Best Wood For Pizza Ovens

When it comes to wood-fired pizza ovens, the best wood to use is hardwood. Hardwoods, such as oak and fruitwoods like apple and cherry are denser and have a higher energy content than softwoods. We source the majority of our wood for cooking locally in Idaho and provide wood delivery in Boise, Ketchum, Twin Falls and other areas by request.

No matter what size or type of pizza oven you have, consistent and intense heat is essential for cooking the perfect pizza. Our oak, apple and cherry wood are cut and seasoned (dried) perfectly to burn at high temperature, providing a long lasting wood fire with less ash and smoke.

Building a hot fire and coals in your pizza oven allow for the dough to cook quickly and evenly, resulting in a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese. Each type of hardwood will provide a slightly different smokey flavor. Oak is a popular choice and has a mild smoky flavor. Fruitwoods like apple and cherry are known for their sweet and fruity aroma that can add a unique flavor to your pizza.
