What Battery Park City does
to a pizza oven.

Twenty-three buildings went up there in the 1980s, nine more in the 1990s, eleven in the 2000s and three in the 2010s.

Once the landfill passed to the Battery Park City Authority in 1979, Alex Cooper and Stanton Eckstut drew up a new, more workable master plan.

Its residential subsections also hold park space, supermarkets, restaurants and movie theaters.

Tower living

Most tower rules keep wood fires and open-flame pizza ovens off private balconies, so pizza in a high-rise comes from a shared gas oven on the amenity terrace or the pizzeria at street level, and a shared oven's igniter and door wear out under many hands.

Newer developments

Planned developments often have rules about chimney height, smoke and where a wood-fired oven may stand, and a repair that raises a flue or rebuilds a base is planned around those rules from the start.

On the water

Salt spray from the ocean or a bay settles on a pizza oven's steel door, hinges and flue, and pitting starts within a season, so near salt water the oven is rinsed with fresh water once cool and its door and chimney cap are the first parts inspected.

When a pizza oven
cannot wait in Battery Park City.

In Battery Park City 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.
