THE PIZZA MAN

Charlie Carlotti was born in the Italian section of Brooklyn where great food traditions were practiced daily in homes and neighborhood specialty food shops. It was ingrained in him that not only quality ingredients were important, but special techniques as well. He started working in Pizzerias at the age of eleven washing dishes and helping in the kitchen. There he expressed interest in food and learning how to make pizza.This is how the obsession started.

THE DOUGH

You can’t build a home without a strong foundation, the same goes for great pizza. The dough is the foundation. We make our dough in our Brooklyn kitchen with Brooklyn water, our proprietary blend of flour, and a special fermentation/rising process that takes at least 72 hours.

THE OVENS

Custom built Pompeii mobile wood fired ovens (forno legna), built with the same construction ratios as the ovens discovered at the Pompeii ruins. Weighing 3500lbs, with a 4ft stone hearth for high volume baking, and a 3in thick insulated stone dome for heat retention, these ovens stay hot for days and take up to 2 hrs to heat up to nine hundred plus degrees. They are wood burning and the ovens are the centerpiece and main attraction of your event. We have food truck the ultimate open kitchen where your guests get to experience their food being prepared from start to finish.
