Mozzeria Launches Mobile Pizzeria
Wood-Burning Oven Trolley On Multi-State Tour
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 17 October 2014 - Mozzeria, a pizzeria located in the Mission District since 2011, has launched a Mobile Neapolitan Pizzeria. A wood-burning oven is built into this custom food truck with a self-contained kitchen.
This unique mobile pizzeria resembles the trolley trams that San Francisco is known for. After participating in a number of street festivals and receiving increased catering orders, this mobile pizzeria complements the restaurant’s offerings. With this increased capability, Mozzeria is now able to offer full on and off site catering with a larger wood-burning oven.
Mozzeria built its reputation on its gourmet pizzas. A custom-built Stefan Ferraro oven is the center of focus in their restaurant which uses fresh ingredients including Mozzerella diBufalo imported from Italy’s Campanie Region. Its wood-burning oven goes up to 1,000 degrees cooking pizzas as fast as 90 seconds. "The process only enhances taste of the pizza," says co-owner Melody Stein, "people come back to try out the many different pizzas offered at Mozzeria."
In March 2014, Mozzeria received certification from Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), an organization based in Naples, Italy during a ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada. The AVPN president states that Mozzeria is the first Deaf-owned pizzeria to obtain AVPN certification.
Mozzeria is owned by Melody & Russell Stein, who are Deaf. “The Steins have shown their dedication to great food. They take their pizzas seriously and we recognize that,” says James W. Meisser, President and CEO of Hiawatha National Bank in Glenwood City, WI who arranged funding for the purchase. "As a deaf person myself, I am acutely aware of the communication difficulties faced navigating financial waters. Their success makes me so proud and more committed than ever to provide opportunities for other deaf entrepreneurs to understand their options and to break down barriers."
The mobile pizzeria kicked off in St. Augustine on October 17. This “Mozzeria Mobile Pizzeria Tour” will travel through Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona and California. Tour Sponsors are Deaf-owned or Deaf-centric entities: Convo, H3 Network Media Alliance, Sprint Relay and TCS Associates. Their website, Mozzeria.com will list stops they make in each state and chronicle their journey until it arrives in its new home base in San Francisco.
