What Upper West Side does
to a pizza oven.

Broadway, the old Bloomingdale Road, forms the 66-block spine of the neighborhood.

In 1962 the New York Central Railroad and a lithographers' union proposed Litho City, 12,000 apartments on platforms over the rail yards, the first of 40 years of plans for what became Riverside South.

By 1960 part of the area was a rough stretch of tenements, and their demolition was held off so the film West Side Story could shoot exteriors there.

Tower living

A gas pizza oven on a high terrace catches crosswinds that blow straight into its open mouth and push the flame off the burner, so a visit up there checks the oven's placement, its wind shelter and the gas supply before any part is judged.

Tight patios and small shops

On a small patio a countertop pizza oven often stands inches from siding or a fence, and its hot back and chimney need the clearances the maker lists, since scorched wood beside it is the first sign the oven is set too close.

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.

When a pizza oven
cannot wait in Upper West Side.

In Upper West Side 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.
