A 16 inch cordierite stone sits on a motorized carousel and rotates under two burners, an infrared burner below the stone and a U shaped burner across the back, so every edge of the crust sees the same heat and the one thing that ruins most first pizzas, a missed turn, is designed out. The chamber reaches up to 950°F and is ready in about 12 minutes, a 16 inch pizza cooks in under 5, and the whole oven weighs 44 lb, runs on a 20 lb tank or a 1 lb cylinder, and lifts into a car. Crustify is an authorized Halo dealer, and the Versa 16 ships by parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry it as the first oven we recommend. Most entry ovens ask a beginner to learn launching, turning and timing on the same night, and turning is where the pizzas die; the Versa 16 takes that one off the list, and the infrared burner under the stone recharges the floor between pizzas so the fourth cooks like the first. This page covers the rotating stone and why it stays on, the two burners, propane and the natural gas kit, how it is built, where it can sit under Halo's own clearance rules, the first cook and the care, how it compares to the other gas ovens we sell, and the Halo accessories we list for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hv-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hv-glance-title\"\u003eHalo Versa 16 at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel HZ-1004-ANA; propane, 20 lb tank or 1 lb cylinder with both regulators in the box; Halo natural gas conversion kit sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat: dual burners, 21,100 BTU total, 11,500 BTU infrared under the stone and 9,600 BTU U shaped back burner; up to 950°F, about 750°F on the stone; ready in about 12 minutes; 16 inch pizza in under 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: 16 inch round cordierite, 1\/2 inch thick, double sided, on a motorized turntable; rotation runs the whole cook and pauses to launch and retrieve\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower: motor on the included AC adapter or two D batteries, about 36 hours a set; push button igniter on one AA; batteries not included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild: high temperature powder coated steel and 430 stainless; hinged hood with latching straps; hood gauge; 22.44 wide by 24.59 deep by 14.84 inches tall; 43.54 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace: outdoors on a level non combustible surface or Halo's cart; Halo's manual asks for 10 feet from any structure, combustible or gas cylinder and 25 feet from flammable liquids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty: 5 years on the firebox, burners, stone, tray and knob; 1 year electrical and paint; US and Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice is shown above.

In a dome or a box oven the flame is at the back or along one wall, the crust nearest it cooks first, and the cook turns the pizza with a peel every 20 or 30 seconds to even it out; miss one turn and you get a black crescent on an otherwise good pizza. The Versa 16 does the turning in the oven. The 16 inch cordierite stone sits in a tray on a motor driven turntable and revolves under the burners for the whole bake, so the back burner's heat reaches every edge in turn and the infrared burner below keeps the floor even. Cordierite is the material because it holds heat and gives it straight into the base of the crust, which is where the leopard spotting and the crisp underside come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-rotating-pizza-stone.webp?v=1787182321\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 diagram showing the 16 inch rotating pizza stone, dual burner system, hinged lid and quick disconnect propane fitting\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor runs on the AC adapter in the box or on two D batteries, about 36 hours a set by Halo's figure, so it works at the tailgate as well as the patio. The stone is double sided; Halo suggests keeping one face for pizza and the other for everything else so the dough does not pick up last week's dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hv-h3\"\u003eWhy the rotation stays on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-hinged-lid-open.webp?v=1787737045\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 pizza oven hinged lid open showing the rotating cordierite stone in its tray\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotation is not a convenience you can skip. The infrared burner heats the stone from one spot below, and a stone that sits still over it heats unevenly and can crack; Halo's manual says the turntable must be on while the oven preheats and warns against running the oven with it off. The button on the motor is a pause, and the manual tells you exactly when to use it: stop the stone to launch so the dough does not fold on a moving floor, start it again, stop it to pull the pizza. Rotation on for the preheat and the bake, paused for the two seconds a peel is in the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eTwo Burners: Infrared Below, a U Burner Above\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-heat-tech-cutaway.webp?v=1787737686\" alt=\"Cutaway diagram of the Halo Versa 16 showing the U shaped back burner, the infrared bottom burner and the rotating cordierite stone\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalo's dual burner system is rated at 21,100 BTU: an 11,500 BTU infrared burner under the stone tray that drives heat up through the cordierite into the crust, and a 9,600 BTU U shaped burner across the back of the chamber that does the cheese and the toppings from above. Together they bring the chamber to a rated 950°F with the stone around 750°F, in about 12 minutes from lighting, which is quicker to cooking ready than most of the full size ovens we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-dual-burner-design.webp?v=1787738436\" alt=\"Dual burner design inside the Halo Versa 16 with the infrared bottom burner under the stone tray\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burner under the stone is the answer to pizza number four. A stone that coasts on stored heat loses some to every pizza and stalls by the third; a stone heated from below recovers in a couple of minutes while you stretch the next one, so a table of six gets fed at the same pace from first to last. Halo's routine for a cooler stone is the opposite trick: turn the knob to Low and wait ten minutes, and the floor drops gently to where a thicker crust or a pan wants it.

Halo's lighting order matters on this oven: open the cylinder valve fully first, then turn the knob to High, wait three seconds for gas to reach the burners, and press the igniter until both burners are lit; the regulator reads negative pressure if you turn the knob before the valve is open and the burners will not light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-pizza-oven-burners-lit.webp?v=1787738169\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 outdoor pizza oven with both burners lit and the 16 inch cordierite stone\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good flame is blue with a little yellow at the tips; check it before every cook by lighting and turning from High to Low and watching it shrink.

The 20 lb regulator is adjustable, 11 inches of water column for normal cooking and a 9.5 inch setting that takes the whole range down a notch for lower temperature work. At 21,100 BTU a 20 lb tank is roughly 20 hours at full output, and a real session uses less once the chamber is hot. Leak test with soapy water at every connection after every tank change, never run a cylinder upside down, and keep the hose off the hot shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-natural-gas-conversion.webp?v=1787737407\" alt=\"Connecting the natural gas conversion fitting on the Halo Versa 16 pizza oven\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a patio with a gas stub, Halo makes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-natural-gas-conversion-kit-for-versa-16\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003enatural gas conversion kit for the Versa 16\u003c\/a\u003e, HZ-3001-A, with a 10 foot quick disconnect hose, the orifices and the tools, and we list it. Two cautions from the dealer side: the infrared burner's gas line sits tight against the front of the oven and owners say the swap wants longer wrenches than the ones in the kit, and natural gas carries less energy per volume than propane, so owners who convert report a lower peak than the propane rating. If 950°F is the reason you are buying, cook on propane; if never running out of gas is the reason, the kit is the answer, and a licensed installer makes the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eHow It Is Built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-steel-construction.webp?v=1787737784\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 high temperature powder coated steel and 430 stainless steel construction\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is high temperature powder coated steel with 430 stainless on the wear surfaces, 43.54 lb assembled, on four legs that bolt on with eight M6 screws. The hood hinges open on the whole chamber for loading the stone, cleaning and anything that is not pizza, and it closes with a latching strap on each side; Halo's rule is lid closed and straps latched before lighting. A gauge in the hood reads the chamber. Below the stone tray a clean out tray catches what falls through, and it slides out. There is no chimney and nothing to cure: assembly is the legs, the knob, the motor on four screws, the clean out tray and the stone, about ten minutes with the hardware in the box, and then the first preheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eWhere It Sits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-dimensions.webp?v=1787737982\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 pizza oven dimensions 22.44 by 24.59 by 14.84 inches on an outdoor table\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Versa 16 is a countertop oven, 22.44 inches wide, 24.59 deep and 14.84 tall, on a level surface that can take the heat: an outdoor kitchen counter, a solid table, or Halo's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-countertop-cart\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecountertop cart\u003c\/a\u003e, which makes it freestanding and puts the tank and the peel in the drawer below. The feet are 17 1\/4 inches apart at the front and 15 at the back. Outdoors only, never in a garage or under a roof that encloses it, and never unattended. Halo's manual states the clearances the way CSA writes them: never within 10 feet of any structure, combustible material or other gas cylinder, and never within 25 feet of flammable liquids. Halo's own photos show the oven on a balcony; our advice is to read that page of the manual before you plan the spot, and to send us a photo if you are unsure.

Then the routine: rotation on, cylinder open, knob to High, igniter, 12 minutes with the hood closed. Flour the peel, build the pizza on it, shake it to be sure it slides, pause the stone, launch, restart the stone, close the hood, and open it at four minutes to look rather than every thirty seconds. Pause the stone again to pull it. Thin crust at full heat is under five minutes; a thicker pie or a pan wants the Low and wait trick. Halo's cooling tip is worth knowing for a tailgate: open the hood all the way with gloves on and the shell is cool enough to carry in about 15 minutes, with the stone the part that stays hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eCooking and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-balcony-cooking.webp?v=1787738274\" alt=\"Cooking on the Halo Versa 16 pizza oven outdoors with the hood open\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast pizza, the hinged hood and the rotating stone make a small roasting oven: wings, a tray of vegetables, flatbread, a skillet that turns under the back burner and browns like a broiler. Halo's guidance is that cookware 12 inches and under with handles fits, that most of what you make in the kitchen oven you can make here in a fraction of the time, and that casseroles and bakes want two sheets of foil over the pan so the top burner does not scorch them. Thaw dense frozen food first; a frozen pizza is fine.

Let the stone cool completely, scrape it with a nylon scraper or spatula, soak it in clear hot water only if something is baked on, rinse and dry it; no soap, no dishwasher, because the seasoning holds the soap and the next crust tastes of it, and no cold water on a hot stone, which is how cordierite cracks. A darkening stone is a stone working properly. Empty the clean out tray, wipe the inside of the hood, check the hose for cuts before each use, cover the burners with foil for storage, and store the oven indoors with the cylinder disconnected and left outside.

No mismatched grill tools pressed into pizza duty, no hunting for a peel that actually fits a 16 inch pie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece here answers a specific moment in pizza night. The bamboo boards where the pie gets built, the thin stainless blade that slips under a finished crust, the tongs that reach into a hot oven, and the mezzaluna that cuts a whole pizza in a few rocking strokes. It is the difference between owning a pizza oven and running one smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOne Handle, Three Peels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit's smartest engineering hides in plain sight: the stainless slice server doubles as the handle for all three peels. Click it onto the 14 inch bamboo board for personal pies, the 16 inch bamboo for full-size prep and launch, or the stainless peel for retrieval, then use it on its own to serve slices at the table. One handle, four jobs, and a kit that stores compact because it is not carrying three redundant handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Right Peel for Each Job\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two bamboo peels pull triple duty. They are cutting boards during prep, launch surfaces when you build the pizza directly on the wood and slide it onto the stone, and serving boards when the pie comes off. Dough releases from bamboo more forgivingly than from metal, which is exactly what you want while you are still mastering the launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16 inch stainless peel is the retrieval specialist. Its thin blade slides between crust and cordierite stone to separate a finished pizza cleanly, and it launches just as well once your dough skills catch up to your appetite. Between the three, every pie size the Versa 16 can cook has a matched surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTongs and a Cutter Built for Pizza, Not Borrowed From the Grill\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless tongs are pizza-specific by design: one end slides flat under the pie while the other grips the crust, so you can rotate, check, or rescue a pizza deep in a hot oven without gouging the toppings. They handle bread, wings, and anything else you run through the oven too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mezzaluna cutter is the half-moon blade pizzerias actually use. A few rocking strokes cut clean through a whole pie, wheel-drag and topping smear eliminated, whether you are slicing a thin New York round or a Detroit style pan pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eIt Lives in the Cart Drawer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Versa 16 sits on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-countertop-cart\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHalo Countertop Cart\u003c\/a\u003e, this kit has a home already built for it: the cart's hidden drop-down drawer is sized to hold the Cook + Serve pieces. Tools stay with the oven, the drawer drops open mid-cook for whatever you need, and pizza night stops involving a supply run to the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCare That Keeps It Working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash the pieces with mild soap and warm water. Dry the bamboo boards promptly instead of letting them soak, and rub in a little food-safe mineral oil now and then, the same habit that keeps any good cutting board from drying out. The stainless pieces ask for nothing more than a wash and a dry towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWho Should Buy It, and Who Can Skip It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it with the oven if you are starting from zero on pizza tools, because the Versa 16 is only as smooth as the gear around it, and this kit covers the entire workflow in one box at a better price than assembling the pieces separately. Buy it as the upgrade if you have been launching pizzas off a cookie sheet and cutting them with a chef's knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip it if you already own quality peels and a cutter you love; nothing here requires replacing gear that works. And know what is deliberately absent: there is no turning peel, because the Versa 16's rotating stone turns the pizza for you. That is not a gap in the kit, it is the oven doing that job itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBuying From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrustify Pizza Ovens is an authorized Halo dealer, so the kit you buy here is the genuine HZ-3022 with Halo's full 1-year warranty behind it.

