Prohibition Pizza: A Community-Focused Pizzeria Powered by XLT Ovens

This is what a Prohibition Pizza looks like, made with fresh ingredients and hand shredded cheese, after being bake in an XLT oven.

Prohibition Pizza, located in the heart of High Springs, FL, is redefining what it means to be a community-centered pizzeria.  Owned and operated by Kelly Porter and her family, the pizzeria is built on a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients and a passion for clean eating.  Paired with the power and reliability of XLT conveyor ovens, Prohibition Pizza serves up delicious, handcrafted pizzas that are as healthy as they are flavorful.

From Scratch: A Commitment to Freshness

At Prohibition Pizza, every pizza starts with a family recipe and fresh ingredients.  The dough undergoes a four-day rise for maximum flavor, while the sauce is hand-milled using Stanislaus plump tomatoes. Kelly and her team hand-slice meats, shred cheese, and prepare vegetables fresh daily—nothing prepackaged, nothing frozen.

This attention to detail extends to their toppings and desserts. With over 750 pounds of flour and 16 pounds of fresh basil used weekly, it’s no wonder the tiny pizzeria serves up to 300 pizzas on a busy Friday or Saturday. The result is a menu that’s wholesome, clean, and completely free of additives, providing a healthier option for the local community.
