The cooking and preparation process used by Barone is whats sets them apart from the other popular pizza places who use a cookie cutter approach, and heavy packaged toppings.
Bricco uses one of the most expensive pizza ovens in the world. It requires a 2 hour pre-lighting process and hourly monitoring in order to provide a tasty crust and pizza.
At Bricco, the dough is aged, brought to the proper temperature, and hand-tossed to create the perfect bake. When the ingredients and the baking in a 1,000 degree coal fired oven produces a foundation crust that is thin, tender, and a bit crunchy for a flavorful product.