Soap is wrong, water is mostly wrong, and the kitchen sponge never stood a chance. What a stone needs is a proper scrape, a stiff brush, and somewhere for the mess to go, which is exactly what this kit is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalo built it specifically for the Versa 16, and it shows in the one place a generic stone brush never fits: the ash pan's concave edge is contoured to sit flush against the round 16 inch stone, so everything you scrape and sweep goes into the pan instead of into the burner wells below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eA Dual-Action Brush That Earns Both Halves of Its Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scraper brush leads with durable nylon bristles that lift ash, flour char, and loose debris off the stone's surface. For the stubborn stuff, melted cheese that carbonized, a sauce spill from an over-ambitious launch, the removable nylon scraper tip breaks baked-on residue free without gouging the stone the way a metal blade can. Bristles for the sweep, scraper for the spots, one tool for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eThe Pan Is the Clever Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny brush can push debris around; the question is where it lands. This pan's contoured edge nests against the stone so the sweep line has nowhere to leak, and its low profile slips under the debris path for fast, one-pass collection. Scrape, sweep, lift, dump. The stone is clean, the oven floor stayed clean, and pizza night's last chore took a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eCold Stone Only, and Why That Is the Right Way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is made for use on a cold stone only, and that rule is worth understanding rather than just following. The nylon that makes these tools gentle on cordierite is not built for a surface that was recently at baking temperature, and neither are your hands. Let the oven cool after the cook, then clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cold-stone habit pairs with the golden rule of stone care: no soap, ever. Cordierite is porous and absorbs what touches it, so detergent becomes next week's off-flavor. Dry cleaning with a scrape and a brush is not the compromise method, it is the correct one, which is why a purpose-built kit beats improvising with kitchen gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eStorage Details That Show Somebody Thought About It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pan carries a built-in clip that secures the brush, the two pieces nest together, and the brush has a nylon hanging loop.

Buy it up front if you would rather have the right tool in the drawer before the first stubborn spot appears, and buy it as the fix if you have been going at your stone with a grill brush and hoping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip it if you already own a stone brush and scraper you trust; the cleaning method matters more than the logo on the handle.

A Lume Largo pizza oven holds it in six hundred pounds of masonry, and the pizza floor stays at temperature for hours because of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Lume Largo pizza oven ships free because it clears our $750 free shipping threshold on its own; the only delivery charge is the $95 liftgate fee every freight oven carries at checkout. This is a wood only oven, and it burns roughly four to six pounds of split hardwood an hour at cooking temperature. Oak, hickory, or maple dried under cover for six to twelve months will take this low dome past pizza temperature in about forty five minutes.

The Lume Largo and the Pizzaioli share the same dome: 39 inches wide, 39 deep, and 26 tall on the outside, with a 33 by 33 inch cooking floor and 15 inches of headroom inside. Both carry the 19.7 by 10.6 inch door that drops down on its hinge, both have the wide low mouth that sends flame across the floor rather than up over it, and both are built for the same job, which is the fastest pizza floor in the APO range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight, insulation, chimney, base slab, curing schedule, and cover fit are identical on the Pizzaioli Premium and the Lume Largo Premium. If you have read our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli page\u003c\/a\u003e, you already know how the Lume Largo pizza oven cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changes is the front. On the Pizzaioli Premium the arch is a band of terracotta brick set into a white render dome. On the Lume Largo pizza oven, APO builds the front as a square cornered block of gray cast stone, laid in a brick pattern, with the arched opening in the middle of it. The thermometer sits in the stone at the left of the door, the black door reads as one piece with the gray, and the white dome rises behind the block on the Premium. It is the low dome APO oven that belongs in a gray and black outdoor kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast stone front is part of the oven, not a veneer glued on after. Because it is cast rather than laid brick by brick, the pattern is consistent from one Lume Largo brick pizza oven to the next, and the Premium sits in price with the Pizzaioli Premium and the Buena Ventura rather than with the fully clad finishes. The Tudo is the exception, and it gets its own section below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Premium, the white dome is a real advantage. APO's render takes high heat paint and thin set tile once the oven is cured and has been fired for a few weeks, so a Lume Largo pizza oven can be finished to match a house color, a countertop, or a mosaic, with the gray front left as it comes. Most owners leave it white; the contrast between a white dome and a gray stone front is most of what makes the Premium photograph so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Lume Largo Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes, one dome, one Lume Largo pizza oven.

It is the Lume Largo pizza oven most people picture: the square block of stone, the low arch, the black door with its window and vents, and the white dome behind, with the stainless spout and its damper handle rising off the top. The stone tones run from light gray to charcoal with pale mortar lines between them, so it sits well against dark tile, concrete, stainless, and modern block, and it does not fight a warmer brick or timber setting either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the dome is white render, the Premium is also the one to choose if you plan to paint or tile the dome later, or if you want the lighter oven to lift. It is stocked in Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"llg-h3\"\u003eLume Largo Tudo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-tudo-front-angle-full-cast-stone-dome.webp?v=1789994657\" alt=\"Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven with gray cast stone brick pattern cladding over the full low dome, viewing window door, and stainless chimney spout\" width=\"800\" height=\"586\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTudo is Portuguese for everything, and that is what the Tudo finish is: the same gray cast stone, in the same brick pattern, carried from the front block over the whole dome to the back. There is no white render showing anywhere. The Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven grows to 43 inches wide and 43 deep with the cladding, and to about 1,800 pounds, which puts it in the same weight class as the Rustic Pizzaioli and the Lume Alto Tudo, and it is priced with them rather than with the Premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for that is a finished oven from every angle. Set it on an island, on a lakeside counter as in the first photo, or anywhere it can be seen from the side or behind, and the Tudo reads as a stone pizza oven, not a stone front on a white dome. It is built to order at about 12 weeks.

The Lume Largo pizza oven is the low dome, the Pizzaioli shape, 26 inches high with 15 inches of headroom and a wide 19.7 by 10.6 inch door that drops down. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e is the same gray cast stone on the tall dome, the Lisboa shape, 31 inches high with 19 inches of headroom and a narrow Dutch door. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuena Ventura\u003c\/a\u003e is the low dome in Sierra or Preto stacked stone. The Lume Largo is the low dome in gray cast stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low dome is the pizza shape, and APO says so about the Pizzaioli line without hedging. With 15 inches of headroom, the flame from a fire pushed to one side has nowhere to go but across the ceiling and straight back down onto the floor, so the top of a pizza colors in the same seconds as the base. There is no lifting the peel toward the dome at the end, no waiting for the rim while the bottom is done. A low dome pizza oven bakes both sides at once, and it does it a little faster and on a little less wood than its tall sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cost of that geometry is headroom. A whole chicken standing on a spit, a tall Dutch oven, a rack of bread pans stacked two high: those want the 19 inches of the Lume Alto. A chicken spatchcocked flat, a leg of lamb in a pan, a tray of vegetables, a round loaf, a cast iron skillet: those fit under 15 inches with room to spare, and the Lume Largo pizza oven does all of them on its retained heat after the pizzas are done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the roast dinner on a spit is the point, buy the Lume Alto. If pizza is the point and roasting is the bonus, this is the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop down door is the other half of it. One cast aluminum door, hinged at the bottom, with a latch at each top corner, a tempered viewing window in the middle, and a row of air vents below it. Unlatch it and it swings down flat in front of the mouth, which is the widest opening in the APO traditional range at 19.7 inches, and a long peel goes in and out of a Lume Largo pizza oven without touching the sides. Close it and the vents feed the fire while the window lets you watch a loaf without opening anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the door is one piece, there is no half open setting the way there is on the tall dome's Dutch door. Owners of a Lume Largo pizza oven run it two ways instead: door down and off for pizza service, with the fire live and the mouth wide open, then door up and latched for roasting and bread, with the coals raked to the back and the vents doing the drafting. It is a simpler rhythm than the tall dome's, and for a pizza night for twelve it is the faster one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"llg-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDome\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDoor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFacade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLume Largo Premium (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow, Pizzaioli shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray cast stone front block, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLume Largo Tudo (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow, Pizzaioli shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 W x 26 H x 43 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray cast stone over the full dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerracotta brick arch, white dome, or full brick and stone finishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuena Ventura\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast stacked stone, Sierra or Preto, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall, Lisboa shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 31 H x 39 D (43 x 43 Tudo)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 x 31 floor, 19 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 12 Dutch door, splits top and bottom, spit port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray cast stone front block, white dome, or full Tudo cladding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"llg-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"llg-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLume Largo Premium (this page)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow Pizzaioli shape, 39 W x 26 H x 39 D. 33 x 33 floor with 15 inches of headroom. 19.7 x 10.6 door that drops down.

