The oven itself was cast in Italy, and it was assembled in Colorado on a custom-built trailer. The hearth is 43” in diameter, and can cook 75-100 personal-sized pizzas in an hour. The cooking temperature is about 800 degrees, and most pizzas will cook in about 90 seconds, typically needing to be turned once for even cooking.

We burn dry hardwood, usually locally-harvested oak, for a hot fire that produces very little smoke. The oven takes about an hour to come to pizza temperature, and can stay there indefinitely with a steady supply of wood and some TLC. The pizzas are cooked by 3 types of heat: conducted heat from the hearth, convection heat from the hot air in the oven, and radiant heat from the flame. Keeping all 3 types of heat in balance is critical to properly cooked pizza.

More and more people are making wood-fired cooking part of their lives. If you would like a wood-fired oven at your home, we can make that happen.
