Wood-fired pizza, the way Nonna intended.

Forno is a rustic neighborhood pizzeria where 72-hour dough meets a roaring oak fire, San Marzano tomatoes, and a whole lot of heart.

Our little kitchen

A pizzeria built around fire, flour, and family.

We opened Forno with one stubborn belief: a great pizza needs nothing more than patient dough, honest ingredients, and a genuinely hot oven. Everything else is just noise.

  • Dough cold-fermented for 72 hours, hand-stretched to order.
  • Imported San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella.
  • A live oak fire that hits 480Β°C β€” your pizza cooks in 90 seconds.

The wood-fired story

Ninety seconds in a 480Β° oven.

Our oven is the heart of the room β€” a hand-built dome that burns seasoned oak and holds a roaring 480Β°C. At that heat a pizza puffs, chars, and finishes in about ninety seconds, locking in a smoky, blistered crust you simply can't fake.

We keep the fire lit from morning prep to last order, feeding it by hand and reading the flame the way a baker reads dough.