The inside is fire brick rated above 1,200°C, set in refractory mortar rated above 1,500°C, laid up as a 50 to 60 millimeter wall on a 3.15 inch reinforced concrete slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the brick goes 50 to 80 millimeters of Rockwool at 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, held in place with 18 to 20 gauge steel mesh. Over the Rockwool goes 30 to 50 millimeters of calcium aluminate refractory cement with chamotte aggregate, rated at 25 megapascals. The cast stone and, on the Premium, the white render of the Lume Largo pizza oven sit on top of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat mass is why a Portuguese brick pizza oven behaves nothing like a steel countertop oven. Steel ovens heat in fifteen minutes and lose their floor heat after two or three pizzas. The Lume Largo pizza oven takes about forty five minutes to an hour to come up on dry hardwood, but APO's own spec calls for it to hold above 350°C for four hours after peak with the door shut, and the Tudo, with an extra 500 pounds of stone wrapped around it, holds a little longer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire brick rated above 1,200°C and a cast aluminum door alloy rated above 230 megapascals mean the hot parts of a Lume Largo pizza oven are built for the temperatures involved, not just tolerant of them. The low dome also means there is less air to heat and less ceiling to bring to color, which is why this shape comes up a little faster than the tall one on the same fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-margherita-pizza-wood-fire.webp?v=1789994834\" alt=\"Margherita pizza baking beside the wood fire on the brick floor of a Lume Largo pizza oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"386\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza, the target is a floor between 370 and 450°C, roughly 700 to 850°F, with a live flame rolling across the low ceiling as above. At that point a 12 inch Neapolitan style pizza is done in 60 to 90 seconds, the 33 inch floor of the Lume Largo pizza oven takes two at a time with room to turn them, and a steady hand can turn out better than thirty an hour with the door down and out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before your first cook in a Lume Largo pizza oven. First, the dial thermometer in the stone reads the air near the door and lags the floor by a wide margin during the heat up, so wait until the soot on the dome burns off to a clean white before you launch, whatever the dial says. Second, the low dome browns the top of a pizza as fast as the base, so the only move you need is the quarter turn: pull the pizza to the mouth on the peel, spin it, and slide it back beside the fire. Three turns and it is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDone right, the result is a rim that is puffed and leopard spotted, a base that is dry and crisp, and mozzarella that is melted rather than browned. That is what a 33 inch fire brick floor at 400°C does to a well proofed dough in about 75 seconds. The floor of a Lume Largo pizza oven recovers between pizzas faster than the dial suggests, so keep launching; the brick has more heat in it than the air does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, the stored heat is the point. Rake the coals to the back, latch the door, and the Lume Largo pizza oven settles into a long, even fall from roasting heat to baking heat to slow cooking heat over the rest of the day. A spatchcocked chicken in the ceramic dish takes about forty minutes once the flame has died to coals; a leg of lamb in a pan longer; then round loaves and pizza bread at 250°C, and a pot of beans or a brisket overnight with the door shut and the damper closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included 10 by 14.5 inch Portuguese ceramic dish is sized for exactly this kind of cooking, whole fish over onions, a tray of vegetables, a casserole. A bag of seasoned hardwood a week is plenty for a family that cooks in the oven two or three times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003ePlacement, Base, and Chimney\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lume Largo pizza oven arrives fully built on its own 3.15 inch concrete slab; what you build is the base. The Premium's footprint is 39 by 39 inches at about 1,250 pounds; the Tudo's cladding runs 43 by 43 at about 1,800, though the slab under it is still 39 inches and overhangs a 39 inch top just fine. Either way the base is masonry or a poured slab rated for the weight, never a wood deck without engineering. The owner below built a fieldstone base with a granite top, the right way to get a brick oven into a garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-tudo-fieldstone-base-backyard-outdoor-kitchen.webp?v=1789994899\" alt=\"Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven built onto a fieldstone base with a granite counter in a fenced backyard\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO's standard recommendation for the Lume Largo pizza oven is a U shaped block base five courses high, open at the front for wood storage, with a solid top the full size of the oven's slab. The fieldstone base above is a textbook version of it, faced in stone to match the garden wall, with the wood bay under the oven and a granite counter run out to one side for a landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Lume Largo pizza oven has four steel lifting loops cast into the corners of its slab, and the way it gets onto the base is an engine hoist, a small telehandler, or a rented mini crane, with straps through the four loops. Four strong friends will not do it, and on the Tudo eight will not. Plan the lift before delivery day, because the freight carrier drops the crate at the curb and does not carry it into the yard. Once the oven is set the loops can be cut off flush, or left as the owner above did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Lume Largo pizza oven is a 5.5 inch stainless spout, 6 inches tall, with a built in damper on a rod. On its own it clears smoke over your head in an open patio, and because the low dome puts the spout at about 26 inches, the extension matters more here than on the tall ovens. Under a roof, a pergola, or against a wall you will want the stainless \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e, in 12 or 38 inches, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney cap\u003c\/a\u003e with its spark screen, sold separately and not returnable, which lift the outlet above the structure and keep rain out of the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder a solid roof the extension is not enough, and the answer is a double wall stove pipe from the spout up through the ceiling, with a flashing kit and a cap at the roof. That is owner work, not an APO part, and it is the setup for any Lume Largo pizza oven that lives under a roof rather than beside one. The pipe needs the same clearances a wood stove flue does, and a good stove installer will do it in a morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearances to combustibles from the maker are 2 inches at the sides of the dome, 16 inches above it, 30 inches around the flue, 28 inches around the vent bricks, and 47 inches of non combustible floor in front of the door. The cast stone front of a Lume Largo pizza oven gets warm, not hot, but the chimney and the mouth do, and a door that drops down flat means the landing in front is in use every time you cook. The maker's drawing of those figures: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-minimum-clearances-diagram.pdf?v=1790536944\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens minimum clearances diagram (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the oven is a finished dome rather than a bare core, a built in kitchen usually means building the counter and the wall up to and around the base and leaving the stone exposed, as in the photo above. That is the simplest built in there is: no enclosure, no venting plan, no finish work on the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want an oven fully enclosed inside a masonry surround, the bare \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ebuilders custom pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e is this same Pizzaioli dome sold with no facade and a standard iron door for exactly that, built to order at about 12 weeks, and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/built-in\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ebuilt in pizza oven collection\u003c\/a\u003e has the cores that were designed to be boxed in. The Lume Largo pizza oven is not one of them, and with the Tudo especially, hiding the stone would be the wrong move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003eCuring, Cracks, and Weather Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new Portuguese brick pizza oven holds water in its mortar, its cement shell, and its slab, and that water has to leave slowly or it leaves as steam and cracks the shell. APO's curing schedule is five small fires on five consecutive days: 140°F, 215°F, 300°F, 400°F, and 480°F on the dial, each held for a few hours, each one a little bigger than the last. Then a full fire. Skip it and the warranty on your Lume Largo pizza oven is void, and so is any chance of a clean dome. This is the one instruction on the page we would ask you to read twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven cured properly, every Lume Largo brick pizza oven will develop hairline cracks in its first season, and APO says so plainly: all traditional ovens crack, it is normal, and it is not a defect. On the Premium the cracks show in the white render; on the Tudo they show in the mortar lines of the cast stone, where they are far less visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEither way they are in the cosmetic shell of the Lume Largo pizza oven, not the fire brick chamber, and they do not affect cooking or safety. The oven ships with an Ultra Fire patch kit for exactly this, and touching up a crack takes ten minutes with a putty knife. Expansion at 800°C runs 1 to 1.5 percent, and that movement has to go somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"llg-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3d2Dth9MKmA\" title=\"How to repair cracks with Ultra Fire\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"llg-cap\"\u003eFilling hairline cracks with the Ultra Fire kit that ships inside the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other warranty condition is weather protection. An oven set in the open, like the lakeside Tudo at the top of this page, needs a cover on it every night it is not in use, because rain soaking into an uncovered dome is the fast way to turn hairline cracks into real ones when the next fire drives the water out as steam. A roof does most of the work for an oven under one, and a full outdoor kitchen roof is better still, but the cover is the condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO requires an all weather cover whenever the oven is not in use, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-brick-oven-cover\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens cover\u003c\/a\u003e comes in the two fits this page needs: Pizzaioli Dome COVER100W for the Premium, XL COVER120 for the Tudo.

It is the right call for a family that will run a pizza night for twelve people most weekends and roast on the leftover heat, for a counter or island where the oven is seen from the front and the side, and for anyone who wants the stone look without a warm Sierra or Preto tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e instead of the Lume Largo pizza oven if you want the same gray cast stone on the tall dome, with the headroom to roast standing up and run a rotisserie spit.

The Premium takes the Pizzaioli Dome fit, COVER100W, because the dome behind the stone front is plain white render; the Tudo takes the XL fit, COVER120, because the cladding adds four inches each way and the cover has to clear it. Pick the fit that matches your finish on the cover page; covers and chimney parts are not returnable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-starter-pack\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003efive piece starter pack\u003c\/a\u003e: a wooden peel to build on, a long aluminum peel to launch and retrieve, a turner, an ash shovel, and an oven brush. Nothing in the crate does those jobs, and with a 19.7 inch mouth and the door down out of the way, the turner is the one you will reach for most on a Lume Largo pizza oven, because a quarter turn at the mouth is the whole technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does not belong on the order is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-rotisserie-spit-traditional\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003etraditional rotisserie spit\u003c\/a\u003e.

The front is the part that makes a Maximus pizza oven look like an oven rather than a box: stacked cast stone, molded in refractory cement over a forged iron frame that reinforces it, in gray and charcoal tones on the Black and sand and reddish tones on the Red and the Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door is a flat plate of stainless with a wooden handle and a row of air holes across the bottom. It lifts off completely, as above, rather than hinging, so for pizza service you set it aside and work through a fully open mouth. Set it back in place and the holes meter air to the fire for roasting and baking. The dial thermometer reads 0 to 500°C and sits in the stone at the right of the door, where you can read it from the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney is a 5 inch stainless flue with a cap, and on the Maximus pizza oven it sits at the back of the dome rather than over the mouth. It ships complete; the maker's chimney extension and cap are cut for the brick ovens and do not fit it. That placement is not cosmetic; it is the key to how this oven cooks, and it gets its own section next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eHow the False Ceiling Cooks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-false-ceiling-air-flow-diagram.webp?v=1790025705\" alt=\"Cutaway diagram of the Maximus pizza oven showing flame rolling forward under the false ceiling and exhaust passing back over it to the rear chimney\" width=\"800\" height=\"767\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brick dome cooks by radiating stored heat down from a curved ceiling. The Maximus pizza oven has no dome inside; it has a flat false ceiling with a channel above it, and the fire's path is drawn in APO's diagram above. Build the fire at the back of the floor. Flame and hot gas roll forward under the ceiling toward the door, because the door's air holes are the only way in and the chimney at the back is the only way out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the front the gas turns up behind the door, climbs over the false ceiling, and travels back along the channel to the chimney. Every bit of heat passes over the cooking chamber twice, once under the ceiling on the way to the door and once above it on the way to the flue. The ceiling becomes a hot plate over the pizza, the floor tiles soak heat from the fire beside them, and the whole chamber comes to temperature in half an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza the effect is a low, hot ceiling 9.5 inches over the floor, which colors the top of a pizza as fast as the tile crisps the base. For roasting it means a chamber with heat from below, above, and the side, and no cold corner. It is also why the Maximus pizza oven burns so little wood: nothing goes straight up the flue. The fire stays small, at the back, and the oven does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Maximus Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree colors, one oven, one Maximus Mobile pizza oven.

APO rates the Maximus pizza oven at up to 30 pizzas an hour, which is a family pizza night with friends, or a farmers market stall with a queue, and the floor recovers between pizzas because the fire is right there beside it. That is the practical difference between this and a small gas oven: you never wait for the stone to come back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before your first pizza in a Maximus pizza oven. The dial reads the air near the front and lags the tile during the heat up, so go by the clean ceiling rather than the needle. And the ceiling is close, so a pizza with a wet center or a heavy load of toppings wants a slightly cooler oven and an extra 30 seconds; a lean Neapolitan style pizza wants it as hot as it gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eBeyond Pizza: Roasting, Baking, and the Ceramic Dish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-tri-tip-roasting-rack-flame.webp?v=1790026025\" alt=\"Tri tip on a roasting rack inside a Maximus pizza oven with the flame rolling along the stainless chamber beside it\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pizzas, or instead of them, the Maximus pizza oven is a roasting oven with a live flame.

The easiest answer is APO's own stand, a powder coated steel cart with a shelf for wood, a fold out side table, and two wheels, as above, which puts the floor at working height and lets one person roll the oven across a patio. It is built for the Maximus footprint, and it has its own page: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-stand\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile stand\u003c\/a\u003e.

The stacked stone base above with the wood bay underneath is the classic version; a block base with a paver cap, a stainless prep table, or a poured counter all do the same job. The oven's base plate is 27.5 inches square, so a 30 by 30 inch top is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-red-tree-stump-table-backyard.webp?v=1790026254\" alt=\"Red Maximus pizza oven set on a slab of tree trunk in a backyard, showing how little it needs under it\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the third answer is whatever is there. The owner above set a Maximus pizza oven on a slab of tree trunk, which is not our recommendation for a permanent installation but makes the point: this oven needs very little under it. Clearances from the guide are 2 inches at the sides, 16 inches above the chimney cap, and a non combustible landing in front of the door, because the mouth and the door plate get hot even though the sides do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor sits about 4 inches above the base plate, so on a 36 inch table the floor is at 40 inches, which is where most people want it. A base lower than 30 inches means bending to the peel all night, and a base much taller than 40 makes it hard to see the pizza. Under a roof, a pergola, or on a covered porch, plan a flue run above the 5 inch chimney the way you would for a small wood stove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eTaking It With You: Tailgates, Camping, and Food Trucks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-red-loaded-in-hatchback.webp?v=1790026313\" alt=\"Two views of a red Maximus pizza oven loaded in the back of a hatchback with the tailgate up\" width=\"800\" height=\"299\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photo above is the sales pitch in one frame. Lift the chimney off, lift the door out, and a Maximus pizza oven slides into the back of a hatchback or a pickup bed with two people on the handles. The Maximus pizza oven goes to a tailgate, a campsite with a flat table, a beach house, a friend's backyard, a fair, a wedding, and back home again. For a family that cooks pizza for other people, that is the reason to buy this oven over a brick dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood trucks and trailers are the Maximus pizza oven's other life, and APO sells it for that use with one condition that we will state plainly. An oven mounted in a vehicle takes road vibration and suspension shock that a patio oven never sees. Before it goes on the road, the cast stone face has to be secured to the body with added bolts from the dome into the face (a 5\/32 inch concrete bit, a 7\/32 inch metal bit, and a 1\/4 inch nut driver do it), the vehicle has to have suspension up to the load, and the oven has to be tied down to the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an after purchase modification that the owner or the truck builder does and that the maker takes no responsibility for. We hold the maker's step by step instruction videos and send them to every truck or trailer buyer with the order confirmation; the maker does not allow them posted publicly, so they are not on this page. Without the modification, road use is outside the warranty. With it, a Maximus pizza oven is a proven small wood fired pizza oven for trucks, hot in half an hour before service on a few pounds of wood an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe everyday portable use, car to campsite to patio, needs no modification at all. Let the oven cool fully before you move it, lift by the body rather than the stone front, and keep the chimney, door, and dish packed separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the inspector on your truck build will not accept a residential rated oven, or the concept runs on gas rather than wood, the listed alternative on this site is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/omcan-48080-48081-48082-gas-countertop-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOmcan commercial countertop pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e, a cETLus and ETL Sanitation listed natural gas oven with the propane kit in the box and no electrical connection, in 24, 32 and 36 inch outside widths.

