Boca Raton, Fla. – Steve’s Wood Fired Pizza knows how to keep flames burning with crowds throughout Florida.

“We only use the highest quality and the freshest ingredients at Steve’s Wood Fired Pizza,” said Steven Greenberg, owner of Steve’s Wood Fired Pizza. “We hand roll and stretch our dough and then put the pizza in our wood-fired oven. Our oven helps seal in the flavor of the toppings and gives our guests a crisp pizza.”
Steve’s Wood Fired Pizza uses a wood-fired oven from Italy that produces a dry heat up to 900 degrees, which locks in the rich aromas of oak and cherry wood. The wood gives the crust a smoky flavor and provides a healthier alternative to the traditional way of cooking pizza.
After working in the pizza industry for more than 25 years, New York native Steven Greenberg opened Steve’s Wood Fired Pizza on Oct. 15, 1999 in Boca Raton, Fla.

The restaurant is venturing into franchising its pizzeria concept across the nation this year. Greenberg envisions the concept growing to 50 pizzerias in the next five years.
