Black Beauty, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
A separate catering operation of Pizzeria Prima Strada, their mobile wood-burning oven, Black Beauty, is available for hire.
Six Hundred Degrees, Tofino, British Columbia, Canada
I found a blog post that mentioned several businesses with wood-burning ovens on (or near) Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Posts like this are valuable to me because the identify several places at once, although they are also something of a burden for the same reason.
A comment in that blog mentioned the 600 Degrees bakery, and provided a link to a story about it.
The story says in part:

The story says in part:
Inside this protusion [an addition to a shake and shingle home], a wood-fired oven roars to life each Thursday and on Friday, beautifully rustic loaves of breads, buns and cinnamon buns, all leavened with sourdough starter, emerge from the brick oven. A couple of restaurants and health food stores snap them up. And in summer, Julie Lomenda, owner of 600 Degrees, bakes up to 100 loaves every week, many of which are sold at the local Farmers’ Market (which opens in May at Village Green, across from the District of Tofino).Apparently they spell out the name of the bakery, so its correct name is Six Hundred Degrees. Their home page is pretty minimal.

The Pizzeria Prima Strada, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, apparently makes Neapolitan pizza, but without the VPN certification.
The blog post says, "Now with two locations, Pizzeria Prima Strada in Victoria is churning out pies at a rate of up to six every two minutes." The blog post goes into substantial detail about Pizzeria Prima Strada.

Wild Fire Organic Bakery and Cafe, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
I found a blog post that mentioned several businesses with wood-burning ovens on (or near) Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

There was a bare mention of Wild Fire Organic Bakery and Cafe, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Their home page says, "Organic Levain Breads Baked in a Wood-Fired Oven."
Pictures of the breads look beautiful. They have an on-line photo album.
I would like to visit someday.

There was a very bare mention of Fol Epi.
All I could find was a mention in the on-line version of Vancouver Magazine:
(The "bare all" looks like a typo, to me. Nude bakers are rather rare.)

All I could find was a mention in the on-line version of Vancouver Magazine:
Artisan baker Cliff Leir moved lock and stock to bare all in his brand-new digs at uber-green Dockside Green. The wheat silo and hand-built wheat grinder are in place and the au natural décor of salvaged fir, brick, and rock is a fitting tribute to the earthy delights on the rise. Boule, baguettes, whole wheat, and pumpernickel are the daily wood-fired breads, while all-butter croissants, organic pain au chocolat and fruit Danish, and morish schneckens—a swirl of pastry with raisins and a slathering of Grand Fir syrup—give reason to wake up in the morning.

One of the ovens that was mentioned was, "the James Barber Memorial Oven at Providence Farm."
Providence Farm has an "Open Group" Facebook page.
Their home page is nice, except there is no search available. I didn't find anything about the oven there.
A Google search for the "James Barber Memorial Oven" turned up a few pages.
Apparently it was installed thanks to some fund raising. Partly it was a matter of moving an existing oven the size of a small cottage 200 kilometers. It sounds like an epic.
One page about the Canadian Chefs' Congress 2010 says, "Wet Saturday and Sunday nights were fueled by endless pizzas coming out of the James Barber Memorial Wood Burning Oven, a legacy presented to Providence Farm by the BC Congress Committee."
A blog post by Chef Jonathan Pulker has a picture of the oven. A different blog post had more information about the party.
There was a picture posted on Flickr as well.
This sounds quite incredible; I would love to see it.

In the summer of 2006, we were fortunate to be approached to build a brick oven and bake at Merridale. We thought for mere seconds and said, "Of course". Now helmed by Alain Boisseau, our resident baker, we use this brick oven for our bread and pastries, apple pies, and special occasion menus. From late spring through early fall, we also make pizza, particularly for our famed Sunday night pizza on the deck.This sounds like a lovely place to visit and a delightful place to eat and drink.

Whistler Wood Fired Pizza Company, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
Apparently some people are reading this blog, and deciding that they ought to be mentioned.
That's fine with me.
I received an e-mail from Korey Klein informing me of the existence of Whistler Wood Fired Pizza Company, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.
I was sent what should have been a link to their home page, but I had to search using Google to find it.
Their home page says in part:
They also have a Facebook page.
A Google search turned up a couple of YouTube videos (one that looked to be in a farmers market and another about a new oven trailer).
I want to thank Korey for e-mailing me. It shows that some people out there are interested in the subject that this blog is dedicated to.

Their home page says in part:
Whistler Wood Fired Pizza is an all-natural product, baked in a "portable" wood fired oven. We can set up in a park, parking lot, or flat lot, as long as we can bring our trailer through.Their home page has a slide show showing a couple of different wood-fired ovens on trailers.

Bellaroma Pizzeria & Ristora, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
The final entry from my correspondent in Canada is Bellaroma Pizzeria & Ristora, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Their site has a gallery page, and the first picture is of their wood-fired oven. Good for them!

Siegel's Bagels, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I asked a friend who had moved to Vancouver if she had been to any of the wood-fired businesses I had identified. She had been to one, and mentioned another two, one being Siegel's Bagels, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Their home page says they have a "25 ton wood burning oven."
No pictures though.

Incendio, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
A blog post caught my eye because it made references to both a brick oven and H.P. Lovecraft.
The blog post says in part, "We found this great pizza place in the Gastown area called Incendio’s. The brick oven looks like something from an H.P. Lovecraft story. But H.P. Lovecraft never made pizza this good! (I assume.)"
Well, there was no link provided, but I did find the home page of Incendio. I am a big fan of Vancouver's Gastown, but it's been a long time since I had time to visit.