Its walls are stainless and aluminum, not mortar and cement, so there is no water to drive out and no shell to crack. What it does want is two or three small first fires, each an hour or so, before the first full heat. The refractory tiles and the cast stone front hold some moisture from manufacture and shipping, and a gentle start lets it leave without spalling a tile. After that, fire it as hot as you like, up to the 500°C mark on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare on a Maximus pizza oven is what you would do for any stainless grill. Sweep the ash out when the oven is cold, lift the tiles occasionally to brush the frame, and wipe the aluminum skin with soapy water; the powder finish is tough but it is paint, so no abrasives. The stainless door and chimney will discolor with heat, which is normal and cosmetic. Hairline cracks in the cast stone front are cosmetic as well and do not affect the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one condition on the warranty is weather. APO requires an all weather cover on every Maximus pizza oven whenever it is not in use, rain, snow, leaves, and sun included, and it makes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-cover\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecover cut for this oven\u003c\/a\u003e.

The freight is free because the oven clears our $750 threshold on its own; the one charge at checkout is the $95 liftgate fee every oven over 150 pounds carries at a home address. Shipping to a business with a loading dock or forklift? Contact us and we refund it. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, and a remote or mountain address may carry a carrier surcharge that we confirm with you before the oven ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black and Red show in stock on the maker's latest report and typically ship within a few business days; the Orange is a single remaining unit, sold until it is gone and not restocked. The owner confirms the date with the warehouse at order, and we will tell you the honest date before your card is charged rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect the box your Maximus pizza oven arrives in before you sign for it. Note any damage on the delivery receipt, even a crushed corner, because a signed clean receipt gives up most of your protection. Concealed damage found after opening has a five day reporting window. Unused ovens still in their box can be returned within 14 days, with the return freight paid by the buyer, which is why we would rather answer every question before you order than process a return after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warranty on the Maximus pizza oven is three years on the structure, materials, and craftsmanship, on two conditions covered above: keep it covered when it is not in use, and if it goes on a truck or trailer, do the modification first. What separates dealers on this oven is delivery included, the cover and the stand on the same order, and who answers the phone afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, chat and email go straight to the owner, and a real answer usually comes the same day, including help choosing between the Maximus pizza oven and the Prime, or between this and a brick dome, before you commit.

Set the oven on a surface rated for 200 pounds, about 30 by 30 inches and 32 to 36 inches high: a block base, a stainless table, a masonry counter, or the APO stand. Under a roof, run a flue above the chimney as you would for a small wood stove; the maker's brick oven chimney extension does not fit this oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpacking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Maximus pizza oven arrives boxed on a pallet at the curb. Open the box in place, lift out the chimney, door, dish, peel, thermometer, ash holder, and spare tile, and lift the oven by the body with two people, never by the stone front.

In about 30 minutes the ceiling burns clean and the dial passes 400°C. Rake the coals to one side, keep one split burning for flame, and cook pizzas through the open mouth. For roasting and bread, set the door in place; its air holes feed the fire.

It is the oven APO sells to food trucks, caterers, and small pizzerias, and to families who cook for a crowd.

The Maximus Prime pizza oven cooks on a 35.4 by 35.4 inch refractory tile floor, about 1,250 square inches, against the Mobile's 23.5 by 23.5 inch floor at about 550. That is more than double the tile, and it is the difference between one 12 inch pizza at a time and three or four on the floor with the fire at the back. APO rates the Prime at up to 80 twelve inch pizzas an hour, and the Mobile at 30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouth grows with the floor. The Maximus Prime pizza oven's door opening is 20 inches wide and 11 high, which takes a half sheet pan, a full size roasting tray, or two pizzas side by side on the peel. The false ceiling sits 12.5 inches above the floor rather than 9.5, so a whole chicken, a Dutch oven, or the rotisserie spit fits under it with room for flame. Outside, the oven is 39 inches wide and deep, 30.3 inches tall to the top of the dome, and 44.5 with the chimney and cap fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is weight. APO quotes the Maximus Prime pizza oven at about 400 pounds, twice the Mobile, and it does not go in the back of a hatchback. It goes in a pickup bed or a trailer, on a pallet or with four people on the base, and then it stays where you put it. The owner above set the Prime on a block base against the house with the wood stacked below, and that is the typical home installation: portable in that no masonry was poured, permanent in that it does not move on a Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it beside the brick domes and the picture flips. A \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e is the same 39 inches square, about 1,250 pounds on a slab, and needs an hour to come up to temperature and a masonry base to sit on. The Maximus Prime pizza oven gives you more floor than that dome at a third of the weight, on any base rated for 400 pounds, hot in 30 minutes. What the brick dome keeps is stored heat that lasts all night; the Prime holds cooking heat for an hour or two after the fire. That is the whole decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eConstruction: Stainless Chamber, Aluminum Skin, Cast Stone Front\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-black-apo-stand-fire-lit-fern-wall.webp?v=1790182004\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime pizza oven on the APO stand with a fire burning, fern wall behind\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of a Maximus Prime pizza oven is three layers, the same three as the Mobile. The inner chamber is a double wall of 304-2B stainless steel, two skins of half a millimeter each. Around it sits a high temperature ceramic fiber blanket and a bio soluble safety blanket, both asbestos free. The outer skin is 1.4 millimeter aluminum, powder finished in Black or Red. Heat stays in the chamber, the sides stay cool enough to stand beside, and nothing in the wall rusts, cracks, or needs curing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor is refractory tile rated to 1,200°C, laid in a frame so a single tile lifts out and a spare drops in; one spare ships in the crate for that reason. The front is stacked cast stone molded in Lafarge refractory cement over a forged iron frame that reinforces it, in gray and charcoal tones on the Black and sand and reddish tones on the Red. The stone is what makes a Maximus Prime pizza oven look like an oven rather than a steel box, and on the black APO stand above it reads as one piece of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door of a Maximus Prime pizza oven is a flat plate of 304 stainless with a wooden handle and a row of air holes along the bottom. It lifts off completely rather than hinging, so for pizza service you set it aside and work through a fully open 20 inch mouth. Set it back in place and the holes meter air to the fire for roasting and bread. The dial thermometer reads 0 to 500°C and sits in the stone beside the door where you can read it from the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Prime is a 5.9 inch stainless flue with a cap, mounted at the back of the dome rather than over the mouth, and it ships complete; the maker's chimney extension and cap are cut for the brick ovens and do not fit it. Because the chamber is stainless rather than brick, the Maximus Prime pizza oven is also the APO oven for a coastal deck or a beach house: 304 stainless resists salt air in a way that iron door frames and untreated steel do not, which is why it is the standard for commercial kitchen equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHow the Prime Cooks: The False Ceiling at 12.5 Inches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brick dome cooks by radiating stored heat down from a curved ceiling. The Maximus Prime pizza oven has no dome inside; it has a flat false ceiling with a channel above it. Build the fire at the back of the floor. Flame and hot gas roll forward under the ceiling toward the door, because the door's air holes are the only way in and the chimney at the back is the only way out. At the front the gas turns up behind the door, climbs over the false ceiling, and travels back along the channel to the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bit of heat in a Maximus Prime pizza oven passes over the cooking chamber twice, once under the ceiling on the way to the door and once above it on the way to the chimney. The ceiling becomes a hot plate over the pizza, the tiles soak heat from the fire beside them, and the whole chamber comes to temperature in about 30 minutes on a fire of three or four splits. It is why the Prime burns five to seven pounds of hardwood an hour rather than fifteen: nothing goes straight up the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven's ceiling is 12.5 inches over the floor, three inches higher than the Mobile's, and that changes how it cooks in two ways. Pizza gets a little less top heat from the ceiling and a little more from the flame, so a loaded pizza with a wet center finishes evenly rather than scorching on top. And roasting gets a real chamber: a whole bird on the spit, a Dutch oven with the lid on, a rack of vegetables over a tray of potatoes.

When the dial reads past 400°C and the ceiling has burned clean, rake the coals to the back and one side, keep one or two splits burning on top of them for flame, and the oven is ready. A 12 inch pizza goes in beside the fire and comes out in two to three minutes with a quarter turn halfway through, the crust blistered from the tile and the top colored by the flame, as above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the 35.4 inch floor changes is the rhythm. With the fire at the back you have room for three or four 12 inch pizzas at once, launched in sequence and turned in sequence, so the Prime runs a queue rather than a single ticket. APO's 80 pizzas an hour figure assumes exactly that: a steady fire, a peel in each hand, and pizzas going in as others come out. A family pizza night for twelve is one fire and forty minutes of cooking. A market stall with a line is the same oven working all afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before the first pizza in a Maximus Prime pizza oven. The dial reads the air near the front and lags the tile during the heat up, so go by the clean ceiling rather than the needle, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hpc-fire-fdp-infrared-gun-forno-de-pizza-digital-infrared-thermometer-gun\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHPC Fire infrared thermometer\u003c\/a\u003e tells you the real floor temperature that the dial cannot. And the floor near the fire runs hotter than the floor by the door, so rotate pizzas between positions as well as turning them. The Prime's wider mouth makes that easy; the Mobile's 15.5 inch door does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood matters more in the Prime than in a gas oven because the flame is part of the cook. Kiln dried oak, hickory, or maple in 8 to 10 inch splits gives a clean, steady fire; softwood, treated wood, and anything green smokes the chamber and the pizza.

