From our unique wood-fired oven and open plan kitchen design to the way we “wow” our guests throughout the dining experience, we are confident you will find that Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza is different than any other pizza concept! A cross between fast-casual and sit down dining but at a fast-casual price point, Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza is one of the originators and innovators of the fast-casual wood-fired pizza concept. At Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza, we make our proprietary dough every day, we roast our own meats, and we even chop our own fresh vegetables. In fact, our food is so fresh we don\'t even have a freezer!We\'ve recently expanded our concept offering by offering a optional self-serve taproom wall where the Guests serve themselves beer, wine and mixed cocktails (where a hard liquor license is available). This truly elevates the Guest experience. A Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza franchise perfectly meets the demand by today’s consumers for freshness of ingredients, speed of preparation, consistent and outstanding quality, and a great dining experience. We cater to both a lunch crowd that has the “need-for-speed” as well as guests that desire a more leisurely dining experience while enjoying a glass or two of beer or wine with dinner.
