Unlike gas or electric ovens, our coal-fired ovens require more attention to maintain the high heat needed to craft our signature pizzas. To preserve this quality, we tend to them twice a day in a process called stoking, a pizza-making tradition that goes back over 100 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">During stoking, we take a short break from cooking pizzas to stir the coal, clear out ash, and add fresh coal to keep the heat consistent. Without this important step, the fire would cool down, making it impossible to bake our pizzas to perfection with their signature flavor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While pizza baking is briefly paused, you can still enjoy drinks, appetizers, salads, and desserts. Once complete, the ovens are ready to continue serving the award-winning pizzas our customers love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>*Generally, stoking occurs between 3-5pm, but can vary by location.
