Americans consider pizza to be one of their favorite kinds of food. According to Gitnux, 93% of them have it at least once every 30 days. When people think about pizza, they often think of the kind that's cooked in a standard pizza oven, but there are also some pizzas that are cooked in an oven filled with burning firewood. How does that impact the taste? Let's take a look.

"Perfect Imperfections"

No, that's not an oxymoron. When you cook pizza with firewood, there might be some things that look different than pies that are traditionally cooked. There might be some bubbles that show up on the crust or the center of the pie. That's what happens when it's cooked fast on high heat. You might notice that the bottom is charred a bit more than a regular pizza. Rest assured that everything is still going to be delicious.

You Can Get Specific Flavors

There are multiple distinct types of firewood that you can use to cook a pizza. For example, mesquite will give the pizza a different taste than your typical pizza from a pizzeria. There's going to be more of a smokey feel to it. If you want to experience something unusual, try making your pizza this way.

Both Your Nose and Mouth Will Remember

The reason that some people like firewood-cooked pizza is that the smoke and flavor can envelop the pie as well as your nostrils. It's a smell that will stay with you for a long time, in a good way. Then you'll have it added to your olfactory memory bank to look back on fondly. That flavor will also linger in your mouth, so you can savor both the taste and smell.

Just like you can put a lot of different toppings on your pizza, you can also heat a pizza up in a variety of ways. If you want to truly try something new, then you can't go wrong with firewood pizza. It's going to be a whole new taste sensation for you. Are you interested in making a firewood-cooked pizza?
