Brick Oven

Here at Point Blank Brewing we use our own custom made brick oven to cook our food. It gives our pizza a non traditional taste compared to what you're used to with places like Papa Johns where all they use is a normal oven and the pizzas taste the same. The brick oven at Point Blank gives the pizza more of an outdoorsy taste (per say) because of the wood fire.

The brick oven at Point Blank Brewing can cook a pizza as quick as 90 seconds. Amazing, I know.

A brick oven is made out of clay adobe, refractory fire bricks, or refractory concrete - which is a heat resistance mix. They are usually inexpensive to make and materials can be found almost anywhere. The brick oven at Point Blank was custom built by the owner, Nathan Blank and his co-workers. They had a lot of their materials shipped to them. 

A fire is built inside the oven and the heat is absorbed into the walls making it stay hot. The oven door and chimney are left open and the fire can be maintained or slowly die down. In a restaurant they would keep the fire going all night in order to insure they can make food anytime someone comes in. A typical oven doesn't take very long to preheat, but a brick oven could take up to two or more hours to get hot depending on size. 

At Point Blank Brewing the brick oven produces delicious foods for their customers such as pizza, calzones, bread sticks, and much more! Come in and try out our brick oven pizza today!