Put the door back on, leave the air holes open, and the chamber settles to a steady 250 to 300°C with the coals at the back. A half sheet pan of vegetables goes through the 20 inch mouth flat; a spatchcocked chicken roasts in about 40 minutes with a skin no kitchen oven gives it; a pork shoulder takes the afternoon on the coals with the door on and the fire fed hourly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a whole chicken, a duck, or a rolled roast turning over the fire, APO makes a separate \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-rotisserie-spit\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime rotisserie spit\u003c\/a\u003e, a free standing stainless frame with its own drip pan that sits on the tile floor and turns by hand from a handle outside the mouth. It is sized for the Prime's 12.5 inch ceiling and 20 inch door, and it is a different product from the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-rotisserie-spit\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile rotisserie spit\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 by 14.5 by 3 inch Portuguese ceramic baking dish in every crate goes in with room on every side. Fish over lemon and asparagus, a casserole, a bread pudding, a pan of roast potatoes: the dish sits beside the coals and comes out with the glaze a wood fire puts on everything. Season it before first use by soaking it in water and baking it dry at low heat, and it will outlast the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBread wants the Maximus Prime pizza oven on the way down. Once the coals are dying, close the door, wait for the dial to fall to around 230°C, and two or three round loaves bake on the tile floor in 30 to 40 minutes with a crust that comes from the stored heat in the tiles and the ceiling. An evening of pizza, then a roast, then bread on the falling heat, is a normal Saturday for one, with more of each than the Mobile can hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCarts, Counters, and Bases for a 400 Pound Portable Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-black-cart-outdoor-kitchen-stone-grill-island.webp?v=1790183170\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime on its rolling cart beside a stone outdoor kitchen island with a built in grill\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven sits flat on its base plate, and you choose what goes under it. The first answer is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBello, APO's own cart for the Prime\u003c\/a\u003e, a powder coated steel frame with a lower shelf and wheels, built for the 39 inch footprint, that puts the floor at working height. The owner above parked a Black Prime on its cart beside a stone outdoor kitchen's built in grill: no base, no masonry, and the oven moves if the layout changes. The maker asks that the cart be ordered with the oven so the two ship together; a cart shipped alone is a fragile parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-black-tiled-outdoor-kitchen-counter-firewood.webp?v=1790182492\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime set into a tiled outdoor kitchen counter with firewood stored below\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second answer is a counter or a base you build, and because the Prime weighs about 400 pounds rather than 1,250, the base can be a block wall with a paver cap, a poured counter, or a framed and tiled outdoor kitchen like the one above, with the oven set into the run beside a plancha and the firewood stored underneath. Any level, non combustible top rated for 400 pounds will do. The base plate is 39 inches square, so plan a top of about 42 by 42 inches to leave a lip for the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-wood-cart-deck-fire-lit.webp?v=1790182595\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime on a wooden cart on a backyard deck with a fire going\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third answer is a cart you already own or build. The Red Prime above lives on a timber cart with casters on a deck, a fine solution if the top is non combustible and the casters lock. Clearances from APO's guide are 2 inches at the sides, 16 inches above the chimney cap, and a non combustible landing in front of the door, because the mouth and door plate get hot even though the sides do not. Under a roof or a porch, plan a flue run above the 5.9 inch chimney the way you would for a wood stove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight is worth a minute. The cooking floor sits a few inches above the base plate, so a base of 30 to 34 inches puts the floor between about 34 and 40 inches, where most people want it for a peel. Lower than 30 means bending to the oven all night; taller than 40 makes it hard to see the back of a pizza. If the oven is going on a counter beside a grill, match the grill's cooking surface height and you will be close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Food Truck Pizza Oven: Trucks, Trailers, and Catering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-food-trailer-serving-window.webp?v=1790182350\" alt=\"Maximus Prime pizza oven installed inside a red food trailer at the serving window\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the use the Maximus Prime pizza oven was built for, and the one APO puts first on its own page. A food truck pizza oven has to heat fast, burn little, and keep up at the window, and a Prime in a trailer, as above, heats in 30 minutes before service, burns a few pounds of wood an hour, turns out 80 pizzas an hour, and costs a fraction of a purpose built pizza trailer. The oven is the easy part of a mobile pizza business; the permit is the hard part, so here is where the oven fits into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost state and local health departments write their mobile food unit rules from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/fda-food-code\/food-code-2022\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFDA Food Code\u003c\/a\u003e, which is the model behind retail food regulation in every state, and they inspect the unit rather than the oven. Ventilation over the mouth, fire suppression, clearances to the walls of the truck, and the flue through the roof are the questions your inspector will ask, and a truck builder who has mounted a wood fired oven before will have answers. The Prime has no gas line, no electrical load, and no moving parts, which simplifies most of that conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your inspector will only sign off on a listed commercial appliance, or the concept runs on gas rather than wood, the listed alternative on this site is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/omcan-48080-48081-48082-gas-countertop-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOmcan commercial countertop pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e, a cETLus and ETL Sanitation listed natural gas oven with the propane kit in the box and no electrical connection, in 24, 32 and 36 inch outside widths.

It does not travel like the Mobile does; it travels on a pallet or a trailer, with the chimney and door out and the tiles and dish packed separately. Caterers who use one tend to leave it on a small trailer or a purpose built cart and tow the rig, which solves the base question at every venue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-stone-table-woodland.webp?v=1790182645\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime on a stone table in a woodland setting with autumn leaves\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home the same portability means something simpler: the oven went where a brick oven could not. The Red Prime above sits on a stone slab table at the edge of a wood, put there without a pour, a hoist, or a mason. A large portable pizza oven at 400 pounds is still a two hour job to move with the right help, but it is a job you can do, and that is not true of any brick dome on our site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eA Commercial Wood Fired Pizza Oven for a Small Pizzeria\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-pizzeria-kitchen-fire-lit.webp?v=1790183286\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime running in a working pizzeria kitchen with the fire lit and pizza boxes stacked\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pizzeria above runs a Red Maximus Prime pizza oven as its main oven, with the boxes stacked beside it and the fire lit for service. That is not unusual. At 80 twelve inch pizzas an hour, the Prime covers a small pizzeria, a pop up, a brewery kitchen, or a restaurant that wants a wood fired section on the menu without a 3,000 pound masonry oven and the engineering that comes with it. It sits on a stainless stand, vents through a hood like any solid fuel appliance, and one cook can run it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo honest notes for a commercial buyer. Indoor installation of any wood fired oven is a local code question, hood, flue, and clearances first, and the oven does not answer it; your fire marshal and hood installer do. And a restaurant that wants a bread program on stored heat should look at a brick dome. For everything a pizza service needs, the Maximus Prime pizza oven does it at a fraction of the weight and cost, and owners run it in trucks, cafes, and pizzerias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the business case is what you are weighing, our post on whether \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/are-outdoor-pizza-ovens-worth-it\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eoutdoor pizza ovens are worth it\u003c\/a\u003e runs the numbers for a home buyer, and for a food business the math is simpler: one Prime, one fire, and a sixty dollar bag of hardwood is a night of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFirst Fires, Care, and the Cover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no five day curing schedule on the Prime. Its walls are stainless and aluminum, not mortar and cement, so there is no water to drive out and no shell to crack. What it wants is two or three small first fires, each an hour or so, before the first full heat. The refractory tiles and the cast stone front hold some moisture from manufacture and shipping, and a gentle start lets it leave without spalling a tile. After that, fire it as hot as you like, up to the 500°C mark on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is what you would do for any stainless grill. Sweep the ash out when the oven is cold, lift a tile now and then to brush the frame, and wipe the aluminum skin with soapy water; the powder finish is tough but it is paint, so no abrasives. The stainless door and chimney will discolor with heat, which is normal and cosmetic. Hairline cracks in the cast stone front are cosmetic as well and do not affect the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one condition on the warranty is weather. APO requires an all weather cover on the oven whenever it is not in use, rain, snow, leaves, and sun included, and it makes a cover cut for this oven: heavy duty polyester with a PVC backing and a drawstring hem that slips over the body once the chimney and cap are lifted off, sold as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime cover\u003c\/a\u003e.

What separates dealers on this oven is delivery included, the cover and the cart on the same order, and who answers the phone afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, chat and email go straight to the owner, and a real answer usually comes the same day, including help choosing between the Prime and the Mobile, or between this and a brick dome, before you commit.

Set the oven on a surface rated for 400 pounds, about 42 by 42 inches and 30 to 34 inches high: a block base, a poured or framed counter, a stainless stand, or the APO Prime cart. Under a roof, run a flue above the chimney as you would for a wood stove; the maker's brick oven chimney extension does not fit this oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpacking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Maximus Prime pizza oven arrives crated on a pallet at the curb. Open the crate in place, lift out the chimney, door, dish, peel, thermometer, ash holder, and spare tile, and move the oven to its base on a pallet jack, an appliance dolly with straps, or with four people on the base plate, never by the stone front. Set it on the base, fit the chimney into its collar at the back of the dome, fit the cap, and screw the thermometer into its hole in the stone beside the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst fires.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two or three small fires of an hour each, a few small splits of dry hardwood at the back of the floor, before the first full heat. This dries the tiles and the cast stone gently.

In about 30 minutes the ceiling burns clean and the dial passes 400°C. Rake the coals to the back and one side, keep one or two splits burning for flame, and cook pizzas through the open mouth, rotating between the hot side and the door side. For roasting and bread, set the door in place; its air holes feed the fire. Sweep ash out once the oven is cold, and lift a tile to brush the frame now and then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoving it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the oven cool completely. Remove the chimney and the door, pack the dish, tiles, and tools separately, and move the oven on a pallet, a dolly, or with four people. For a food truck or trailer, complete APO's securing modification (added bolts from the dome into the face with a 5\/32 inch concrete bit, a 7\/32 inch metal bit, and a 1\/4 inch nut driver, adequate suspension, oven tied down to the counter) before the first trip. Tell us the oven is going on a vehicle when you order and the maker's instruction videos come with your confirmation; they are not posted publicly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter cooking.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the oven cool fully before covering.

Season the ceramic dish before first use by soaking it in water, then baking it dry at low heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe send APO's setup guide, clearance diagram, and dish seasoning instructions with every order confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWARRANTY INFORMATION\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic Pizza Ovens warrants the Maximus Prime pizza oven, in both colors, for three years against structural defects in materials and craftsmanship, from the date of delivery, to the original purchaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConditions.\u003c\/strong\u003e The oven must be protected from weather with an APO cover or equivalent all weather protection whenever it is not in use.

It runs on propane from a 75,000 BTU burner along the left wall, on a wood fire built on the floor, or on both at once, and it does it on a 31.5 by 31.5 inch refractory floor that holds two large pizzas with room to turn them. It is made in Italy, in Sicily, by a family oven maker with more than sixty years of building ovens like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for $4,995 is a 420 pound stainless countertop oven, 42 inches wide and 38.5 deep, with the propane burner, the chimney, the door, the refractory floor and a thermometer in the box, plus the adapter that connects it to a standard US propane tank. The price is set by ItaliaForno and is the same at every dealer, so the choice of where to buy comes down to who you would rather deal with after the crate lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grande Pro Duo pizza oven is a residential outdoor oven with a two year warranty, and that warranty has one everyday condition: keep it covered when it is not in use. It is also the oven ItaliaForno puts on pizza trailers and catering rigs, with the warranty on those builds approved one setup at a time, which has its own section below. It is propane only, with no natural gas option today, and it is a 420 pound countertop oven that needs a cart or a base decided before it arrives. Those facts are stated up front because they decide whether this is the right oven before the rest of the page does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdered from Crustify, the Grande Pro Duo pizza oven ships boxed on a pallet from ItaliaForno's Texas warehouse, in stock as we write this, with liftgate delivery to a home driveway for the $95 fee every pallet oven on this site carries. Chat and email go straight to the owner, and the oven is excluded from every sitewide coupon because ItaliaForno holds a strict MSRP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of this page covers how the hybrid works, what the 31.5 inch floor does, cooking on it, flame control and propane, the cart and clearances, food trucks and pizza trailers, cover and care, how it compares with the other hybrid ovens we carry, and buying it from Crustify.

That is what lets a gas oven brown a crust the way a wood fire does: the heat comes from above and beside the pizza, and the refractory floor, once it is up to temperature, does the bottom. The control knob on the front face sets the flame from a low simmer to full output, and the pilot and thermocouple keep it lit in wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood fire goes on the floor on the right side, away from the burner, the same way it does in any wood oven. Build it small, let it burn down to a bed of coals with a live flame at the back, and slide the pizza in beside it. On wood alone the Grande Pro Duo pizza oven cooks like a brick oven with a stainless shell: you manage the fire, you turn the pizza toward the flame, and the flavor comes from the smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth together is the mode that earns the name. Light the propane to bring the oven up in half an hour instead of an hour, keep the burner on low to hold the floor temperature between pizzas, and run a small wood fire on the other side for the flame and the flavor. On a night of twenty pizzas, the gas does the work of keeping the oven ready and the wood does the work of making them taste like they came from a wood fired oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gpd-h2\"\u003eThe 31.5 Inch Floor and What Fits On It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"gpd-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-cooking-chamber.webp?v=1790306378\" alt=\"Inside the ItaliaForno Grande Pro Duo, refractory floor and copper toned dome with a pizza cooking\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor is 31.5 by 31.5 inches, just under 1,000 square inches of refractory tile under a dome 13.5 inches at its peak, and the mouth is 21.65 inches wide by 8.62 tall. Those numbers decide what the Grande Pro Duo pizza oven will and will not do: two 14 inch pizzas side by side with a wood fire beside them, three 12 inch pizzas at once by ItaliaForno's own rating, a 16 inch pizza and a tray of vegetables, a whole chicken on a rack, a Dutch oven of bread, a sheet of focaccia.

