Scott's new oven

 

DAY 10: OCTOBER 10th, 2025 

LOCATION: Scott's New Oven (Flatbush, Brooklyn)

GUEST(S): Robin Rothman, Scott Wiener, Elena, daughter

ORDER: 4 slices of cheese (using fresh mozzarella, low moisture mozzarella, scamorza, grana padano, pecorino), 2 slice of Salami, onion, 1 slice of white pie with cherry tomatoes

REVIEW: 
Dream Case Scenario. When an award-winning pizza expert — who quite literally knows more about pizza than anyone on the planet — invites you over for a tasting during National Pizza Month, you go! That’s exactly what I did when Scott Wiener, founder of Scott’s Pizza Tours and Slice Out Hunger, extended the invite. He was testing out his brand new Ooni Volt 2 oven, and my wife and I got front-row seats as Scott transformed his own kitchen into a world-class pizzeria. We’d call out a pizzeria we love, and Scott would whip up his version on the spot. Within minutes, he’d baked remarkably accurate renditions of pies from John’s of Bleecker, NY Pizza Suprema, and Kesté. He even teamed up with me on a collaborative attempt at a Joe & Pat’s pie — and it was spot on. I was very impressed at how his new electric Ooni oven effortlessly heated up to 800'F without heating up the apartment! An unforgettable night of pizza, stories, and laughter with the pizza master himself. Somebody pinch me!

Robin Rothman, Scott Wiener, Sean Taylor, Elena

1. Robin Rothman and I were running late for our pizza date because our train had to stop due to a sick passenger in the train ahead of us. After 10 minutes of no movement, we de-trained and opted to grab Citibikes. We learned the hard way that when you go beyond the service area of Citibike, the auto assist on the e-bikes stops functioning.

2. In addition to Scott Wiener's Guinness Book of Records pizza box collection, he also has an incredible collection of pizza related items ranging from hats, tshirts, tomatoes, olive oil, and pizza peels.

3. Elena finds ways to use her art skills at her job as an architect.

3. Their daughter is as brilliant as she is adorable. This two year old knows animal noises and the difference between California grown canned tomatoes and D.O.P. Italian tomatoes.
