Gilded Tomato Company

Specialties

«Live Fire» Events… Our wood-​fired mobile ovens are beautiful to behold — their brilliant eye-​catching copper domes and are actually signed by the local Maine artisan who crafted them. «Gilda» and «Gatsby» are architectural marvels — designed to the engineering specs of old-​world European ovens, they possess the efficiency of today’s most modern technology. The 100% organic Terre Blanche clay ovens are perched on teak trailers, and can rotate 360-​degrees allowing us to configure into most spaces. At 1000 degrees, the pizzas are baked until their underside have the telltale «leopard speckling» — in all of an amazing 90-​seconds. Delightful ambiance… The dancing flames and the indescribable hickory wood aroma, draw your friends near, bringing back cozy memories of home and holidays. Our goal is to create an entertaining and memorable experience for you and your guests.

Second-​to-​none Culinary Experience… We offer both savory and dessert pizzas, hand-​crafted one by one, from the finest and freshest ingredients. Our dough is made using a three-​day cold fermentation process, created by an award-​winning master baker and professor at Johnson and Wales University. We top your pizzas with as many local, natural and/​or organic vegetables as feasible — much of it grown here at our farm in Rehoboth, MA.



As you can see, making artisan pizza is a labor of love!

History

Established in 2013.

It all started innocently enough. Father’s Day was approaching and I thought what better way to increase the fun factor at home than by providing my husband, Jon, with the concept and tools to build a simple mud oven. I purchased a book — and I signed him up for a pizza workshop held by world-​renown baker, Ciril Hitz.

Thus, the obsession began. I created a monster.

Next thing I knew, we were headed up to Maine for the Kneading Workshop, and then soon after to the Common Ground Festival in Skowhegan Maine. The seductive smell of wood fired pizza calls to you, so we followed our noses to talk to folks who bake bread and utilize wood-​fired ovens. Jump ahead several months, my husband comes home with a beautiful copper oven. I now have a new career description — owner of the Gilded Tomato Company. We gathered chefs and taste testers (very willing friends), and started creating delicious pizzas, main dishes, vegetables, desserts, baked goodies… and the rest is history, my friends!
