Pizza Oven




Cicely and I put this little oven together in the last couple of weeks out at Wolf Creek, near Winthrop. I suppose the idea begins with an Italian-styled inner dome, but the finish is decidedly Methow, with the galvanized metal roof and exposed boards. The stone is Montana Cabinet Gorge. If you want to know where to go for a truly Italian oven fired pizza, I have to recommend Tappi in Twisp, Washington, just down the road. John ought to know how to cook Italian. He makes a killer anchovie and calamata olives pizza that hits the spot on hot days for some salt restoration after drinking a couple gallons of well water. The bucks love the manicured yard which is a fairly rare commodity around here.
