Hawaii Hardwood Parking Lot is Pizza Heaven

For just $12 you can get a full-size wood-fired pizza if you visit Honolulu's Hawaii Hardwood Flooring. No, the wood flooring dealer hasn't branched out and opened a pizza parlor on the side. The pizza is being offered by two HVAC workers who happened to do work at the wood flooring business. Now they have opened Inferno's Wood Fire Pizza in the flooring dealer's parking lot. John Wong and Kyle Okumoto were installing an HVAC system at Hawaii Hardwood Flooring one day, discussing their passion for pizza, when Okumoto decided he was going to fulfill a dream of his and buy a wood-fire pizza oven; they decided they would mount the oven on a trailer so they could tow it around to parties, they recently told Honolulu Magazine. But the owner of Hawaii Hardwood Flooring overheard the duo discussing their pizza plans and invited them to set up shop-just for fun-outside in the parking lot, and today business seems to be booming. Inferno uses locally sourced kiawe wood and mostly local ingredients. For $12 diners get a pizza and a few sodas; the atmosphere is very lax. "We wanted to be reasonable, because this is fun," Wang told the magazine. "It's OK to bring your own beer or whatever and just hang out with friends in our tent."
