Q. What is in the forno de pizza kit?
A. Our forno de pizza kit contains everything you need to make great wood fire cooked pizzas. It comprises a base and dome oven, the base has a lining of firebricks which provides the cooking hearth. A pizza peel (AKA a pizza paddle). Our peels are made with an aluminum head and a wooden handle. These we believe are easier to use and more robust than wooden pizza peels. A thermometer is also included and in the full oven kit a stand. It is of course a wood fired pizza oven so we also include a few logs to get you going. Just provide a match and and pizza or two.
Q. How many pizzas can I cook at one time?
A. This is not really a factor. Pizzas cook so fast, 90 seconds! Far quicker than you can make them! But if you really want to you can get up to 3 medium 10″ pizzas on the cooking hearth.
Q. How long does it take to warm up?
A. Typically around an hour. But if the ambient temperature is high and your timber and oven are also very dry it can be as fast as 30 minutes.
Q. How hot does the oven get?
A. Typically pizza cooking temperature is around 350-400C! Phew!
Q. Do they really taste better than ordinary oven cooked pizza?
A. Oh boy you really can’t imagine, light and crispy bases, cheese like molten lava, little burnt speckles on top! There is just no comparison. Better than most restaurants can deliver.
Q. What sort of base do I need?
A. If you are also buying one of our stands any solid base will do the job. A patio is fine, grass of course would not support the weight. Naturally it should be relatively level. If you are buying just the oven a good sturdy square base around 1000/1200mm high is fine.
Q. What else can you cook in the Forno?
A. When its searingly hot (pizza cooking temperature) anything that you would normally cook fast. Naan breads, tandoori style chicken, roasted peppers, meat and veggie skewers and of course fish. Make sure you use metal skewers! As its cools down, jacket potatoes wrapped in foil, breads, meats and pies. Try filo pastry baskets. As it gets even cooler the slow roast meats are the order of the day. You can even use it as a smoker!
Q. What is PizzaForno envy?
A. When you have one and friends don’t.

For the Summer and the Winter !
Just like a chiminea our outdoor pizza oven gives of a massive amount of heat in use. Although the actual dome is cool enough to touch! This means you can comfortably extend your pizza cooking into the winter months! Just keep it topped up with logs, warm and cozy.

“For all foodies out there!
You will not find a better way to cook outdoors than the PizzaForno. You simply cannot better the taste of food cooked in this traditional wood fired pizza oven.
Pizzas in a couple of minutes and cooked to perfection! It’s the perfect size for us. If you have never tried pizza cooked in a wood fired oven you are in for a treat.

Its quick and easy enough to cook just a few, but we recently catered for a party of 20 with no problem at all!

“I have now had my Pizzaforno, a wood fired pizza oven for a season and I love it.
Its used as much as the UK weather allows, which is surprising often! Only rain stops play. I love the sound it makes as it warms up.
The family love it. Surprising how many of the kids friends appear once word has gone around.
They make their own pizzas, competing over who can make the most circular base and tailor their toppings to individual taste. The taste of pizzas cooked in this wood fired way is very special. Pizza cooked in a wood fired oven cannot be bettered.
The best party so far bonfire night! Jacket potatoes, pizza, tandoori chicken and warmth from the oven. It does not get much better!
