In a world that emphasizes variety, Wood Oven Pizza is a monument to the value of specialty. Where restaurants devote resources to countless appetizers and entrees, Wood Oven Pizza puts everything into perfecting their stand-alone product. And that product, that flawless piece of art that they craft every day, that product…is the greatest pizza I have ever had and could ever hope to have in my life.I do not overstate this. I have been all over the country and I have traveled the world, including Italy, and I swear on everything that I hold true that THIS is the greatest pizza I have ever had. I suspect it is the greatest I will ever have.So, no, they do not dilute their menu with fusions of cuisines from far flung lands or a myriad of appetizers, because they don't have to. They know better. They understand that their product alone is sufficient to satisfy. And boy does it.Now do not mishear me, I am not saying they make one type of pizza. They have variety. But that variety is in the countless ways they can enhance their already perfect product; toppings and ingredients.Now they don’t just deliver in the way of taste. Somehow this food just makes you feel good. Have you ever eaten a pizza and felt like you could run a marathon right after? Well I have. With most pizza places (well really all instead of this place) the sheer amount of carbs, cheese, and grease leave you exhausted and looking for the closest soft surface to ride out your food coma. Not here. I don’t know where they get their ingredients or what spell they cast over their pizza but, honestly, I can (and have) workout within 20 minutes of eating AN ENTIRE PIZZA from here. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? How can I be full and satisfied but also feeling good enough to go for a run? It is truly mind blowing.In sum, I write this article as a plea to you, the general public, to take a leap of faith on this place. Yes, the menu is limited, but that is by design. TRUST THAT DESIGN. This is not an, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” situation…characterizing the artwork that they produce as “ain’t broke” would be a gross injustice. This is artisanship, this is care and dedication to your craft this is, in a word, flawless… and in more, the way food ought to be.Please, walk inside Wood Oven Pizza, sit down and be greeted by the kindest and hardest working family. Treat yourself to an unforgettable pizza that will leave you begging for more. I promise it will. And I know you won’t regret it.10/10

The pizzas were good, but over priced. The service was friendly, but they played “Happy” by Pharrell Williams on repeat the whole time.
