When building the perfect pizza from scratch — as we do daily — it’s essential to start with intention, care, and high-quality ingredients. At Elemental Pizza, every element is selected with purpose, from the handcrafted dough to the farm-fresh veggies and sustainably sourced meats.
Looking for wood fired pizza in Seattle that goes above and beyond? Here’s how we build every pizza from the ground up.
The 6 Elements of a Perfect Made-From-Scratch Pizza
1. Handcrafted Dough
We craft our dough in-house with the simple ingredients of flour, yeast, salt and water.
We let it ferment naturally over a few days, building flavor and achieving the perfect balance of chewiness and crispness once it hits our high-heat oven.
2. House-Made Sauces
Whether it’s our classic tomato sauce or garlic oil, or a special sauce like our BBQ, curry sauce, or pesto cream, we take pride in the fact that they are made in house!
That means the ingredients have to meet our standards for freshness and flavor, and our process for crafting these delicious sauces is followed to the letter.
3. Sustainably Sourced Meat
You’ve probably heard us highlight our vendor relationship with Zoe’s Meats, but let us just mention again how important it is for us to top our pizza’s with the finest charcuterie and meat.
We’re so glad that Zoe’s has a commitment to sustainability, keeping us stocked with environment-friendly and nitrate-free product.
4. Farm-Fresh Veggies
We use only the freshest vegetables—from roasted mushrooms and sweet peppers to spicy arugula and tender rapini.
If it doesn’t meet our high standards for quality and flavor, it doesn’t go on your pizza.
5. The Special Touch: Cheese
It’s the ingredient that ties everything together once it gets all melty and gooey, so the cheese is so important to the quality of the pizza we put before you.
Our mozzarella is oh-so-fresh! And our other cheeses are selected for the best possible combination with the other toppings on your made-from-scratch pizza.
6. Fired to Perfection
Our pizzas are baked in a wood fired oven, reaching temperatures above 800°F. That quick, high-heat process gives each pie its signature crust, texture, and lightly charred flavor — a trademark of the best wood fired pizza Seattle has to offer.
