Stanziatos wood fired pizza in the oven

Stanziatos Pizza opened last month at 35 Lake Ave Ext in Danbury, featuring unique wood-fired pizza. CIA trained chef Matt Stanczak told us he decided to open this unique pizza restaurant to offer reasonably priced meals, and given the early word-of-mouth he has succeeded admirably.
Pizza margherita with fresh basil.
Stanczak achieves the unique look and flavor of his pizzas by creating dough that rises slowly over a 3-day period, preparing his own unique tomato sauce, and using fresh mozzarella as one of his main toppings. He rolls out the dough to order,speads the ingredients and slides each pizza onto the stone floor of his wood fired oven. Just before the pizza is done, he uses his pizza peel to lift the pizza up near the dome of the oven to create the "burn marks" characteristic of a wood-fired pizza without actually burning the dough itself. Because of the high oven heat (750° F), the pizzas are done in only about 5 minutes.
Don't be fooled by the facade of this lovely little restaurant. Inside there is a very comfortable dining room set off from the ordering area, where they are licensed to serve wine and beer. All of their pizzas are 12" thin crust pies and are priced from $7.95 to $10.95, but during lunch hour (12-4) all pizzas are $7.00.
Stanziatos also offers 5 salads, a soup of the day, 5 white pizza and 6 red pizzas as well as wood fired chicken wings!
If you are in the Danbury area on a shopping or business visit (or if you live there), be sure to check out this lovely new pizza restaurant. They are open Tuesday through Thursday from 12-8:30, Friday from 12-9:30pm, Saturday 1-9:30pm and Sunday 3-9pm, and closed on Mondays.
