Pizza Venting - Plain Sight - New Jersey Monthly

The oven at Anthony's Pizza and Pasta on the Green in Morristown can handle eight large pies at once. In other words, it's a biggie. It runs at 550 degrees, and requires some serious ductwork to vent the excess heat...

I spent yesterday learning to make pizza and work the ovens at Anthony's. I'll replay my adventure in dough-stretching and sauce-ladling in our February issue, which will be devoted to pizza, a food of which New Jerseyans can be proud.

By the way the large discs lying on top of the oven are screens. Placed under the baking pies when necessary, they prevent the crust from scorching.

pizza truck

If you want to be impressed by a much smaller-scale pizza operation on wheels, check out Grandma’s in Jersey City. It’s a pizza truck with a regular-size pizza oven - and the pie is delicious.

New Morristown Pizza

Eric: The new pizzeria down by the RR station turns out some respectable pies. It seems like they make their own crusts, although I didn’t dig too deeply on that.

The place is clean and the staff friendly..
