarow christened his homemade oven, dubbed “Pizza Moto,” at a friend’s wedding reception and has been working the local farmer’s market circuit as of late. According to the author of the piece, the oven is “a crude, lumpy, fire-blackened machine” but it turns out pies that can only be described as “ideal.” Words like “sour dough starter,” “charred on the bottom and the edges, chewy inside,” and “blackened bubble”–all good signs–get thrown around, too, but we’ll let you read more about that at nytimes.com.

The mobile wood fired oven may be a new phenomenon in New York City (Chez Pannisse veteran Joel Baecker also gets a nod for hauling a portable oven around the Bay Area two years ago), but it’s old hat here at Maine Wood Heat. And not to toot our own horns or anything, but we’re kind of partial to beautiful ovens that turn out beautiful food. We’ve been dishing out incredible pizzas with our own mobile copper oven for seven years now, and at this point we’ve created what could legitimately be considered a fleet.
