The Art of Perfect Pizza
There’s something magical about a perfectly crafted pizza—the way the cheese stretches with each bite, the aromatic blend of fresh herbs, and that satisfying crunch of a handmade crust. At Uncle Monty’s, we believe pizza is more than food; it’s an experience that brings people together.
Since opening our doors, we’ve been committed to one simple mission: creating authentic pizza using time-honored techniques and the freshest ingredients available. Every pie that leaves our kitchen carries the passion and dedication of our team.
“Great pizza isn’t just made—it’s crafted with love, patience, and respect for tradition.”
Fresh Ingredients Matter
We source our ingredients from local farms and trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality. Our tomatoes are vine-ripened, our mozzarella is made fresh daily, and our vegetables are hand-selected each morning.
Our Signature Toppings
What sets our pizza apart is the attention we pay to every single ingredient:
-
San Marzano Tomatoes: Imported from Italy, these tomatoes provide the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity for our signature sauce.
-
Fresh Mozzarella: Made in-house daily, our mozzarella has that perfect pull and creamy texture that elevates every slice.
-
Premium Meats: From pepperoni to Italian sausage, we use only the highest quality, naturally cured meats with no artificial preservatives.
Our Signature Homemade Dough
The foundation of great pizza is great dough, and ours is exceptional. We follow a traditional recipe that requires a minimum 24-hour fermentation process. This slow rise develops complex flavors and creates that perfect chewy texture.
Our pizzaiolos hand-stretch each dough ball to order—no rolling pins, no shortcuts. This technique creates the characteristic bubbles and char marks that pizza lovers crave. It’s labor-intensive, but the difference in taste and texture is undeniable.
The Secret? Time and Patience
While fast food chains rush their dough, we give ours the time it needs. The result is a crust that’s light and airy on the inside, with a perfectly crispy exterior that holds up to even our most loaded pizzas.
The Magic of Wood-Fired Ovens
Our custom-built brick oven reaches temperatures of 800°F, allowing us to cook pizzas in just 90 seconds. This intense heat creates the signature leopard-spotted char on the crust while keeping the toppings perfectly fresh and vibrant.
The wood fire adds another dimension of flavor—a subtle smokiness that you simply can’t replicate in conventional ovens. Each pizza absorbs the essence of the burning oak and cherry wood, creating a taste experience that’s truly unique.
“When you taste that first bite, you’ll understand why we do things the old way. Some traditions exist because nothing else compares.”
