Ordered on its own it ships by freight at the rate shown at checkout. A Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is the difference between a Prime that lives on one block base for good and a Prime that rolls to the pool, the driveway, or the far end of the patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page covers what the Bello is, how the open frame holds the oven, what the shelf, rail, and lower deck are for, where a 500 pound cart can and cannot go, how the finish is made, what height it puts the cooking floor at, how it compares with the Mobile's smaller Woody stand, and how the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePrime cover\u003c\/a\u003e fits over it.

What makes it the Bello rather than a generic cart is the pair of things on the sides: a slatted hardwood shelf on one end that folds out on steel brackets and folds down flat when you do not need it, and a steel rail on the opposite end for hanging the peel, the brush, and the turner where they are in reach but out of the way. The Maximus badge on the leg is APO's mark, not a sticker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a table with an oven on top. The top of the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is a frame with a square opening, as above, and the Prime's base plate drops into that opening and sits on the frame's inside lip. That matters more than it sounds, and it gets its own section next, but the short version is that the oven cannot slide on the cart. Roll the cart across a patio and the oven goes with it, square and centered, without straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO calls it a portable pizza oven stand, and that is the point of a Maximus Prime cart. The Prime is portable in the sense that no masonry is poured, but at 400 pounds it does not move again once it is on a block base. On the Bello it moves whenever you like: out from the wall to cook, back under the eave to cover, across to the far side of the deck when the wind turns. That is the case for the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand over a base, and for most Prime owners it is the deciding one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eThe Open Frame: How the Prime Seats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-black-prime-studio.webp?v=1790189276\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime seated in the Bello stand's top frame, studio view with the wood shelf extended and the lower shelf below\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at where the Black Prime meets the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand above. The oven's base plate is 39 inches square; the Bello's top frame is 101 centimeters, a shade under 40 inches, on the outside, with the opening inside it. The plate rests on the frame's inner ledge and the oven's weight is carried on four sides down four legs, not on a shelf in the middle. Nothing bolts; the 400 pounds of oven is what holds it, and a large pizza oven stand designed for that load does not need more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things follow from the frame. First, the Prime sits low on the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand, with the base plate roughly level with the top of the frame rather than stacked on top of it, which is why the whole rig looks like one piece of equipment rather than an oven perched on a table. Second, the underside of the oven is open to the air through the frame, so heat that reaches the base plate has somewhere to go instead of soaking into a deck. The cart's lower shelf sits 13 inches below the frame, well clear of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat open underside also decides how 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 fits. Its drawstring hem drops below the base plate and cinches under the oven, between the plate and the frame, which is the tightest fit the cover has on any base. On a block counter the hem has to gather around the oven's foot instead. Cart plus cover is the combination APO designed together, and it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eShelf, Rail, and the Lower Deck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-front-wood-shelf-rail.webp?v=1790189102\" alt=\"Bello pizza oven stand straight on, wood side shelf extended to the left, utensil rail to the right, Maximus badge on the leg\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood shelf on the Bello folds out to 36 centimeters, about 14 inches, and that is the landing zone: the pizza comes off the peel onto a board there, the next one is built there, the ceramic dish waits there. It is hardwood slats on steel brackets, so a hot peel can rest on it and rain runs through it. Fold it down and the cart is 39 inches wide again for storage or for rolling through a gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rail on the opposite side of the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand, at the right in the photo, is a plain steel bar with the ends turned up, and it holds hooks or hangs tools directly by their handle holes. Peel on the rail, brush on the rail, and the shelf stays clear for food. It also makes a decent handle for pushing the cart, which the flat sides of the frame do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower deck of the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is a full steel shelf, 50 centimeters, just under 20 inches, off the ground, with 13 inches of clearance under the top frame. It carries a night's wood in 8 to 10 inch splits, the ash holder, and the spare tile, and it is where the cover's storage bag and the stowed chimney live while you cook. Keep the wood at the back and the deck stays a work surface at the front. Nothing on it should sit against the underside of the oven, since that is where the frame vents heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWheels, and Where a 500 Pound Cart Can Go\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-black-prime-hillside.webp?v=1790189184\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime on the Bello stand outdoors with the wood side shelf out, pine hillside behind\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOven plus stand is about 495 pounds rolling, and this pizza oven cart with wheels carries it on four casters, at least two of them locking. On a hard, level surface, pavers, concrete, a composite deck, artificial turf laid on a base, one person moves the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand with the oven on it and the rail as a handle. The Black Prime above lives on asphalt at the edge of a pine hillside and rolls to the house when the weather turns. That is normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat a Maximus Prime pizza oven stand will not do is cross a lawn, gravel, or a lip taller than the caster. Five hundred pounds on four small wheels sinks into turf and stalls on stone, and the frame is not built to be dragged. Plan the Bello for the paved part of the yard, lock the casters before you light the oven, and never roll it with a fire in it or with the door off and coals on the floor. A cold oven rolls; a hot one stays where it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight and threshold matter when the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand goes indoors and out. At 35.6 inches to the frame and about 45 inches to the top of the chimney with the oven on, it clears a standard door but not the frame of most sliders with the chimney fitted, so lift the flue and cap off before the cart goes through a doorway into a garage or a covered porch. The chimney is off for the cover anyway, so most owners fall into the habit of stowing it on the lower deck whenever the oven moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eBlack Steel and the Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-red-prime-fence-front-angle.webp?v=1790189342\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime on the Bello stand in front of a white slat fence, three quarter view with the wood shelf out\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is welded steel, powder coated black, and made in Portugal alongside the oven. Powder coating is a dry finish baked onto the metal rather than a paint that dries on it, which the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/powdercoating.org\/page\/About\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePowder Coating Institute\u003c\/a\u003e describes as a tougher and more chip resistant film than liquid paint for exactly this kind of outdoor steel. In practice it means the frame shrugs off a dropped peel, a hot ash pan, and a wet winter, and it wipes clean with soapy water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo honest notes on a black steel Maximus Prime cart. A powder coat is tough but it is not armor; a deep scratch to bare metal on a stand that lives uncovered by the sea will show rust at the scratch, and touching it with an exterior enamel is a two minute job worth doing. And black steel in full sun gets hot to the touch by afternoon, so the wood shelf is where hands go, and the rail is where the tools hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Red Prime above the black frame reads as a base and the oven does the talking, which is how APO intends it; on a Black Prime the two are one color and the rig looks like a single machine. Either way the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is the only stand APO makes in this size, so the choice is the oven's color, not the cart's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWorking Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven stand's frame is 35.6 inches high, the Prime's tile floor sits a few inches above its base plate, and the plate sits at the frame, so the cooking floor lands at roughly 38 to 40 inches on the Bello. That is where the Prime product page told buyers to aim for a block base, and it is no accident: it is peel height for most adults, high enough to see the back of a 35 inch floor without stooping and low enough to launch without lifting the elbow. A base lower than 30 inches means bending all night; taller than 40 hides the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bello's shelf sits at the same height as the frame, so the board the pizza lands on is level with the oven mouth and the peel slides across rather than down. Small thing, and the thing that separates a Maximus Prime pizza oven stand designed for this oven from a stainless prep table pressed into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eBello Versus the Mobile's Woody Stand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO makes two carts for its two portable ovens, and they are not interchangeable.

The Mobile has its own cart, the Woody, at 27.5 inches. The two ovens share a body design but not a footprint, so each has its own stand and neither swaps. If you inherited an oven and are not sure which it is, measure the base: 39 inches is a Prime.\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 the oven bolt to the stand?\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, and it does not need to. The Prime's base plate seats into the Bello's open top frame and rests on an inner ledge on all four sides, so the oven's own 400 pounds holds it square and it cannot slide when the cart rolls. Nothing on the stand needs tools.

Oven and stand together are about 495 pounds, so it rolls on pavers, concrete, a composite deck, or turf on a firm base, and it will not cross a lawn or gravel or climb a lip taller than the caster.

The frame is 35.6 inches high, the base plate sits at the frame, and the Prime's tile floor is a few inches above the plate.
