London Wood-Fired Pizza in a Brick Oven

Inside a cozy London pizzeria, a traditional brick wood-fired oven emits a warm amber glow as a chef in a flour-dusted apron slides a blistered Neapolitan pizza from a long wooden peel. The leopard-spotted crust rises around bubbling mozzarella, bright tomato sauce, and fresh torn basil; wisps of steam and flour fill the air. Exposed brick walls, shelves of olive oil, garlic and chili, and a chalkboard menu set the scene, while a rain-slick street and a red double-decker bus pass by a nearby window, adding moody London atmosphere to the urban culinary scene.
