Taste the Stone Oven and Brick Oven Difference at Frank’s at Brambleton
Pizza, a beloved worldwide dish, can take on unique characteristics depending on the type of oven you bake it in. At Frank’s at Brambleton in Roanoke, VA, we’re committed to providing the ultimate pizza experience. Join us as we uncover the distinctions between stone oven and brick oven pizza and how they impact the final taste and texture.
The Crucial Heat Source for Stone and Brick Oven Pizzas
Wood, coal, or gas often fuel stone ovens and have remarkable heat retention properties. These ovens use a stone cooking surface to distribute heat evenly and create the perfect cooking environment for pizza. Brick ovens, as their name suggests, have a bricks or stone construction and typically have a wood, coal, or gas source. They share similarities with stone ovens in terms of heat retention and even cooking.
Stone Oven Pizza Has a Subtle Smokiness in the Crust and Toppings
Stone Oven pizzas are popular for their distinct flavor profile. The stone cooking surface imparts a subtle smokiness to the crust and toppings, creating a delightful contrast of textures. The result is often a slightly crispy and charred crust with a rich and nuanced flavor.
Brick Oven Pizza Has a Crispy Crust
Brick Oven pizzas, like their stone oven counterparts, offer a unique taste experience. The high, even heat distribution in brick ovens leads to a crispy, blistered crust with beautifully charred edges. The toppings benefit from this intense heat, often acquiring a roasted and caramelized quality.
