Check out this New York Fire station-inspired pizza place in the South: Firehouse Pizza

What is actually the difference between a pizza baked on a regular oven and a pizza baked in wood fire brick ovens? I have tried several commercial pizzas and they all taste your regular go-to pizzas during Sundays. Brick oven pizzas have that unique smoky taste and crisp. The radiant heat from the fire and the heat bouncing off the inside walls of the oven crisps the outside of the pizza very quickly. A really good pizza is made in this environment.

Situated at Crimson Hotel Alabang, a newly built pizza place offers brick-oven pizzas New York style! With its Firehouse-themed inspired interiors and industrial designs, young millennials and even Gen Zs would surely love taking photos inside this new cool hangout in the South.

A nice spacious booth for a group of 4 to 5.

I had this for take-away!

Brick oven pizzas are getting popular in the Philippines. When you feel like eating thin-crust pizzas, I’d recommend opting for brick oven-cooked ones. You’d see the difference once you’ve tasted it. For some people, they leave the crust behind on their plates but for Fireplace pizzas, there was nothing left over!
