Pizza Ovens on Wheels: The Traveling Wood-Burning Pizza Ovens of Veraci Pizza
The original article didn't mention that the location of the new, non-mobile Veraci's will be in a former Domino's store. Talk about an improvement!

Sorry, I got lost in translating... The dim's should read:
- 360mm (14.17") x 135mm (5.31") (diameter x height)
- recommended pie size + 250mm (9.84")

I don't read Japanese but I ran the "Impress Watch" site page through a translating engine. Setting aside the confused idiom I culled the following:
- gas cookstove burner with 15860 BTU is recommended
- the dim's are 360mm (14.17") x 135mm (5.31") x 250mm (9.84") (diameter x height x thickness)
- weight of pizza stone 5kg (11.23 Lbs.)
- suggested cooking temperature is 300º C (572º F) but higher temperatures can be acheived
- preheating time 15 - 20 minutes
- standard cooking time, thin crust pie, 3 - 4 minutes
This does look pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't have a gas stove so I'm SOL. I'd love to hear more about this if someone can get their hands on one!

Check out Inferno Catering at www.infernocatering.com. These guys have an Italian made oven on wheels with a full kitchen da boot.

We were Marshall's first clients for a home oven (May '07), and I have to say, there are few things as fun as having a pizza oven in your back yard. That said - it's a lot of work. We are still more than happy to head to one of the markets to find Veraci for a slice - their pizza is always satisfying, and almost as good as making it at home.

I am going to be looking for this today (I live in Tokyo and you have no idea how hard it is to get a proper pizza). I'll probably put up some pics on my blog once I get it done. Thanks for the heads up :D

I just saw this today on JapanTV. Looks fantastic!
My DH is going to Japan in May & I'm hoping he'll bring one back.
I'll have to find out more info by then, of course.
I also have only electric here, so we'll see. Maybe it can be used in an oven here to improve home made pizza.
The point is, of course, that most folks don't have ovens in Japan.

Doesn't slice/serious eats have a genius grant from the Macarthur Foundation or a nutrition grant from the National Institutes of Health to obtain one of these and conduct a true scientific study on this product? It seems as if Slice would be doing a service to the public health if it had one shipped from Japan, then invited readers to participate in a blinded, controlled study comparing the pizza produced by this product with a control pizza: an identically topped and sized pizza produced by, say, Dom or Mark and had the readers decide. I'll bring the vino.

It's a novel idea, but there are some problems: Jeff's Perfect Pizza Bonanza (http://slice.seriouseats.com/jvpizza/) as well as Heston Blumenthal (In Search of Perfection) showed that 500C and a cooking time of just over a minute is the benchmark to aim for. Furthermore I have my doubts whether a glazed stone-such as the one used in the stovetop oven-can have a high enough thermal capacity to make this oven work at higher temperatures. I would recommend something like a soapstone instead.
