Wood-fired (as a menu claim)

A commonly advertised claim that, unlike AVPN's specific forno a legna requirement within its full protected recipe, is in most jurisdictions not independently verified or regulated on its own. A pizzeria may genuinely bake with wood, use wood only for flavouring or finishing, or use the term loosely — the claim alone, outside a formal certification like AVPN's, does not guarantee a specific oven, temperature, or method.

Common misuse

Assuming an advertised 'wood-fired' claim is independently verified or regulated — outside formal certification schemes like AVPN's, it generally is not.
