What Alameda County does
to a pizza oven.

Where pizza ovens sit in Alameda County: older housing stock, custom-built pizza ovens, mixed housing.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Older housing stock

In historic districts a backyard pizza oven usually stands in a small walled garden, and its smoke rolls along old brick toward the neighbors' windows, so a taller flue, a cap and dry hardwood matter more there than the oven's size.

Custom-built pizza ovens

Designer builds may clad a pizza oven's dome in tile or stucco chosen to match the house, and patching a crack there is planned so the finish is matched and the dome is cured slowly before its surface is restored.

Mixed housing

Commercial strips in mixed neighborhoods set an old pizzeria's decades-old deck oven beside a new shop's conveyor, which is why a technician working those blocks carries deck stones and belt links in the same van.
