Adventures in Wood-Fired-Pizza-Making

A couple weeks ago we had some stellar weather here in Southwest Michigan. To celebrate that and to thank the many people at Big C Lumber who provided the materials for building my parents' new house, my dad and I collaborated on an afternoon of making pizzas in the wood-fired oven out on the new screen porch. All in all, we made 8 pizzas using combinations of the following laundry list of toppings: Roma tomatoes, pineapple chunks, Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, shredded chicken, purple and yellow fingerling potatoes, basil, sauteed yellow peppers and onions, asparagus, eggs, fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, blue cheese and a 4-cheese blend.

No recipe and little talk here--the photos speak for themselves.
