Authentic Brick Oven Pizza

Brick Oven Pizza is a style of "Gourmet" pizza that usually consists of fresh ingredients on a homemade, hand tossed dough that is cooked an authentic wood fired brick oven. A brick oven gives a certain crispness and flavor that is impossible to duplicate in a conventional oven. Very high temperatures and a fire brick surface are key to making this tasty form of pizza which is sweeping the country.

 The original Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza of Staten Island NY is leading the industry after winning the World's Best Pizza title several times with it's Revolving Deck Brick Oven from the New York Brick Oven Co. This oven is the wave of the future for the fast casual pizza segment and tops for high production and consistent pizza making without relying on a skilled pizza makers.

What is a revolving brick pizza oven?

A revolving brick pizza oven is a brick oven that has a turntable brick cooking surface that rotates the pizza for you and ensures a perfectly cooked pie without having to have a brick oven expert to handle the usual high maintenance and special needs involved with a static or fixed surface oven. Some of these things that would make or break your product and production rate are: oven temperature-which can be set with a gas fired oven or a combination wood and gas fired oven, hot spots from bricks over heated, cold spots from the bricks not being able to recover the heat quickly due to cooking repeatedly on the same spot, having to constantly shift the pizza in the oven to avoid burning one side and cooking the pie evenly. All these ills are easily dispensed with when you can manually control the flame size and temperature. Moreover the rotating cooking surface is always at the right temperature and ensures all sides of the pie are cooked evenly without the need to turn them until they are removed for serving. WOW! The 3 time World Champion Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza of Staten Island New York has removed one of their original ovens and replaced it with a revolving oven that "has increased efficiency, speed and consistency" said the founder Scot Cosentino. The oven is now part of the standard training for the new wave of pizza men and women attending the Pizza School of New York and the future of fast casual pizza.

Andrew Scudera International Pizza Expo Champion and great guy!

I have known Andy for 19 years and watched him go from bus boy to driver to chef to pizza-man to manager to co-owner of the Original Goodfella's Pizza on Staten Island to International Pizza Expo World Champion. What amazes me most about this man is his incredible grace under fire and ability to get the job done no matter the circumstance. In an age where the role models in this country are more and more degraded and self absorbed it is becoming rare to find men of integrity who care about others and being a team player. Perhaps it is his wonderful close-knit family or the fact that he, his brother and their dad are all Eagle Scouts but whatever it is he is a man you count on and one that takes great pride in work. If you want to learn how to make the World's Best Pizza or just try some yourself just come on by Goodfellas on Hylan Blvd. and enjoy the wonderful pizza from the rotating wood burning oven. Happy Pizza to you.
