The history of woodfired pizza dates back to ancient civilizations, where people cooked flatbreads on hot stones or in open fires. However, it was not until the development of the modern pizza oven that wood-fired pizza became a popular and widespread dish.
In the early 1900s, pizza gained popularity in the United States, and wood-fired ovens began to be used to cook pizzas in many Italian-American restaurants. These ovens, which were fueled by wood, were able to reach high temperatures, allowing the pizzas to cook quickly and develop a crisp, chewy crust.
Today, wood-fired pizza is enjoyed all over the world and has become a popular choice at pizzerias and food trucks. Balsamo's pizzeria food truck, located in northern Virginia, is known for creating some of the most authentic wood-fired pizzas in the region.
At Balsamo's, we use only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients and cook our pizzas in a Valoriani wood-fired oven, just like the traditional pizzerias in Italy. This method of cooking allows us to create pizzas with a crispy, chewy crust and rich, flavorful toppings.
