From Wood-fired Ovens to Wood Floors

Punch Pizza — Stadium Village

Using the same centuries-old techniques the Neapolitan masters used to create delicious Italian pies, Minneapolis-based Punch Pizza is one of a few pizzerias outside of Naples, Italy to be a member of Vera Pizza Napoletana. A requirement of authentic Neapolitan pizzerias is that they must use wood-burning, bell-shaped brick ovens that can cook a perfect pizza pie in 90 seconds!
 

To ensure their stores have an old-world Italian feel worthy of the authentic techniques they use to make their pizza, Punch Pizza turns to Manomin Resawn Timbers for antique timber flooring. At Manomin, we too are dedicated to the traditions and skills of our craft — milling the antique timbers with a saw mill, drying it in a kiln, planing it, fabricating it in our shop and then hand-sanding and staining it to the perfect finish. 
 

Featured in all seven of Punch Pizza’s Twin Cities locations, Manomin most recently helped with the Punch Neapolitan Pizza – Stadium Village location at 802 Washington Ave SE in Minneapolis. 

A striking exterior door that we crafted from hand-hewn timber skins invites guest in, and a one-of-a-kind antique wooden door handle completes the look. Upon entry, our huge 22-foot long vintage timber community table greets customers, and a welcoming antique Douglas Fir floor sets the stage with gorgeous 3-inch wide planks. 



More reclaimed Douglas Fir (salvaged from old industrial warehouses) adds charm to tables and benches. Tabletops crafted out of hardwood from a central Wisconsin dairy barn built in the 1850s complements the weathered antique panel wainscoting to add to the old-world dining experience. 
 

So we invite you to enjoy the world’s finest San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and top-secret dough that forms the foundation of a Punch Pizza cooked to perfection in the wood-fired oven! But please, make sure you take a look around and enjoy the whole experience that Manomin helped to create.

Manomin Resawn Timbers is at the “Bring Fresh Ideas Home” Home and Garden Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center February 24th through the 28th. We hope to see you there. We’re in booth 2129.

Show Dates and Hours:
Wed Feb 24 - 12:00pm-9:00pm
Thu Feb 25 - 10:00am-9:00pm
Fri Feb 26 - 9:00am-10:00pm
Sat Feb 27 - 9:00am-10:00pm
Sun Feb 28 - 9:00am-6:00pm

You can get more details about the show at homeandgardenshow.com, but if you go to their “Tips and Trends – Go Green” page, you’ll see in tip number 7, Green Flooring, they’ve left out an important green flooring option: reclaimed wood flooring! Of course we’re biased, but we think wide plank flooring that is milled from reclaimed antique timbers is the best green solution out there!

Reclaimed wood flooring has both environmental and aesthetic benefits, inspiring new and innovative style for homes while also preserving the traditional warmth and durability of natural wood.

The Home and Garden Show highlight, Timber Barn Bungalow, illustrates what a modern, rustic attitude can do for a home. We invite you to stop by booth 2129 and talk to us about the benefits of going green with reclaimed wood flooring. Whether you choose a rustic or contemporary finish, the benefits of a more stable, harder wood with tighter grains are strongly worth considering.

You can also visit Kitchen Conversations to read a blog about our time with Holiday Kitchens discussing the advantages of recycling timber and the phenomenal results that can be achieved. Or stop by our Manomin Resawn Timbers Web site to learn more about the green-friendly antique flooring available.
