The Best Pizza in Montreal - MHA member Frank Giammaria has been making
wood fired pizza for 25 years.



Here is the picture of my bake oven.
Our bakery is going so well.
Last Saturday we sold out 30 pizza at the Saturday evening market.
Of course I baked by wood fire.
Every day my wife Shuko is baking 10kg wheat flour and selling out
in a short time.
We will increase products little by little.
But we will keep making hand made bread.
