What Highland Park does
to a pizza oven.

A bluff about 100 feet high runs along 6 miles of its Lake Michigan shore, cut by wooded ravines reaching up to a mile inland.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Willits House is among the Highland Park landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places.

Two German immigrants founded a lakeside town on the site in 1847, and Port Clinton, just to the south, got a federally funded lighthouse in 1854.

On a lake

Afternoon wind off a lake can blow into a pizza oven's mouth and push smoke back out at the cook, so on a lakeside patio the oven works best with its opening turned away from the water and a chimney tall enough to draw against the gusts.

Older housing stock

Houses from another era often carry gas lines that were extended in stages, and a pizza oven added at the end of that chain may not get the pressure its burner needs, so a slow preheat is measured at the oven's inlet before its valve is blamed.

Mixed housing

Streets of old and new houses hold pizza ovens of every age, from a mason-built brick dome decades old to a new countertop gas model with a digital thermometer, and the technician carries parts and refractory mortar for both.

When a pizza oven
cannot wait in Highland Park.

In Highland Park 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.
