Authentic Pizza Ovens Traditional Brick Pizzaioli, Wood Fire Outdoor Oven

Got this delivered yesterday and got it in place in the afternoon and did my first curing fire last night. I am fairly impressed so far - just a small fire last night, following the curing schedule/process and this morning, a good 8 or so hours after the fire was out, the oven is still warm. No cracks..... ....yet :-) .It comes complete - ready to go (after the curing for any residual moisture), so you have to be ready to move it. It is HEAVY, cumbersome, and needs equipment made for the job. A forklift (you can rent one probably for 60 - 80 bucks, or an engine hoist if you have a smooth surface. Make sure your yard is accessible (the oven is indeed 39 inches wide, and on a pallet that is probably 44 - 48 inches - will it fit thru your gate?). If you get a fork lift, is your ground hard (I mean HARD = ask me why I think that is really important.Great oven. I expect to have the curing done on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Pizza, my place, this weekend - you bring the beer!!EDIT/ADDED: used the oven a few times now - very VERY pleased with the performance. A real quality "old world" job here.... Perfect pizza everytime, the real deal. Both times, a full 24 hours AFTER the last piece of wood was added, the oven was still maintaining a 200 - 250 degree temp. That was in an ambient air temp (overnight) in the 40's - so I would say the oven is VERY WELL insulated.

First time that I use it crack everywhere, bottom over the oven don't cook too well .

We got one of these two years ago. We did not buy it from Amazon. It was delivered and we cured it properly and were able to enjoy it a half dozen times. After the 2018 winter the inside tile where you cook the pizza on cracked apart and we have now been shipped two different replacement tiles, both wrong. We live in the Northeast and I’m guessing the cold winter affected it. It cracked on the outside but we were expecting that- it’s the cooking area that is the problem. Update: It is now the first day of spring 2020. We have received replacement tiles and contacted a contractor to replace them. He said that the tiles broke because the outside of the oven isn’t covered and wants to build a 12,000 cover around the oven. So this oven is getting more and more costly. I just want to have the tiles replaced, so I have to find someone to do that. Stay tuned.

An intimating purchase indeed, but after much research, learning about what is required in terms of base structure and how it will be delivered and placed was an adventure. Having a meticulous contractor who focused on making this pizza oven happen was helpful. We rented a Gantry to lift and place the oven on it's base mostly because of the base we built. An engine hoist would have worked but not for us. But once that was figured out, and with the help of Penny, I am very satified and look forward to using it often. I followed the instructions to curing the oven. We bought some accesories and like the quality. After a few tries, I can say I have figured out the heat and cooking method. Now on to creating my own pizza menu.

The oven is exactly what we expected- we've made dozens of pizza's over the past coupe of weeks and while we are working on getting the hang of how to use this and control the temperature- it's awesome! The customer service has been amazing. Penny was responsive and a huge asset to the company.

I revived pizza oven, still building stand and table. Oven looks good still waiting to try it out.

I definitley did my research and Authentic Pizza Ovens did not disappoint. From the first contact, the cusotmer serivce was beyond exceptional as was the oven I purchased.This is handmade, beautiful and completely authentic. My family and I have enjoyed every minute. Pizza is amazing but we have branched out and cooked a huge aray of foods from our Christmas dinner to breads and desserts.I couldn't recommend this oven and this company enough!!
