At La Baia, we aren’t just making food; we are performing a sort of culinary exorcism. We bring the best Pizza Mortadella straight to the streets of the Columbus metro area because we believe that just because you live in the Midwest, it doesn’t mean you should have to settle for mediocrity.

900-Degree Wood-Fired Perfection Across Central Ohio

Now, this implies that the secret to a perfect meal is something you can’t find in a standard kitchen. Most ovens are timid. They are polite. They cook things slowly and evenly until all the life has been sucked out of the dough. But our custom mobile wood-fired pizza oven is a contained inferno. We stoke it until it reaches 900 degrees—a temperature so violent and unforgiving that it forces the dough to transform in a matter of seconds.

Ninety seconds, to be precise.

That is all it takes for the extreme heat to flash-bake the crust, locking in a smoky, airy texture and creating those beautiful, charred bubbles that serve as a signature of true craftsmanship. Because this blistering heat is built onto a set of wheels, we take this restaurant-quality experience everywhere. You’ll find us parked at your favorite local breweries, from the upscale corners of Dublin and Hilliard down to the working heart of Grove City. We are bringing the fire to you.

Premium Ingredients: Real Mortadella, Pistachios & Stracciatella

But we need to look deeper into the architecture of the flavor itself, because the fire is only the beginning. You cannot build a masterpiece on a foundation of cheap, waxy cheese. This specific pie starts with fresh mozzarella and mozzarellina, melting into the pores of the crust as it survives the wood fire.

The real magic, however, happens in the transition. After the pizza is pulled from the 900-degree heat, while the crust is still exhaling steam, we drape it with thinly sliced, authentic mortadella.

The residual heat makes the meat sweat just enough to release its savory, cured essence. Then, we add the cold, rich, creamy luxury of fresh stracciatella cheese. It’s a study in contrasts—hot and cold, soft and structural. We finish the whole thing with the sharp, earthy crunch of crushed pistachios and a heavy, golden drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a sensory intervention. It’s why people call us the best pizza in Westerville before they’ve even finished their first slice.

Yes. We provide mobile wood-fired pizza catering for everything from high-stakes corporate lunches to intimate backyard weddings across the entire Columbus metro area, including Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Gahanna, and Delaware.

What makes wood-fired pizza different from regular pizza?

The difference is the intensity. Our custom mobile oven cooks at 900 degrees, which is a temperature most home or commercial ovens can only dream of reaching. This extreme heat bakes the authentic Italian crust in roughly 90 seconds, creating a signature smoky flavor and a crispy, airy texture that is physically impossible to replicate in a standard oven.

What exactly is on the Pizza Mortadella?

It is a curated layering of textures. It starts with a hand-stretched authentic Italian crust and fresh mozzarella. After it leaves the 900-degree wood fire, we add fresh sliced mortadella, creamy stracciatella cheese, crushed pistachios, and a finish of extra-virgin olive oil.
