What Miami-Dade County does
to a pizza oven.

Where pizza ovens sit in Miami-Dade County: on the water, tower living, seasonal houses.

All of Miami / South Florida

On the water

A masonry dome near salt water breathes in damp, salty air, and salt crystals forming inside its render push the surface off in flakes, so a dome by the sea is best kept under a breathable cover and sealed with a coating made for refractory.

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.

Seasonal houses

At a seasonal house a pizza oven may go months without a fire, time enough for rain to soak the dome and birds to nest in the flue, so the first visit back clears the chimney and dries the refractory before a full bake.

Aventura

Aventura's tower terraces with shared gas ovens and its canal-side homes with private domes face the same enemy, salt carried off the water, and a pizza oven beside a dock needs its door seal and burner looked at far more often than one inland.

Bal Harbour

No planned community in Florida buried its utility lines before Bal Harbour did.

Brickell

Brickell's tower condos rarely allow an open flame on a balcony, so pizza night there means the building's amenity terrace, where a shared gas pizza oven bakes for many residents and its knobs and door hinges take the salt breeze off Biscayne Bay.

Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove's gardens run wild and humid, and a pizza oven tucked into that greenery grows mildew on its render and rust along its flue, so a visit here looks as closely at the outer shell as at the fire inside.

Coral Gables

Coral Gables' leafy streets shade many backyard domes, and a dome under dripping oaks after an afternoon storm takes days to dry, so owners here keep a fitted cover on it and build the first fire of the evening low.

Golden Beach

A1A is the only road into Golden Beach because of road closures made in 1981, and a police guardhouse watches the entrance.

Key Biscayne

On Key Biscayne the island air carries salt into every hinge, and ovens at seasonal homes may wait months between bakes, so the first pizza night of the winter season often reveals a sticking door, a soaked floor or a nest in the flue.

Miami Beach

Joe's Stone Crab, started by Hungarian immigrants Joe and Jenny Weiss, won an America's Classic Award from the James Beard Foundation in 1998.

Pinecrest

The Miami Serpentarium, which showed snakes, lizards and other reptiles, operated on US 1 in the area for many decades before closing in the mid-1980s.

Sunny Isles Beach

Harvey Baker Graves bought a 2.26-square-mile tract in 1920 to build a tourist resort, the beginning of Sunny Isles.
