This Groovy Pizzeria Has Its Own Spinning Disco Ball Oven

Wood-fired pizza is absolutely a slice above the 30-minutes-or-less variety that gets delivered to your door, and it’s pretty common for restaurants that employ the process to make the massive, rustic ovens the visual centrepiece of the room, so folks dining-in can see their pies emerge.

The rest of the decor in Disco Volante — translated literally as “flying disc,” and also the name of Thunderball villain Emilio Largo’s hydrofoil yacht — is minimal and clean-lined, making the massive mirrored glass orb even more of an eye-catching attraction.

The structure is made from heat-resistant concrete, and once the dough is loaded in, the whole thing turns at about a revolution per minute (no word on whether the joint’s soundtrack is equally retro-nostalgic). Here’s hoping that whoever has to polish the 7500 reflective tiles gets paid overtime. [Ignant]
