Pizza oven repair in Lincoln Park.

Lincoln Park's greystones back onto small yards and wooden rear porches, and an open-flame pizza oven belongs on the ground or a masonry pad well away from those porches, where its chimney can rise clear of the eaves.

What Lincoln Park does
to a pizza oven.

In 1824 the U.S. Army built a small post near today's Clybourn and Armitage Avenues.

In 1837, the year Chicago became a city, the state allowed its residents to use the land north of North Avenue as a cemetery.

The original Ferris Wheel stood at a small amusement park near Clark Street from 1896 to 1903.

Neighbors formed the Lincoln Park Conservation Association in 1954 to keep housing from decaying, and by 1956 the area was receiving urban renewal money to restore old buildings and schools.

All of Chicago

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.

Family houses

Yards that back onto open land invite field mice into a cold pizza oven over winter, and a nest stuffed beneath the floor or a gnawed spark lead can stop the first fire of spring, so that space is opened and cleared on a visit.

Mixed housing

A pizza oven inherited with a house may have been built by a local mason with no name or model plate, so the first visit measures the dome, the floor and the flue before choosing refractory materials that match.

When a pizza oven
cannot wait in Lincoln Park.

In Lincoln 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.
