About

The first wood burning pizza oven in the north east of England since the Romans were here! Est 2004. reborn in 2014. now we're going on the road!

The Log Fire Pizza Co is a food truck, specialising in real Italian street food, including stone baked pizza & pizza fritta. We only use ingredients sourced from Naples & Italia so we can adhere to the strict rules to make a true Neapolitan pizza . * Authentic Neapolitan Pizza Requirements* An authentic Neapolitan pizza has a crust made from a dough that is made with highly-refined Italian type 00 wheat flour, Neapolitan or fresh brewer’s yeast (not dry yeast), water, and salt. The dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer and formed by hand, without the help of a rolling pin. The dough is topped with raw, pureed San Marzano tomatoes from Italy; fior di latte, which is mozzarella cheese made from cow’s milk, or mozzarella di Bufala, which is mozzarella cheese made from the milk of water buffalos, usually raised in the Campania and Lazio marshlands in Italy; fresh basil, and extra-virgin olive oil. The ingredients must be all-natural and fresh. The pizza is baked for 60–90 seconds in a minimum 800°F stone oven with a wood fire. It has to be wood-fired oven & defiantly not electric or gas! Historically in Naples, making pizza fritta has been the profession of hard working women, women who just got by: a frying pan on the sidewalk was enough, whereas a wood-fired oven was expensive, they were smart these women of Naples: ' To avoid competition, they each had their own day to fry. To describe a pizza fritta is a difficult exercise: words and pictures just aren't enough. The dough - light, crisp souffle-like - is a small miracle of creation. The golden shell hides mysteries within - you can only anticipate the joy of tasting it....... unique, delicious, irresistible - you have to taste it & get your hands dirty! We cater for all sorts of functions and can also be found on the streets, check our Facebook and Twitter pages to see where we are.
