Our smallest, residential, wood-fired pizza oven – the Margherita – was designed to cook perfect, Italian wood-fired pizza. The Margherita heats up its floor surface to 750°F in just 30 minutes, allowing you to create pizza cooked to perfection via the wood-fired stone. For Neapolitan pizza lovers, the optional Saputo stones will enable you to cook pizza at 850°F / 454.4°C without burning the bottom of the dough. Consuming 5x less wood than a traditional ceramic pizza oven, the Margherita is not only efficient, it is also compact and portable, making it an ideal choice for outdoor entertaining. In addition, the Margherita also excels at preparing meats, veggies, breads, and desserts. And because it's a Fontana, you can rest assured that it's engineered to perform and built to last.

Chimney and chimney cap may vary for customers due to recent design updates.

  • High-Temperature Resistance: Made from unique alluvial clay and refractory material, Saputo stones can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C, providing durability and long-lasting performance.
  • Perfect Moisture Absorption: Boasting a distinct mineral content and exceptional moisture absorption, Saputo stones create a crispy, golden crust while preventing sogginess.

My new Margherita Oven

"I had built a wood fired clay oven at our old house about 10 years ago that I truly enjoyed. Unfortunately I had to leave it behind when we moved. I knew I needed a wood fired oven In my life and decided to get a pre-made one. After doing a lot of research I knew Fontana Forni was the one I wanted. I am in an early user learning curve right now. I’ve fired it up six times now and am getting better at maintaining the temperature I need for what I’m cooking. That is a challenge."

We love our pizza oven!

"Our pizza oven gets used very frequently. It's great when hosting guests and parties. The pizza quality is amazing and it's a fun activity too. And it looks great in the back yard. I highly recommend Fontana. It's a very high quality product."

"We purchased this oven and love it. We have used it quite a bit and have had people over for pizza. I am going to try to cook other things in it. We love it!"

Best Pizza Oven!

"I did a TON of research when trying to decide what pizza oven I wanted to buy for my phone. I visited every BBQ store I could find, read all the online information sites and reviews, and even called Fontana and a competitor to ask further questions about the ovens. Fontana is a family run business and that is exactly what I got when I called! I believe it was the son I talked to. He spent 30 minutes answering ALL of my questions!!! He told me all of the pros/cons of his and other products, was super honest and insightful. I went with the wood burning Margherita and it has been INCREDIBLE!!!! Such a quality unit that produces amazing pizzas and was worth every penny! In fact, we recently sold our home (unfortunately the buyers requested the pizza oven as part of the deal) and one of the first things we're looking forward to buying once our new home is built is another Fontana pizza oven! They're the BEST!!!"

Q&A

I see that the oven is insulated. Does that mean I can have this in a outdoor kitchen close to house siding? Or will radiant heat from the back and side damage it
Hi Matt! Yes, you are right! Our ovens are very well insulated. Our ovens have a 1 inch clearance to combustible. Please call us if we can help answer any more questions for you! We'll be glad to help. 1-877-842-9822
I have my oven ready to use outdoors in the winter. Is it OK to use outside in freezing temperatures??
Hi Franco! Yes our ovens work great in the freezing weather! We also offer premium covers if you prefer to keep them covered when not in use.
Can you extend the exhaust riser and penetrate a roof
Our ovens are primarily designed to be used under an open sky. That said, we've had customers who have installed a custom length chimney through a roof with great success. As far as the oven's functionality, any extra chimney pipe that is added above the damper control doesn't affect the oven's performance. If you need measurements, we have technical drawings that can be found in the specifications section on this page.

Wood Fired Pizza Oven Using Superior Materials

100% Designed & Made in Italy

Since 1978, our Italian master craftsmen have held themselves to the most exacting standards of quality construction. They pride themselves on building the most robust, durable oven available. We know that there is no other oven on the market that combines quality, performance, convenience, craftsmanship, & durability the way a Fontana oven does.

Several brands on the market manufacture their ovens overseas using inexperienced laborers that tend to cut costs on materials and construction which results in a less durable & inferior performing product.

Superior Construction & Materials

Fontana's wood-fired ovens are constructed using 2.5 millimeter 441 (interior) & 304 (exterior) stainless steel, 12 centimeter thick insulation, and corrosion-resistant, powder-coated metal. We also utilize solid weld construction when assembling our ovens, this yields a more durable product that will withstand high temperature applications.

Many other brands use lighter, cheaper materials, lower-grade steel, and synthetic insulation, affecting heat retention and durability. Additionally, some other manufacturers will cut costs by using spot weld construction which results in a less durable oven.
