What DUMBO does
to a pizza oven.

Grimaldi's later moved next door to 1 Front Street, an 1869 building that had been Brooklyn's first safety deposit bank, where its pies come out of coal-fired brick ovens.

In December 2012 Grimaldi opened Juliana's in his old Old Fulton Street space, serving whole pies from a coal-fired oven.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted on December 18, 2007, to make Dumbo the city's 90th historic district.

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.

Older housing stock

Older neighborhoods keep some of the country's longest-running pizzerias, whose deck and brick ovens have been rebuilt around the same flue for decades, and a smoke or draw problem there is traced up the old chimney before anything in the oven is replaced.

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 DUMBO.

In DUMBO 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.
