      More than a pizza oven

      "I got this to use as a staple in my outdoor kitchen, for a place that my family can use too. I have my family top their pizza as they desire and we cook together. I love the work and the process of keeping the fire going and the art that it takes. I use it to cook cornbread, and sides for holiday cooking. And it works great as a warming oven to my offset smoker. Totally worth the price. Build quality is top tier."

      Andrew H. (5/5)

      Love My Margherita! (My wife’s name too)

      "Received my new pizza oven and had it fired up within two hours. Made my first pizza and it turned out great. By far Exceeding my expectations! I’m extremely satisfied."

      Richard M. (5/5)

      Love the oven!

      "We love our new oven. We went with the red color. The oven arrived as expected (minus the free accessory kit), however, once we got in touch with customer service, they sent it out right away. This oven easily gets to over 800F and retains heat VERY well. It is heavy and will require at least two capable people to lift onto the base."

      Michael M. (4/5)

      "Love it, I did my first pizza and turn out really good, thank you!"

      Vicky (5/5)

      Great oven

      "This was a very quick transaction, including shipping. This is a heavy oven, so we used three people to load in my SUV to move it to the final location on a stainless steel table on my patio.Heat retention is very good. We did have 3 loose screws on the bottom that scratched my table during the install, but hoisted it up and got them tightened. I've completed 6 cooks so far and have done pizzas, meats, casseroles and corn on the cob."

      Raymond N. (5/5)

      Very nice and good product

      Outstanding pizza oven!

      "Since purchasing our Fontana Margherita Wood-Fired Oven back in 2015, it has become our go-to “party night” favorite among family and friends. There’s nothing better than gathering around the oven, after taking turns customizing pizzas, and seeing what beautiful works of art emerge. We can count on our Fontana oven for consistent cooking temperature and performance. We have recommended this oven to countless friends."

      Michael M. (5/5)

      Oven #2

      "This this the 2nd oven I have purchased. I have one in Maine and in North Carolina where I have access to hardwood to bake bread, roast chickens, roast garden fresh vegetables and an occasional pizza."

      Natalie M. (5/5)

      Love this oven!

      "Great experience from ordering to the first firing! Customer service was so friendly and easy to get in touch with. Delivery was super quick. The tutorials on unboxing and setup are so helpful as are the recipe videos! Looking forward to many many years of pizza and cooking in my new Fontana Forni!!"

      Susan V. (5/5)

      No question - this is the best wood fired oven out there

      "We love our Marinara Wood-Fired Oven, finding one reason or another to use it at least once a week if not more often. And that includes in good weather and bad. I saw Fontana Forni's posting on Instagram about insulation. The Fontana is in a class by itself. Our Marinara gets hotter to the touch during the day from direct sunlight than it does in the evening when it is cooking time. Check out these photos from a whopper of a winter storm we had in March of last year. Had to shovel a path to the oven, and didn't bother knocking off the snow on it - just fired it up and did cast-iron steak... at about 750 degrees Fahrenheit! The melt around the chimney wasn't much of a surprise - but the lack of melt on the oven itself was stunning. This insulation isn't just great for cooking, it's an amazing safety feature too. Yes, this is an Awsome Oven - most certainly a TOP Recommendation for anyone seeking the ultimate in wood-fire oven cooking! Cheers - Dan"

      Q&A

      Is this oven good for folks who like their crust more on the crisp end?
      Yes, you can cook the crust to whatever takes your preference - check out our recipes and videos for information on that.
      do they have any short legs for the counter top models so the oven can be raised from counter top about 2"
      Our hybrid ovens come with feet that will enable you to raise the countertop oven 2". This oven does come with rubber feet but they are much smaller.
