I got my usual Margherita, and my friends got their usual pepperoni pies. But it's hardly foolproof, and still requires an attentive pizzaiolo to achieve optimal results. I don't have vast experience with revolving-deck pizza ovens, but I suppose that a faster rpm means that a pie won't burn too quickly along one side. I was surprised to see how fast Pi Craft's oven deck revolved. the chef or oven attendant, who needs to rotate the pizzas, so that each pie bakes evenly. But they still require attention from the pizzaiolo, i.e. I guess the concept is, with a flame in the back of the oven, you can cook several pizzas at once, without having to keep switching them around. Pi Craft's oven also uses a revolving deck. Kind of like a wood-fired oven, without the wood. Because of this high temperature, we can cook pizza or sandwiches in about 3-6 minutes."Īs I was standing in line, I could see that the oven uses a gas flame at the back of the oven. "Our state of the art revolving stone oven reaches temperatures upward of 1000˚F, while the floor temperature typically ranges between 600˚ to 800˚ F. The oven is an essential part of Pi Craft's formula, and again I'll let Pi Craft speak for itself: I'll leave that to the math majors to determine.Īs you move along in line, to reach the cashier, you can see your pizza being hand-stretched, tossed, and put into Pi Craft's oven. Aside from its having a few digits in common, I have no idea whether or how that relates to the mathematical π, which is roughly equal to 3.1416. You can choose from a 12-inch round pie, or a smaller "Pi size," a 13 x 6 inch oval. The toppings are unique and always fresh giving you thousands of topping combinations to create your own pizza for one price." So that's the concept. With our state of the art revolving pizza oven we can cook our American-Italian inspired fare in about 6 minutes.
In their own words, "Pi Craft is dedicated to making healthy delicious menu items such as hand crafted pizzas, focaccia sandwiches and salads using fresh ingredients, served in a fast casual style.

Maybe s/he figures that the place is full every night, so money is being made despite the noise level-so who cares if people can actually talk to each other? I just don't get it.Pi Craft is aiming to tap into the "fast casual" trend.

I can't understand why the owner doesn't engage a competent architect or other professional to assess what might be done to improve the environment. While some effort appears to have been made with respect to ceiling design, the ongoing cacophony needs to be addressed. While it is certainly true that many people could stand to speak more softly in public places, the problem at Ember is, well, Ember. When I got home, I was practically hoarse, and we had both been frustrated with having to repeat ourselves when our discussion coincided with a crescendo of noise surrounding us. Yesterday evening, I dined there with a friend whom I hadn't seen in some time, so we took our time over our meal in order to talk.
In fact, I have even avoided this place at times because of this issue. However, I must express my ongoing frustration with the absolutely horrible acoustics. I have eaten there on many occasions over the years and have never been disappointed by anything from the kitchen or that bar. In terms of menu, Ember offers interesting and tasty choices, while consistently paying careful attention to presentation and seasonal variations. S.O.S.: Shorts or Suit, come down and enjoy!!!
