Metro Pizza

Pizza ovens in Cape Town face a particular challenge: winter rains and coastal damp affect dough fermentation differently than in inland areas, and wood-fired ovens demand constant attention during load-shedding peaks. Metro Pizza manages the practicalities that define everyday pizza-making in the Mother City—sourcing mozzarella in a market where consistency matters, managing ingredient storage through unpredictable power cuts, and keeping ovens firing when electricity falters. The work isn't romantic; it's about understanding humidity levels, fermentation windows, and the logistics of running a kitchen when grid failures are routine. That operational knowledge separates amateur pizza from something you can rely on night after night.