That is the difference between this class of oven and the small portable ovens that cook one pizza and then wait: the Grande Pro Duo pizza oven has the mass to keep cooking, which is why ItaliaForno puts it at the top of the line and prices it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gpd-h2\"\u003eCooking on the Grande Pro Duo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreheat is 30 to 50 minutes on gas with the door on, until the thermometer in the front face reads 750 to 850°F and the dome has gone from black to pale. The oven will reach 1,000°F, and ItaliaForno asks that you cook at 850°F or below for the sake of the tiles and the gaskets; Neapolitan style pizza at 800°F takes about 90 seconds, a New York style pie at 650°F takes four or five minutes, and both come off the same floor once you learn to read the flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, turn the burner to low or let the wood fire fall to coals and the Grande Pro Duo pizza oven becomes a roasting oven. Skin on chicken at 450°F, a pork shoulder low and slow with the door on, bread at 500°F with a pan of water for steam, vegetables on a sheet pan in the last hour of heat. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafety.gov\/print\/pdf\/node\/10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFoodSafety.gov\u003c\/a\u003e puts poultry at 165°F and pork roasts at 145°F with a rest, and a probe is the only way to know a roast in a 700°F oven is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cvideo class=\"gpd-video\" controls preload=\"metadata\" playsinline width=\"800\" poster=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-pizza-on-peel.webp?v=1790306424\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/2424101ec1914b4ea215873279931208.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003eHow to make a pizza in an ItaliaForno pizza oven.\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"gpd-cap\"\u003eItaliaForno's own walk through of a first pizza, from dough to the oven floor.

The Grande Pro Duo pizza oven is not in a hurry; it takes longer to heat and holds heat longer, so the rhythm is a long preheat, then pizza after pizza without waiting for recovery, then an hour of roasting on the heat that is left. Owners who plan the night that way get more out of it than owners who fire it up for one pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gpd-h2\"\u003eFlame Control, Ignition and Propane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"gpd-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-flame-control.webp?v=1790306626\" alt=\"ItaliaForno Grande Pro Duo flame control knob close up on an outdoor counter\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grande Pro Duo pizza oven is propane only. ItaliaForno does not offer a natural gas option today; if you need one, ask us before you order and we will check current availability with the brand. The oven ships with the adapter that mates its European inlet to a standard US propane tank. At full output the burner draws 1,601 grams of propane an hour, about 3.5 pounds, so a 20 pound tank is five to six hours at full burn and far longer on low. A tank covers a weekend of cooking; keep a second one for the night the first runs dry mid pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgnition is a pilot flame with a thermocouple, lit by a push button spark igniter that runs on a single AAA battery in the back of the oven, included in the box. Open the tank, turn the knob to the spark mark, press and hold it, press the igniter until the pilot catches, keep the knob held for about 15 seconds so the thermocouple heats, and release. The main burner lights from the pilot. If the flame ever blows out, the thermocouple shuts the gas, which is why the knob has to be held on the first light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there the knob runs the burner between its low and high marks. Low holds a preheated floor for as long as you like; high is for the preheat and for pushing the dome back to color between pizzas. The knob, the heat deflector and the adapter are all shown in the setup video further down, along with the dimensions of the adapter so a replacement can be matched at a hardware store if one ever goes missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gpd-h2\"\u003eThe Cart and Where It Sits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"gpd-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-cart-outdoor-cooking.webp?v=1790306288\" alt=\"ItaliaForno Grande Pro Duo on its cart outdoors with a cook holding a topped pizza on the peel\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grande Pro Duo pizza oven is a countertop oven that weighs 420 pounds, so where it sits is decided before it arrives. ItaliaForno makes a matching \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-oven-cart\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo cart\u003c\/a\u003e, $795 and sold separately, sized for this oven and not the smaller ones: a bolt together stainless frame with a middle work shelf, a bottom shelf that takes a 20 pound propane tank or a night of split wood, and four wheels. Its page covers the shelves, the wheels and assembly; add it to the same order and it ships free with the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA block or masonry base works just as well, and for a permanent outdoor kitchen it is the better answer. The manual's clearances are 8 inches from walls on all sides, 20 inches clear on each side of the chimney and 40 inches above it, on a level, non combustible surface rated for the weight. A propane cylinder stored in a cabinet under the oven is limited to a 20 pound tank with ventilation; never a larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhatever it sits on, the oven itself is moved with the chimney, the door and the floor tiles taken out, and only when it is cold with the gas disconnected. That is a two person lift at best; on a cart it rolls, and on a base it stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gpd-h2\"\u003eFood Trucks, Pizza Trailers and Catering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"gpd-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-outdoor-entertaining.webp?v=1790306749\" alt=\"ItaliaForno Grande Pro Duo lit and built into a pizza trailer serving counter with a pizza on the counter\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the oven ItaliaForno puts on pizza trailers and catering rigs, and it shows it that way on its own site. The reasons are the same three numbers that make it the top of the line: a 31.5 inch floor that ItaliaForno rates for three 12 inch pizzas at once, four for an experienced operator; a 75,000 BTU burner that brings the floor back between loads instead of making the line wait; and 420 pounds of stainless and refractory that hold heat through a five hour event. Run it on gas for consistency, add a small wood fire beside the pizzas when the crowd wants to see flame and smell smoke, and the Grande Pro Duo pizza oven turns out event volume that a portable oven cannot touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is how the warranty works on a mobile build, because it is not automatic and we will not pretend otherwise. ItaliaForno reviews each trailer setup individually before the sale and approves it in writing: a professionally built trailer, proper mounting of the oven, the gas connection and the installation all have to pass. The oven is never operated inside an enclosed trailer or vehicle; the manual's carbon monoxide warning rules that out. On an open trailer it runs in open air, mounted, with the same clearances as any other installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the process from Crustify is this. Before you order, send us your trailer details, the mounting spot and its dimensions, and photos if the trailer exists, along with how the gas will be plumbed. We put all of it to ItaliaForno in writing and come back to you with the approval, or the changes they want, before your card is charged. If your plan is to haul the oven to events and cook on the ground beside the trailer rather than on it, send that plan too; it goes through the same review. We would rather spend a week getting a build approved than sell you a warranty you do not have.

Cover it when it is cold, with a breathable outdoor oven cover that fits a 42 by 39 inch body 47 inches tall with the chimney on; ItaliaForno does not list its own cover yet, and we will point you to one that fits when you order. Remove the propane cylinder for long storage and keep it upright and outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a brush on the floor after each cook, a vacuum around the burner every few weeks so ash and crumbs do not block the ports, and a wipe of the stainless with a stainless cleaner. A thin film of food grade oil or petroleum jelly on the steel after cleaning is ItaliaForno's own advice against surface rust. Heat discoloration on the stainless is normal and not covered, and the door, the floor tiles, the gaskets and the igniter battery are consumables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gpd-h2\"\u003eHow It Compares to the Hybrids You Are Also Looking At\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone reading this page is also looking at the Gozney Dome, the Alfa Moderno and a Fontana, and the honest way to compare them is on three numbers rather than on photographs. Floor area decides how many pizzas cook at once. Burner output decides how fast the oven preheats and how fast the floor recovers after each pizza. Mass decides how long it holds that heat once the burner drops to low. The Grande Pro Duo pizza oven is a 31.5 by 31.5 inch floor, a 75,000 BTU burner and 420 pounds; write those three next to whatever else is on your list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost hybrids in this price range are built to cook one pizza at a time, quickly, on a floor sized for a 16 inch pie. That is a fine oven for a family of four. The Grande Pro Duo pizza oven is built for the night when eight people are waiting, two pizzas are on the floor at once, and the third and fourth go in the moment the first two come out because the tile has not cooled. The larger floor is not a luxury; it is what lets one person keep up with a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is size and weight. A 420 pound oven does not go in the back of a car for a weekend at the lake, and it needs a cart or a base before it arrives.

It has a 75,000 BTU propane burner along the left wall of the chamber and room for a wood fire on the floor on the right, so you can run gas alone for speed and control, wood alone for a traditional fire, or gas to hold the heat with a small wood fire beside it for the flavor.

It cooks one 14 to 16 inch pizza at a time, or two small ones, and it does it at 800°F in about 90 seconds once the floor is up to heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for $2,395 is the oven body, the propane burner, the chimney and cap, the door, the refractory floor, a thermometer in the front face and the adapter that connects it to a standard US propane tank. The price is set by ItaliaForno and is the same at every dealer, so where you buy comes down to who you would rather deal with after the pallet lands on your driveway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Famiglia pizza oven is gas only. It is not a hybrid; wood, charcoal or pellets in the chamber void the warranty, and the one hybrid in the line is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-hybrid-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo\u003c\/a\u003e. It is propane only, with no natural gas option today. And it is an outdoor oven with a two year residential warranty that asks for one thing: cover it when it is not in use. Those three facts decide whether this is the right oven before the rest of the page does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdered from Crustify, the Famiglia pizza oven ships boxed on a pallet from ItaliaForno's Texas warehouse, in stock as we write this, with liftgate delivery to a home driveway for the $95 fee every pallet oven on this site carries. Chat and email go straight to the owner, and the oven is excluded from every sitewide coupon because ItaliaForno holds a strict MSRP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of this page covers how a rear burner cooks, what the 15.7 inch floor does, cooking on it, flame control and propane, where it sits and what it clears, cover and care, how it compares with the other gas ovens we carry, and buying it from Crustify.

That is the layout that lets a gas oven cook like a wood oven: the top of the pizza sees flame and radiant heat from the dome, and the refractory floor, once it has soaked up 30 to 50 minutes of that heat, does the crust from below. Turn the pizza a quarter at a time and the side facing the back wall browns first, exactly as it would beside a wood fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control knob on the front face sets the burner from a low hold to full output, and a pilot flame with a thermocouple keeps it lit in a breeze. Low is where a preheated floor lives between pizzas; high is for the preheat and for pushing the dome back up to color after a run of pies has pulled heat out of it. The thermometer in the front face reads the chamber air, and an infrared thermometer pointed at the tile is the better guide to when the floor is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no ash, no wood to split and no fire to manage. The Famiglia pizza oven lights in about 15 seconds, sits on low while the dough proofs, and is put away with the turn of a valve. That is what gas buys over a wood fired oven, and the flame across the back wall is what keeps it from cooking like a home oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"fam-h2\"\u003eThe 15.7 Inch Floor: One Big Pizza, Done Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor is 15.7 by 15.7 inches of refractory tile, under a dome that rolls the flame forward from the back, behind a door about 13.4 inches wide. Those numbers decide what the Famiglia pizza oven will and will not do. It takes one 14 to 16 inch pizza at a time with room to turn it, or two 8 inch personal pizzas side by side, a 12 inch cast iron skillet, a half sheet of focaccia, or a chicken spatchcocked on a rack. What it will not take is two large pizzas at once; that is the Grande Pro Duo's job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno's own capacity guide says 14 to 16 inch pizzas, up to two at a time. On a 15.7 inch floor, two at a time means two small ones, and we would rather you know that before the oven arrives than after. For a family of four to six, one 16 inch pizza every two minutes is more than the table can eat, which is the point of the name: famiglia is family, and this is the oven sized for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor comparison, the three compact ItaliaForno ovens, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-allegro-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAllegro\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-bambino-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBambino\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-fornello-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFornello\u003c\/a\u003e, cook one 12 to 13 inch pizza at a time on a smaller floor for $700 less, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-hybrid-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo\u003c\/a\u003e takes two large pizzas on a 31.5 inch floor for $2,600 more.

Neapolitan style at 800°F takes about 90 seconds with two turns; a New York style pie at 650°F takes four to five minutes; a thicker pan pizza cooks at 550°F with the burner on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, drop the burner to low and the Famiglia pizza oven is a roasting oven for the rest of the night.

The stretch, the launch and the turn are the same on every oven in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe habit to build is the turn. A rear burner oven browns the side of the pizza that faces the flame, so the peel comes back in at 30 seconds for a quarter turn, again at 60, and the pizza comes out at 90 with an even rim. Once that rhythm is in your hands the Famiglia pizza oven turns out a pizza every two minutes for as long as the dough lasts, with the floor holding its heat between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"fam-h2\"\u003eFlame Control, Ignition and Propane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Famiglia pizza oven is propane only. ItaliaForno does not offer a natural gas option today; if you need one, ask us before you order and we will check current availability with the brand. The oven ships with the adapter that mates its European inlet to a standard US propane tank, and at 30,709 BTU the burner draws about 1.4 pounds of propane an hour at full output, so a 20 pound tank is roughly 14 hours at full burn and a summer of pizza nights on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgnition is a pilot flame with a thermocouple, lit by a push button spark igniter that runs on a single AAA battery, included in the box. Open the tank, turn the knob to the spark mark, press and hold it, press the igniter until the pilot catches, hold the knob about 15 seconds so the thermocouple heats, and release. The main burner lights from the pilot. If the flame ever blows out, the thermocouple shuts the gas, which is why the knob is held on the first light. It is the same sequence on every ItaliaForno oven and it is shown in the setup video further down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGas only means gas only. The Famiglia pizza oven has no firebox and no fire separator, and burning wood, charcoal or pellets in the chamber voids the two year warranty. If a wood fire is part of what you want from an oven, the Grande Pro Duo is the ItaliaForno that does both, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile\u003c\/a\u003e is the wood fired oven at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"fam-h2\"\u003eWhere It Sits: Counter, Table, Balcony, Cart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"fam-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-famiglia-outdoor-living.webp?v=1790310670\" alt=\"ItaliaForno Famiglia gas pizza oven on an outdoor kitchen counter, sized for patios, balconies and townhomes\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 122 pounds and 30 by 25 inches, the Famiglia pizza oven is a countertop oven in the real sense: it sits on an outdoor kitchen counter, a sturdy patio table or a block base.

