Dinner at Bombfire Pizza

Hey All,

Well if you dont know im in Savanna, IL helping my friends Eric and Allen do the food for their Xmas Party this evening. Last night wehad a chance to duck out for wood fire pizza (think of me yelling that in that anoying "opraha style voice") LOL..... well it was great met the owner Tom and he showed me around their cool kitchen and the wood buring oven! Now keep in mind this is only wood heating up this oven its was so cool, not like the one at Table 52 (not putting the oven down at all) which was both gas and wood this baby runs on wood alone we had crab stuffedmushrooms to start then followed by two pizza's the first was bbq chicken my fav! and then a pepperoni and mushroo, both were great and you could realy get the flav of the wood oven. We might be heading back there Sunday to help him work out some bread stuff, so if you are ever in the hood you gotta check it out.
