Brick Oven Pizza Phenomenon

Brick Oven Pizza Phenomenon Time.

Brick Oven Pizza Phenomenon. Yes, it is quite phenomenal how many brick oven pizza places are opening around the country these days with concepts ranging from fast casual chains to buffet concepts, mom and pop joints and even the PI pizza delivery boat in St. Thomas. There are several factors contributing to this sudden expansion in the pizza market and a few that come immediately to mind are: the internet, food networks, pizza schools, revolving brick ovens and youtube. All these factors have made a tremendous difference for the entrepreneur in areas such as knowledge, availability, ease of operation and promotion. Old school pizza business required a lot of legwork because the information, equipment, and recipes were not available to your average person. It is hard for the younger generations to relate to what it took to get started because they never experienced a world without such conveniences as the cell phone never mind the internet. Imagine for a minute having to make all your business calls from a fixed location, none while driving, walking or commuting and if you had to make a call on the road you had to find a coin operated phone booth. Not to mention no answering machines or call waiting so if you missed someone or they were not near a phone you were out of luck for minutes, hours or days till you were able to get hold of them. Those of you over 40 will appreciate this and to those too young to remember those days all I can say is that it made starting a business very hard. Add to that having to come up with dough recipes, hunting down ingredients and equipment by traveling to actual stores and visiting people in business for ideas. No, you couldn’t just click and get a hundred different recipes or a dozen different mixers. How about ovens. Hand built brick ovens were the only game available and good luck finding a reputable builder, a decent price or even the ability schedule construction of the oven in any alignment with your own construction. Now add to that the impossibility of finding a pizza man skilled in working a wood fired brick oven, building codes, wood supplies and you start to get the idea of the logistics, training, and skill that was needed just to start.

Pizza School of New York

The Pizza School New York has not only trained exceptional award winning pizza makers but has helped launch scores of successful pizza places and chains around the world.

Now you have a revolving brick oven that makes perfect pizza and can be mastered in a day or two. Basically, all these points are driving the generations of entrepreneurs to higher creativity and a much higher success rate than the men and women of even a generation earlier. This time just may become known as the “Glory Days of Pizza” here in America.

Neapolitan Pizza Start Ups

Andrew Scudera of the Pizza School New York recently spoke at Pizza Expo about the New Trend in Neapolitan Pizza start ups. He spoke about how it’s made, best ingredients and tips for the newcomers to the pizza industry. Aside from being a world champion pizza maker, restaurant owner/operator he has personally trained hundreds of successful pizza makers from around the world at the Pizza school of New York and helped launch dozens of new pizza concepts with his partner Scot Cosentino.

Quality

The main points he emphasized were: quality, food costs, and consistency. He broke these down to the basics of sourcing fresh ingredients that can be consistently delivered by reliable vendors. Having well a thought out menus with very clear preparation and cooking instructions that are well known by trained staff. One of the most important things is that “specifications” are followed by all staff . They need to be followed and demonstrated consistently by all the individuals involved in the production. This will ensure quality products and targetted food cost number will be met

Profits

This part he gave special attention to stating that it could make or break your bottom line if not checked continuously. He also stated that one of his successful action is to use a revolving brick oven. The Revolving brick oven eliminates the need for specialized pizza makers that require a lot of training. This reduces labor costs and increases the labor pool by no longer having to find high paid pizza makers. Another area of importance he mentioned is to ensure that your line is set up well for production with careful attention to how the production takes place and the product is prepared, baked, plated and boxed at each step of the process to ensure ease of operation, step saving(literally) and minimal reach. These small but important steps of making sure your line runs smooth and efficiently can save countless dollars. On a busy night being ready means no wasted time and upset to your crew. Stay tuned for future insights and happy pizza!
