Cotogna, San Francisco, California
An entry for an SF Weekly blog reviews Cotogna, San Francisco, California.
The review says in part, "But I found myself thinking over and over again about Cotogna's spit-roast pork, tiny carrots caramelized in the oven with honey, pappardelle with lamb braised in the wood-fired oven."
Another blog had a trip report there; their report says in part, "The space showcases many wide glass windows, exposed woods (everything seems brown in here), and a wood-fired oven (with spare wood surrounding the entrance)."

01/24/2011 Wood Fired Pizza Class, Brooklyn, New York
Most of the time what I see are businesses where you get to eat food prepared in a wood-fired oven, and maybe even watch it get made and cooked.
Here is an opportunity to get some hands-on experience: 01/24 Wood Fired Pizza Class
The description says in part, "This Interactive class will cover Wood-fired cooking in the pizza oven with our friend at Best Pizza. Anthony Falco and Angelo Womack will teach how to do everything and more in the wood fired oven.... This small class will really give you the know how not only to use one, but to build your own wood fired pizza oven, on a trailer, or in your yard!"
Of course, you have to pay the fee and go to Brooklyn Kitchen, but that's not so bad.

Stop 50 Wood Fired Pizzeria, Michigan Shore, Indiana
An on-line column from the Michigan City News Dispatch profiled the Stop 50 Wood Fired Pizzeria.
It describes the history of the Stop 50 including its inspiration and philosophy.
The column says in part, "The community is responding positively to the restaurant. Beginning his fifth year of operation, not only has [founder] Chris [Bardol] received a great response of support from the local community, Stop 50 has gained regional recognition, and has been featured in many newspapers and publications."

Saison, San Francisco, California
Sometimes the clues to finding a business with a brick oven are easy to overlook.
My Google Alert brought my attention to a Easter SF food blog about a place called Dcantr.
Buried in the piece was this line, "I was too busy savoring winning items from the brief but show-stopping-good menu, like ... a braised Petaluma chicken leg cooked with podi spices in Saison’s outdoor wood-fired oven."
So, it's not Dcantr that has the oven, but Saison. It does not look like a place for casual dining....

Alder Wood Bistro, Sequim, Washington
The Alder Wood Bistro is a bistro with a wood-fired oven located in the small town of Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State.
I have visited it, but not eaten there. (I found it after I had already eaten on the last day of my last visit to Sequim.)
Their home page says in part, "handcrafted wood-fired cuisine from the hearth of Sequim."

Steve's Wood Fired Pizza, Boca Raton, Florida
I was just chasing some links when I found a link for Steve's Wood Fired Pizza, Boca Raton, Florida.
The web site doesn't have a current copyright date, so I don't know if the business is still operating or not.
There does seem to be some activity on the restaurant rating sites (like this yelp listing).

Inferno's Wood Fire Pizza, Honolulu, Hawaii
I guess if I were to be focused only on wood-fired pizza places, then checking pizza blogs would be a good strategy. That is not by focus, but this pizza blog entry came to my attention.
The blog describes Inferno's Wood Fire Pizza, Honolulu, Hawaii, and embeds a YouTube video.
The review says in part, "The odor of fresh pizza being cooked in an outdoor wood fired oven is unmistakenable. There under a tent, in the corner of a parking lot, you will discover an amazing pizza operation.
...This is a portable pizza operation. A traveling pizza circus. Complete with all that you would expect and demand of great pizza. And if you are looking for wonderful pizza, you just found it."

Matera Caffe, Franklin, Ohio
The on-line version of the Oxford Press (in Ohio) has a review of Matera Caffe, in Franklin, Ohio.
The review says in part, "Pizzas are another specialty, and a large wood-fired pizza oven takes up much of the kitchen area. Diners can watch as their dough is rolled out, and then topped and baked, and while the choices are extensive, the Giardiniera is a must for veggie lovers."
