Back in 1975, I worked at Pizza Hut, and we had pizza ovens that had with 3 separate ovens, stacked one above the other.
Because it took about an hour to heat the ovens properly, we turned all 3 of them on at opening, and shut them down at night. The top and middle ovens were normally used, but if someone asked for a pizza with anchovies, that was the only time we used the bottom oven. Any pizza cooked with or after an anchovy pizza in the oven tasted like it. After closing, we had to wait until the next morning for the bottom oven to cool and spend about an hour washing it to get the stench out of the oven!

For years I’ve been putting the anchovies on the cooked pizza.
