Brick Oven Pizza Explosion
There is an explosion of Brick Oven pizza places opening in America
BriefingWire.com, 4/20/2016 -
Truly, it is quite phenomenal how many brick oven pizza concepts are opening around the United States these days with concepts ranging from fast casual chains to to buffet concepts, mom and pop joints and even the PI pizza delivery boat on the Island of St. Thomas. There are several reasons contributing to this quick expansion in the pizza market and a few that come immediately to mind are: the internet, food networks, pizza schools, revolving brick ovens and youtube. All these factors have made a huge difference for the entrepreneur in areas such as knowledge, availability, ease of operation and promotion. Years ago a pizza business required a lot of leg work because the information, equipment and recipes were not available to your average person. It is hard for the younger generations to relate to what it took to get started because they never experienced a world without such conveniences as the mobile phone never mind the internet. Imagine for a minute having to make all your business calls from a fixed location, none while driving, walking or commuting and if you had to make a call on the road you had to find a coin operated phone booth. Not to mention-no answering machines or call waiting so if you missed someone or they were not near a phone you were out of luck for minutes, hours or days till you were able to get hold of them. Those of us over 40 will appreciate this and to those too young to remember those days all I can say is that it made opening a business very hard. Add to that having to come up with dough recipes, hunting down ingredients and equipment by traveling to actual stores and visiting people in business for ideas. No, you couldn't just click and get a hundred different recipes or a dozen different mixers. How about brick ovens? Hand built brick ovens were the only game in town and good luck finding a reputable builder, a decent price or even the ability schedule construction of the oven in any alignment with your own construction. Now add to that the impossibility of finding a pizza man skilled in working a wood fired brick oven, building codes, wood supplies and you start to get the idea of the logistics, training and skill that was needed just to start. Now we have the Pizza School New York and Revolving Brick Ovens. It was unheard of that anyone would give you a dough recipe never mind mind teach you the business of pizza. The Pizza School of New York has not only trained talentd award winning pizza makers but has helped launch scores of successful pizza places and chains around the world. New York is known as the capital of pizza across the globe. Finally, it was also unheard of to have a brick oven that did not require intense training and skill to operate which then permitted a pizza maker to demand a very substantial salary due to his rare skill. Now you have a revolving brick oven that makes perfect pizza consistently and can be mastered in a day or two. Accordingly all these points are driving the next generations of entrepreneurs to higher creativity and a much higher success rate than the pizza men and pizza women of even a generation earlier. This time will be known as the "Glory Days of Pizza" here in America.