The smaller compact cart does not support the Famiglia, and ItaliaForno is withdrawing the older photos that showed one on it. Whatever it sits on has to be level, non combustible and rated for the weight; a glass patio table is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manual's clearances are 8 inches from walls on all sides, 20 inches clear on each side of the chimney and 40 inches above it, outdoors in the open. That is the rule that decides a balcony. Most apartment fire codes and many HOAs limit or prohibit propane on a balcony, and an overhang closer than 40 inches rules the spot out on its own, so check both before you buy an oven for one. On a townhome patio or a rooftop deck with open sky, the Famiglia pizza oven is the size that fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving it is a two person lift by the base with the chimney, the door and the floor tiles out, and only when it is cold and disconnected.

Cover it when it is cold, with a breathable outdoor oven cover that fits a 30 by 25 inch body 44 inches tall with the chimney on, or 21 inches tall with the chimney lifted off; ItaliaForno does not list its own cover yet, and we will point you to one that fits when you order. Take the propane cylinder off for long storage and keep it upright and outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a brush on the floor after each cook, a vacuum around the burner every few weeks so crumbs do not block the ports, and a wipe of the stainless front with a stainless cleaner. A thin film of food grade oil on the steel after cleaning is ItaliaForno's own advice against surface rust. Heat discoloration on the stainless is normal and not covered, and the door, the floor tiles, the gaskets and the igniter battery are consumables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"fam-h2\"\u003eWhich Gas Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrustify carries four ovens that run on propane without a wood fire, and they are not the same oven in different shells.

The flame across the back wall rolls over the dome and browns the pizza the way a wood fire would. If a wood fire is part of what you want, the Grande Pro Duo is the ItaliaForno hybrid and the Maximus Mobile is the wood fired oven at this price.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Does it run on natural gas?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eNo. The Famiglia is propane only, and ItaliaForno does not offer a natural gas option today. The oven ships with the adapter that connects its inlet to a standard US propane tank; at 30,709 BTU a 20 pound tank runs roughly 14 hours at full burn and far longer on low.

The Allegro pizza oven assumes a table. At 21.7 by 22.4 inches it takes the corner of a 30 inch balcony table and leaves the rest for the peel and the toppings, and at 100 pounds it is a lift one strong person can manage onto a counter and two can manage anywhere. The chimney lifts off for the winter, which drops the height from 43 inches to 18.3, so it goes under a bench cover or into a closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules are the part nobody puts on a product page. ItaliaForno's manual asks for 8 inches clear of walls on all sides, 20 inches each side of the chimney and 40 inches above it, outdoors in the open. Most apartment and condo fire codes limit or prohibit propane on a balcony, and many HOAs have their own line on it, so check both before you buy any gas oven for one. Where propane is allowed and the sky is open, a rail table, a rooftop deck, a townhome patio or a small backyard is where the Allegro pizza oven belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it is not is an indoor oven. The manual's carbon monoxide warning covers a garage, a tent, a covered porch and any partially enclosed space, and the warranty excludes indoor or enclosed installation. If the only outdoor space is under a roof with walls on three sides, the honest answer is that no propane oven fits it, and we would rather say so here than after delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"alg-h2\"\u003eThe Rounded Dome: Which Compact Is the Allegro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"alg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-allegro-made-in-italy.webp?v=1790312840\" alt=\"Close up of the ItaliaForno Allegro door, thermometer and knob with Made in Italy stamped on the body\" width=\"800\" height=\"1235\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno makes the compact oven in three shells. The Allegro pizza oven is the rounded barrel dome, the shape of a traditional Italian wood oven in black steel with a stainless front; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-bambino-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBambino\u003c\/a\u003e is the octagonal dome, the classic pizzeria profile with the most presence for its size; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-fornello-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFornello\u003c\/a\u003e is the five sided dome, the modern architectural one for a contemporary patio. Same floor, same 23,900 BTU burner, same door, same price. The choice is the look and the space, and ItaliaForno says so itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Allegro's curve is the one that reads smallest on a table, because there are no corners to catch the eye, and it is the one we point to when a buyer's first question is whether the neighbors will notice. Made in Italy is stamped into the body under the knob, above, and the compact ovens in the factory photo further down are Allegros with the protective film still on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"alg-h2\"\u003eA Rear Burner Oven: How the Allegro Cooks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burner in the Allegro pizza oven runs across the back wall of the chamber behind a curved heat deflector, so the flame climbs the back wall and rolls forward across the dome toward the mouth. That is the layout that lets a small gas oven cook like a wood oven: the top of the pizza sees flame and radiant heat from the dome, and the refractory floor, once it has soaked up its preheat, does the crust from below. Turn the pizza a quarter at a time and the side facing the back wall browns first, exactly as it would beside a wood fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control knob on the front face sets the burner from a low hold to full output, and a pilot flame with a thermocouple keeps it lit in a breeze, which matters more on a balcony than anywhere else. Low is where a preheated floor lives between pizzas; high is for the preheat and for pushing the dome back to color after a pizza has pulled heat out of it. The front thermometer reads the chamber air; an infrared thermometer pointed at the tile is the better guide to when the floor is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"alg-h2\"\u003eThe 15.7 Inch Floor: One Pizza at a Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor is 15.7 by 15.7 inches of refractory tile behind a door about 13.4 inches wide. ItaliaForno rates the Allegro pizza oven for 12 to 13 inch pizzas, which is the size that turns easily in the chamber with the burner at the back; a 14 inch fits the floor with less room to turn. It is one pizza at a time, which for two people or a family of four is a pizza every two minutes, the second one going in as the first comes out, with the floor holding its heat between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat floor is the same size as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-famiglia-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFamiglia\u003c\/a\u003e's. What the Famiglia's $700 buys is a wider, heavier body, 30 inches across and 122 pounds, and a 30,709 BTU burner that runs a 16 inch pizza and recovers faster between pies. If the space is there, the Famiglia is the fuller oven; if the space is a balcony, the Allegro pizza oven is the one that fits it, and the pizza is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"alg-h2\"\u003eCooking on the Allegro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"alg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-allegro-patio-cooking.webp?v=1790313329\" alt=\"Pizza coming out of the ItaliaForno Allegro on a patio table with steaks, seafood and vegetables ready\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreheat is 30 to 50 minutes with the door on and the burner on high, and the Allegro's small chamber is usually ready at the low end of that.

Neapolitan style at 800°F takes about 90 seconds with two quarter turns; a New York style pie at 650°F takes four to five minutes; a pan pizza cooks at 550°F with the burner on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, drop the burner to low and the Allegro pizza oven is a small roasting oven for the rest of the night: a skillet of shrimp, a tray of vegetables, two steaks in cast iron, a loaf of bread at 500°F with a pan of water for steam. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafety.gov\/print\/pdf\/node\/10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFoodSafety.gov\u003c\/a\u003e puts poultry at 165°F and pork at 145°F with a rest, and a probe is the only way to know a roast in a 600°F oven is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cvideo class=\"alg-video\" controls preload=\"metadata\" playsinline width=\"800\" poster=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-allegro-front-view.webp?v=1790312960\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/2424101ec1914b4ea215873279931208.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003eHow to make a pizza in an ItaliaForno pizza oven.\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"alg-cap\"\u003eItaliaForno's own walk through of a first pizza, from dough to the oven floor.

ItaliaForno does not offer a natural gas option today; if you need one, ask us before you order and we will check current availability with the brand. The oven ships with the adapter that mates its European inlet to a standard US propane tank, and at 23,900 BTU the burner draws about 1.1 pounds of propane an hour at full output, so a 20 pound tank is roughly 18 hours at full burn and a whole summer of pizza nights on low. On a balcony, that is one tank a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgnition is a pilot flame with a thermocouple, lit by a push button spark igniter that runs on a single AAA battery, included in the box. Open the tank, turn the knob to the spark mark, press and hold it, press the igniter until the pilot catches, hold the knob about 15 seconds so the thermocouple heats, and release. The main burner lights from the pilot. If the flame ever blows out, the thermocouple shuts the gas. Gas only means gas only: wood, charcoal or pellets in the chamber void the warranty, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-hybrid-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo\u003c\/a\u003e is the ItaliaForno that burns wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"alg-h2\"\u003eKeeping It Outside: Cover and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Allegro pizza oven lives outdoors, and the warranty's corrosion clause is written for an oven left uncovered through a wet season. Cover it when it is cold, with a breathable outdoor oven cover that fits a 22 by 23 inch body 43 inches tall with the chimney on, or 18 inches with it off; ItaliaForno does not list its own cover yet, and we will point you to one that fits when you order. Take the propane cylinder off for long storage and keep it upright and outdoors, never in a closet or a stairwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a brush on the floor after each cook, a vacuum around the burner every few weeks so crumbs do not block the ports, and a wipe of the stainless front. A thin film of food grade oil on the steel after cleaning is ItaliaForno's own advice against surface rust.

It is 21.7 inches wide and 22.4 deep, 100 pounds, made in Italy, and it runs on a standard propane tank through a 23,900 BTU burner across the back wall. It cooks one pizza at a time, rated by ItaliaForno for 12 to 13 inch pies, in about 90 seconds at 800°F once the floor is up to heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for $1,695 is the oven body with its faceted black dome and stainless front, the propane burner, the chimney and cap, the door, the refractory floor, a thermometer in the front face and the adapter that connects it to a US propane tank.

The Bambino pizza oven is built to be that thing. At 21.7 by 22.4 inches it sits on the end of the table or on a 24 inch side table, and at 100 pounds it is a lift one strong person can manage onto a counter and two can carry through a townhome to the back. The chimney and cap lift off in seconds, dropping the height from 44 inches to 21.3, so it fits under a bench cover or on a shelf in the shed for the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules are the part nobody puts on a product page. ItaliaForno's manual asks for 8 inches clear of walls on all sides, 20 inches each side of the chimney and 40 inches above it, outdoors in the open. Most apartment and condo fire codes limit or prohibit propane on a balcony, and many HOAs have their own line on it, so check both before you buy any gas oven for one. Where propane is allowed and the sky is open, a patio, a deck, a townhome yard or a rooftop is where the Bambino pizza oven belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it is not is an indoor oven. The manual's carbon monoxide warning covers a garage, a tent, a screened porch and any partially enclosed space, and the warranty excludes indoor or enclosed installation. If the only outdoor space is under a roof with walls on three sides, the honest answer is that no propane oven fits it, and we would rather say so here than after delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"bam-h2\"\u003eThe Octagonal Dome: Which Compact Is the Bambino\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bam-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-bambino-made-in-italy.webp?v=1790314790\" alt=\"Close up of the ItaliaForno Bambino octagonal dome, door and thermometer with Made in Italy stamped on the body\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno makes the compact oven in three shells. The Bambino pizza oven is the octagonal dome, eight flat facets in textured black steel meeting a stainless front, the shape of a pizzeria oven scaled to a patio table and the one with the most presence of the three; the Allegro is the rounded barrel dome, the softest shape and the one that reads smallest; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-fornello-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFornello\u003c\/a\u003e is the five sided dome, the modern architectural one. Same floor, same 23,900 BTU burner, same door, same $1,695. The choice is the look, and ItaliaForno says so on its own pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe octagon is the shape to pick when the oven is meant to be seen: an outdoor kitchen counter where it sits beside the grill, a patio where it is the centerpiece of the table, a deck where it is the thing guests walk over to. The facets catch light differently from every angle, which is why it photographs the way it does. Made in Italy is stamped into the body beside the knob, above, and it is on every one that leaves the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"bam-h2\"\u003eA Rear Burner Oven: How the Bambino Cooks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burner in the Bambino pizza oven runs across the back wall of the chamber behind a curved heat deflector, so the flame climbs the back wall and rolls forward across the dome toward the mouth. That is the layout that lets a small gas oven cook like a wood oven: the top of the pizza sees flame and radiant heat from the dome, and the refractory floor, once it has soaked up its preheat, does the crust from below. Turn the pizza a quarter at a time and the side facing the back wall browns first, exactly as it would beside a wood fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control knob on the front face sets the burner from a low hold to full output, and a pilot flame with a thermocouple keeps it lit in a breeze, which matters on a deck. Low is where a preheated floor lives between pizzas; high is for the preheat and for pushing the dome back to color after a pizza has pulled heat out of it. The front thermometer reads the chamber air; an infrared thermometer pointed at the tile is the better guide to when the floor is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"bam-h2\"\u003eThe 15.7 Inch Floor: One Pizza at a Time, or Two Small Ones\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bam-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-bambino-two-small-pizzas.webp?v=1790314909\" alt=\"Two small pizzas cooking side by side on the ItaliaForno Bambino floor with the rear burner lit\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor is 15.7 by 15.7 inches of refractory tile behind a door about 13.4 inches wide. ItaliaForno rates the Bambino pizza oven for 12 to 13 inch pizzas, the size that turns easily in the chamber with the burner at the back; a 14 inch fits the floor with less room to turn, and two 8 inch personal pizzas fit side by side, which is what the photo above shows. For two people or a family of four that is a pizza every two minutes, the second going in as the first comes out, with the floor holding its heat between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat floor is the same size as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-famiglia-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFamiglia\u003c\/a\u003e's.

