We went to a wood fired pizza place, and they had racks of wood around. I think they thought I was crazy for trying to ID their wood...

I've asked this question too of a trattoria & pizzeria in SE PA. Thought for sure the distinctive smoke of hickory would be a component of their wood, but no. Apparently hickory pops too much which is not good (ash on the customer's pizza, and sparks on workers' arms). So they had a vendor stock with oak and only oak (consistent heat, good coals and no pops). Not sure if others are that particular, but noticed that oak is popular with other wood-fired pizzerias.
