Pizza oven repair in Palo Alto.

Palo Alto families often run a hybrid pizza oven that lights on gas and finishes on wood, and through the long dry season the ash raked from the oven floor is cooled in a metal can before it goes anywhere near mulch or dry leaves.

What Palo Alto does
to a pizza oven.

Before joining Prego, the pizza chef Ed LaDou briefly made pizzas at Ecco, an upscale restaurant in the Hyatt Hotel in Palo Alto.

Palo Alto has two downtowns, one on University Avenue and one on California Avenue, because it absorbed the neighboring town of Mayfield in 1925.

Kingsley, Lincoln and Addison avenues frame Professorville, the historic district where Stanford's early professors made their homes.

Palo Alto's local wood smoke ordinance requires newly installed wood-burning devices to be EPA certified and restricts what can go in during a remodel.

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.

Newer developments

Builders in newer subdivisions often leave a gas stub on the patio, and a pizza oven hooked to it straight out of its propane box burns rich, with a tall, sooty flame that stains the dome's ceiling, until its orifice and regulator are matched to natural gas.

Family houses

Family backyards often put the pizza oven near where children play, and its door, flue and outer shell get very hot, so a clear zone around the oven and closing the gas at the end of the night are the simplest safeguards.

When a pizza oven
cannot wait in Palo Alto.

In Palo Alto as anywhere, these four put whoever stands at the oven's mouth, and the building around the flue, at risk, and they mean the gas or the power stays off until we arrive: a gas smell at the oven or its supply line, flame escaping the mouth or showing behind the panel or up the chimney, a hot electrical or burning smell, and smoke that fills the room instead of leaving by the flue.
