Drew and I look for places to practice our dancing, and I heard that Flash in the Pans (our very own local steel drum band) was playing in Blue Hill last Monday. Even though it has been cold and drippy, not the best weather for a street dance, this performance was enhanced by the promise of wood fired pizza. Well, that made the decision easy: I had to see how wood fired pizza could be done in the parking lot of the Blue Hill Town Park. Not to mention, I love pizza
We got there early, in time to watch the band set up. It was a well-oiled production:
Flash plays all around the Blue Hill area through the summer, with the proceeds going to various good causes. See their schedule here.
But this piece is about pizza, not music, so here goes.
Katherine Creswell had her pizza oven on wheels set up and a fire burning when we arrived.
Katherine built the oven herself (maybe with some help from friends), hitches it up behind her vehicle and takes it to gigs in the area. Based in East Blue Hill, Katherine says she sets up at the Blue Hill Farmers' Market on Saturday (9am - 11:30am) at the Blue Hill Fairgrounds. She says she will also hire out to private parties: Does that sound like fun or what?
Well, the real question is: How's the pizza?
First let's watch her make it:
And the real action:
Then into the oven:
And here is the result:
Was it tasty? Well, let's just say it went fast and there was none left. It was delish!
Katherine uses all Maine ingredients. Here's the menu:
If I were planning a big party, I'd hire Katherine in a minute. If you want to do the same, you can reach Fire Brick Pizza at KatherineCreswell@gmail.com, 207-841-7877, and see her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/FireBrickPizza

It wasn't too long before they were playing, and they are good. Flash has been playing since 1990, but I'd never heard them before, embarrassing to say. I moved south about that time, so missed it before now.

Katherine the Wood Fired Pizza lady was at Flash in the Pans street dance in Blue Hill again last night. This was her second time, and she says she is going to be a regular. So check her out and buy some pizza the next time Flash plays in Blue Hill. (July 8 and 29th, August 12th and 26th)
