Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion with Pizza Oven Built in Dix Hills NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Outdoor-Kitchen-Pavilion-with-Pizza-Oven-Built-in-Dix-Hills-NY3Gappsi completed this Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion with a Pizza Oven in Suffolk County Long Island.

Create your ideal backyard by adding all the conveniences of the indoors.  When you enhance your outdoor living area with a grill, pizza oven, kitchen island, landscape lighting, or outdoor heating you extend the time you can entertain outdoors.

Gone are the days when your friends as well as family leave your outdoor celebration because it’s getting too dark, too cold, or too rainy. When you have an outdoor pavilion with a fireplace and kitchen, your outdoor entertaining can last well into the night. Not only will the fire from the fireplace keep you warm and toasty, but it can also provide a relaxing light source for lighthearted conversation and reminisce of days gone by.

Plus, when you have an outdoor kitchen in your pavilion, you can keep the tasty food cooking throughout the night. Whether it’s burgers on the grill or pizza in your pizza oven, you can cook outdoors in a shaded structure, like a pavilion, no matter the temperature or weather.

Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion

We built this 16 x 24 A-Frame Pavilion in Dix Hills, NY. The Pavilion was a kit purchased through Country Lane Gazebos.  Each pavilion is built to order and completely customizable to your specifications.  Gappsi is a dealer for Country Lane.  They offer the highest quality, Amish-built Gazebo, Pergola, and Pavilion Kits.  Their outdoor structures are made from durable materials, including wood, vinyl, and aluminum, and designed to withstand the elements.

Outdoor-Kitchen-Pavilion-with-Pizza-Oven-Built-in-Dix-Hills-NY2Country Lane has been in the backyard structure business since 1994. Every structure they make comes with a 10-year limited warranty and a complete satisfaction guarantee. Their structures have many different features, color options, and styles to match your home and style preferences. Country Lane Gazebos is a popular choice if you are looking for a stylish and functional outdoor structure to enhance your backyard.

Have The Outdoor Kitchen of Your Dreams

More and more, outdoor areas include a fully functional outdoor kitchen, fireplaces or fire pits, cozy seating, advanced lighting, and heating systems.  Our recent Pavilion installation included veneered columns for each post to sit on, which enhanced the overall design and aesthetics.  We added a kitchen with an island under it.  The island includes a Tan Brown Granite countertop.  This long-lasting natural granite is appropriate for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications including walls, floors, countertops, and other architectural components.  On one side the counter is raised to bar height.  A bi-level countertop invites contrast from a design perspective, which can help you achieve some visual interest in your Gappsi kitchen design. This contrast could be further emphasized by using different countertop materials for the lower and higher portions of the counter.

Fire Magic Outdoor Kitchen Appliances

The outdoor kitchen included appliances made by Fire Magic and a Summit Refrigerator.  Designed and made in the USA.  Fire Magic Grills combines high-tech features, craftsmanship, styling, & performance to create a superior outdoor kitchen.  Their true-width cooking grids offer some of the largest cooking areas by square inch in their size classes, allowing you to cook more food at once. Get a great sear every time with their stainless-steel diamond sear cooking grids, which provide more surface contact for fast and even grilling.

If time is short, then gas power can be used with a 10-minute “up to temperature” performance, or if time is a little less critical, then wood can be used for the fully authentic traditional Italian outdoor cooking experience.

The Fontana family is proud to be synonymous with the only wood-fired oven on the market today that combines the finest old-world Italian craftsmanship with the best that modern technology offers in convenience and refinement.

Smaller ovens can be heated up in 40 minutes, larger ovens could take as long as 2 hours or even more to heat up to the right temperature.
  2. What is the best wood for a wood-fired pizza oven?

