About this Project
Kesté Pizza is a renowned Neapolitan pizzeria in Manhattan’s Financial District. Its menu of classic and inventive Neapolitan pies is baked in two wood-fired Neapolitan brick ovens.
The challenge
The restaurant sits on the ground floor of a mixed residential and office tower, with other high-rise buildings immediately next door. In a block this dense, smoke and cooking odor from a wood-fired chimney have nowhere to disperse before reaching neighbors’ windows. Two ovens burning wood throughout service doubles the load.
The Smoki® solution
Smoki® USA supplied a single Smoke Zapper 300, the largest unit in the series and the one designed for dual-oven arrangements. Both pizza ovens connect into one duct line that runs to the Smoke Zapper 300, which saves ducting material and space compared with treating each oven separately.
The result
There have been no recorded complaints about smoke or odor since the Smoke Zapper 300 was installed.