ItaliaForno does not offer a natural gas option today; if you need one, ask us before you order and we will check current availability with the brand. The oven ships with the adapter that mates its European inlet to a standard US propane tank, and at 23,900 BTU the burner draws about 1.1 pounds of propane an hour at full output, so a 20 pound tank is roughly 18 hours at full burn and a whole summer of pizza nights on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgnition is a pilot flame with a thermocouple, lit by a push button spark igniter that runs on a single AAA battery, included in the box. Open the tank, turn the knob to the spark mark, press and hold it, press the igniter until the pilot catches, hold the knob about 15 seconds so the thermocouple heats, and release. The main burner lights from the pilot. If the flame ever blows out, the thermocouple shuts the gas. Gas only means gas only: wood, charcoal or pellets in the chamber void the warranty, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-hybrid-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo\u003c\/a\u003e is the ItaliaForno that burns wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"bam-h2\"\u003eKeeping It Outside: Cover and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bambino pizza oven lives outdoors, and the warranty's corrosion clause is written for an oven left uncovered through a wet season. Cover it when it is cold, with a breathable outdoor oven cover that fits a 22 by 23 inch body 44 inches tall with the chimney on, or 21 inches with it off; ItaliaForno does not list its own cover yet, and we will point you to one that fits when you order.

Fit the four feet, or set the oven on its table, counter or cart. Slide the refractory tiles into the floor without forcing them. Seat the chimney in its collar on top of the oven and bend the four prongs of the cap inward to hold it. Push the control knob onto its shaft on the front. Inside the back of the chamber, hang the curved heat deflector on the two studs above the burner with its keyhole slots.

The Fornello pizza oven is built for both. At 21.7 by 22.4 inches it takes the end of a counter or the corner of a patio table, and at 100 pounds one strong person can lift it onto a counter and two can carry it through the house. The chimney and cap lift off in seconds, dropping the height from 44 inches to 18.4, so it fits under a bench cover for the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules are the part nobody puts on a product page. ItaliaForno's manual asks for 8 inches clear of walls on all sides, 20 inches each side of the chimney and 40 inches above it, outdoors in the open. Most apartment and condo fire codes limit or prohibit propane on a balcony, and many HOAs have their own line on it, so check both before you buy any gas oven for one. Where propane is allowed and the sky is open, a townhome patio, a counter beside the grill, a deck or a rooftop is where the Fornello pizza oven belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it is not is an indoor oven. The manual's carbon monoxide warning covers a garage, a tent, a screened porch and any partially enclosed space, and the warranty excludes indoor or enclosed installation. If the only outdoor space is under a roof with walls on three sides, the honest answer is that no propane oven fits it, and we would rather say so here than after delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"frn-h2\"\u003eThe Five Sided Dome: Which Compact Is the Fornello\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"frn-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-fornello-made-in-italy.webp?v=1790316617\" alt=\"Close up of the ItaliaForno Fornello five sided dome, door and thermometer with Made in Italy stamped on the body\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno makes the compact oven in three shells. The Fornello pizza oven is the five sided dome, two straight walls and a peaked top in textured black steel meeting a stainless front, the silhouette of a traditional brick oven cut in flat planes, which is why ItaliaForno calls it the one that is classic and modern at once; the Allegro is the rounded barrel dome, the softest shape and the one that reads smallest; the Bambino is the octagonal dome, the one with the most presence. Same floor, same 23,900 BTU burner, same door, same $1,695. The choice is the look, and ItaliaForno says so on its own pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five sided dome is the shape to pick when the oven has to sit beside a grill and look like it belongs there: the straight sides line up with a counter, a cabinet or a wall the way the round and octagonal domes do not, and the peaked top reads as an oven from across the yard. Made in Italy is stamped into the body beside the knob, above, and it is on every one that leaves the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"frn-h2\"\u003eA Rear Burner Oven: How the Fornello Cooks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burner in the Fornello pizza oven runs across the back wall of the chamber behind a curved heat deflector, so the flame climbs the back wall and rolls forward across the dome toward the mouth. That is the layout that lets a small gas oven cook like a wood oven: the top of the pizza sees flame and radiant heat from the dome, and the refractory floor, once it has soaked up its preheat, does the crust from below. Turn the pizza a quarter at a time and the side facing the back wall browns first, exactly as it would beside a wood fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peaked dome gives the flame a little more height to roll under than the barrel dome does, which is not a difference you taste, but it is the reason the three shells cook the same pizza: the chamber under each is the same 14.8 inch wide box on the same 15.7 inch floor. The front thermometer reads the chamber air; an infrared thermometer pointed at the tile is the better guide to when the floor is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"frn-h2\"\u003eThe 15.7 Inch Floor: One Pizza at a Time, or Two Small Ones\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor is 15.7 by 15.7 inches of refractory tile behind a door about 13.4 inches wide. ItaliaForno rates the Fornello pizza oven for 12 to 13 inch pizzas, the size that turns easily in the chamber with the burner at the back; a 14 inch fits the floor with less room to turn, and two 8 inch personal pizzas fit side by side. For two people or a family of four that is a pizza every two minutes, the second going in as the first comes out, with the floor holding its heat between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat floor is the same size as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-famiglia-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFamiglia\u003c\/a\u003e's. What the Famiglia's $700 buys is a wider, heavier body, 30 inches across and 122 pounds, and a 30,709 BTU burner that runs a 16 inch pizza and recovers faster between pies. If the space is a full backyard, the Famiglia is the fuller oven; if the space is a townhome patio, the Fornello pizza oven is the one that fits it, and the pizza is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"frn-h2\"\u003eCooking on the Fornello\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreheat is 30 to 50 minutes with the door on and the burner on high, and the Fornello's small chamber is usually ready at the low end of that. The oven will reach 1,000°F; ItaliaForno asks that you cook at 850°F or below for the life of the tiles and the gaskets. Neapolitan style at 800°F takes about 90 seconds with two quarter turns; a New York style pie at 650°F takes four to five minutes; a pan pizza cooks at 550°F with the burner on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, drop the burner to low and the Fornello pizza oven is a small roasting oven for the rest of the night: a skillet of shrimp, a tray of vegetables, two steaks in cast iron, a loaf of bread at 500°F with a pan of water for steam. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafety.gov\/print\/pdf\/node\/10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFoodSafety.gov\u003c\/a\u003e puts poultry at 165°F and pork at 145°F with a rest, and a probe is the only way to know a roast in a 600°F oven is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cvideo class=\"frn-video\" controls preload=\"metadata\" playsinline width=\"800\" poster=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-fornello-compact-gas-pizza-oven.webp?v=1790316565\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/2424101ec1914b4ea215873279931208.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003eHow to make a pizza in an ItaliaForno pizza oven.\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"frn-cap\"\u003eItaliaForno's own walk through of a first pizza, from dough to the oven floor.

ItaliaForno does not offer a natural gas option today; if you need one, ask us before you order and we will check current availability with the brand. The oven ships with the adapter for a standard US propane tank, and at 23,900 BTU the burner draws about 1.1 pounds of propane an hour at full output, so a 20 pound tank is roughly 18 hours at full burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIgnition is a pilot flame with a thermocouple, lit by a push button spark igniter that runs on a single AAA battery, included in the box. Open the tank, turn the knob to the spark mark, press and hold it, press the igniter until the pilot catches, hold the knob about 15 seconds so the thermocouple heats, and release. The main burner lights from the pilot. If the flame ever blows out, the thermocouple shuts the gas. Gas only means gas only: wood, charcoal or pellets in the chamber void the warranty, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-hybrid-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo\u003c\/a\u003e is the ItaliaForno that burns wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"frn-h2\"\u003eKeeping It Outside: Cover and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fornello pizza oven lives outdoors, and the warranty's corrosion clause is written for an oven left uncovered through a wet season.

Take the propane cylinder off for long storage and keep it upright and outdoors, never in a shed or a stairwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a brush on the floor after each cook, a vacuum around the burner every few weeks so crumbs do not block the ports, and a wipe of the stainless front. A thin film of food grade oil on the steel after cleaning is ItaliaForno's own advice against surface rust, and the flat planes of the dome wipe down faster than a curve. Heat discoloration on the stainless is normal and not covered, and the door, the floor tiles, the gaskets and the igniter battery are consumables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"frn-h2\"\u003eWhich Compact Gas Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the Fornello pizza oven against the other gas ovens on this site that fit a small space, so it is chosen against the others rather than in a vacuum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"frn-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOven\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFootprint and weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFloor and capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaliaForno Fornello (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.7 x 22.4 in, 100 lb, 44 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.7 x 15.7 in; one 12 to 13 in pizza\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe five sided dome; a townhome patio or outdoor kitchen counter, made in Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-allegro-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eItaliaForno Allegro\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame compact body, rounded dome, 43 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame floor and burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe rounded shape, for a balcony or rail table\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-bambino-compact-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eItaliaForno Bambino\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame compact body, octagonal dome, 44 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame floor and burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe octagonal shape, for a small patio or deck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-famiglia-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eItaliaForno Famiglia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 25.2 in, 122 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.7 x 15.7 in; one 14 to 16 in pizza, 30,709 BTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe same floor in a wider, stronger oven for a full backyard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-versa-16-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHalo Versa 16\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePortable, ships parcel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 in rotating stone; one pizza\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe entry gas oven, with a natural gas kit available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"frn-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"frn-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItaliaForno Fornello (this page)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e21.7 x 22.4 in, 100 lb, 44 in tall. 15.7 x 15.7 in floor, one 12 to 13 in pizza.

ItaliaForno recommends cooking at 850°F or below for the life of the tiles and gaskets, which is still Neapolitan territory: about 90 seconds a pizza at 800°F with two quarter turns.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Can one person move it?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eThe body is 100 pounds, so one strong person can lift it onto a counter and two can carry it through the house to the patio; take the chimney, the door and the floor tiles out first and lift by the base. It is not a carry it to the park oven. For a patio without a counter or table, the ItaliaForno compact oven cart puts it at working height on four wheels with a shelf for the tank underneath.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Does it need a cover?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eYes. The two year warranty excludes corrosion from weather exposure without a protective cover, so a cover is a condition, not a suggestion. ItaliaForno does not list its own cover yet; any breathable outdoor oven cover that fits a 22 by 23 inch body 44 inches tall with the chimney on will do, and we will point you to one when you order.
