Get Fired Up!
Husband-wife team bring brick-oven pizza to you
Looking for a simple pie made from the freshest ingredients? At Fired Pizza, the focus is on authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas from Italy, made in a wood oven with ingredients imported from Italy. “These pizzas are the real deal,” says Daniel Correa, owner of Fired Mobile Pizza.
Every pizza that comes out of the mobile truck is a throwback to the earliest pies made in Italy, made with imported Italian flour. As for the remainder of the ingredients, it’s all about local. “We get our produce from Farmers Markets, the Stockton Flea Market, and pretty much anywhere we can find great quality local produce,” says Daniel. “All of our meats are sourced from Fagundes in Manteca.”
Event preparation begins 72 hours in advance. This is when the dough is made so it has plenty of time to ferment. Then, it’s on to hand mulling the tomatoes for the sauce. High-moisture mozzarella cheese is spread on top before the pizza is finished with a selection of toppings.
A classic Pepperoni Pizza remains the most popular request but Fired also offers several original flavor concepts such as the “Pesto & Potato” a vegetarian pie that even meat eaters can’t get enough of. “This one is my wife’s favorite,” says Daniel. “It’s just Pesto sauce, roasted potatoes and mozzarella cheese, but it’s so flavorful.”
At any event, customers have the option to incorporate an Italian soda bar with a variety of different flavors to add an extra element of fun. For dessert, the team puts that specialty oven to use, with wood-fired s’mores for dessert. For dessert pizza lovers, there’s also the Smokey Pizza, made on a sinful butter crust, with layers of Nutella, marshmallows, caramel, and fudge on top.
For Daniel, Fired is a dream come true. “I come from the wine and beer industry but have always dreamed of starting my own pizza business. I realized this dream could become a reality sooner rather than later when my wife and I visited a winery in Clements and saw a ‘Pizza trailer’ for the first time,” he says.
“You take a risk with any business you start. Not starting out with a brick and mortar restaurant gives us the option to be creative in other outlets like the pizzas we make and the high-quality, local ingredients we get to use. We really enjoy what we do!”