  3. Are brick ovens safe?

Italian Clay Bricks In Pizza Ovens Handmade

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Italian Clay Bricks In Pizza Ovens

Italian Clay Bricks In Pizza Ovens have been around for centuries, and for good reason because they produce uniquely spectacular pizzas. It is much more than a pizza oven. Gappsi Brick Ovens open up a wonderfully savory world of open hearth cooking, including meats, fish, vegetables, bread, and even desserts. Crafted with an artisan’s soul, a passion for detail, and unmatched customer service, Gappsi sets the industry standard for performance, practicality, and longevity for Outdoor Ovens.

What Makes Brick Oven Pizzas Special?

Neopolitan-style pizzas are special. The crust is crisp and flecked with tell-tale charred spots, evidence of being baked in an extremely hot oven. The interior of the dough is soft, elastic, tender, and fragrant, and the toppings are cooked to perfection.

Achieving the perfect pizza is not easy! The pizza pros usually use brick ovens that heat from 625ºF – 700ºF.

For perfect pizza, the cook must balance the two so that the dough and the toppings finish cooking at the same time. For that, they need to get the oven temperature right.  The Roman pizzaiolos (pizza bakers) used the high temperature, combined with the thermodynamic properties of the bricks. The vaulted cavity of the brick oven and the thick layer of bricks at the bottom of the oven guarantees even heating of the pizza. Brick ovens are ideal because the crust heats at a high but reasonable temperature giving the toppings enough time to properly cook.  This combination adds to the secret of the perfect pizza.

Italian Clay Bricks In Pizza

Italian Clay Bricks In Pizza Ovens Floors

The clay is one of the most important parts of making the brick and if your clay isn’t of high quality, there’s no way your pizza oven is going to be high quality.  The video below it shows the floor of the pizza oven and how the Artisian makes it using the traditional mixer.  This machine mixes the clay gathered locally in the region of Sorrento Italy.  The Clay is rich soil with volcanic pumice and silicon, a particular characteristic beneath Sorrento’s famed citrus orchards.  An oven base needs to be porous.  The pours help to warm up early and maintain the heat for a long time, releasing this heat evenly.

This is an old manufacturer that has been around for hundreds of years in Italy.  Time and tradition keep with each generation.  as the clay is mixed and poured to make the brick.

A wood mold is placed on top of a platform and the clay is spread by hand.  Simply spreading the clay by hand and not pressing it creates a more spongy finished product.  The bricks can absorb the heat and release the heat slowly. The clay is found locally and has been used for hundreds of years too.  Gappsi Italian Clay Bricks is not a product you can mass produce, the clay is being excavated locally in Sorrento Italy, and poured by hand for your next Italian Pizza Oven Order.

A Real Master Piece and Italian Art In Your Home!

The Amalfi Oven

We design Gappsi Brick Ovens using a machine made in the most traditional way. The techniques used are no longer around or followed by any other manufacturer that makes bricks or pizza ovens. Smoothing out the top surface is what makes the stone denser on the surface. You are talking about something made by hand; a real piece of Italian Art. Here it is!  And it can be YOURS. We prepare each brick in the same way; it is a dying art. To make each stone you literally have to feel the product as you make it. Craftsmen that create these particular bricks have a passion for the trade and understand a very old method of producing a brick oven. Every brick made for a Gappsi customer oven has this much care in producing it!

Wood | Gas Fired Pizza Ovens

The difference between Biscotto di Sorrento and other types of brick materials on the market is that it does not burn the bottom of a pizza, absorbing moisture from the dough.

Gappsi Artisan strictly follows the ancient tradition of manufacturing:

  • Manual extraction of the clay.
  • Mix clay using water, grinders, and mixers
  • Form clay into different molds: bricks or floor bases.
  • Dried for 3 days in molds
  • Dried for 10 days in a stacked position
  • Clay bricks turn light grey after we fire them in the kiln.
  • Dried for 7 more days
  • The natural firing phase.

This involves the continuous burning of wood for seven hours. Then, after four days of baking the bricks are ready and have acquired a natural red color.

The unique flavor of brick oven pizza can cause any foodie to wish that they owned a brick oven of their own. Not only are they useful, but brick ovens also add elegance to any outdoor living area.
