Pizza Ovens
Welcome to the world of the delicious art of pizza ovens! In this article, we explore the fascinating symbiosis of tradition and innovation in the form of wood-fired and gas pizza ovens. Whether you're looking for the rustic charm of a wood-fired oven or prefer the convenient cleanliness of a gas pizza oven, you'll learn all about the benefits of both options here.
Wood-fired pizza ovens embody the timeless magic of the old world and add unparalleled flavour to your pizzas. With the crackling fire and enticing aroma of burning wood, they conjure up an authentic atmosphere and unique flavours. We dive into the art of wood-fired pizza ovens, revealing tips on wood selection and baking techniques to master the perfect crispy crust and savoury topping.
For those who value convenience and efficiency, the gas pizza oven offers a modern alternative without compromising on taste. It allows for precise temperature control, fast heat-up times and clean combustion. We highlight the reasons why gas pizza ovens are becoming increasingly popular in the modern kitchen and how they are redefining the art of pizza baking.
Our Wood-fired Pizza Ovens: Smoky and Crispy Pizza Flavor
In our selection, you'll find pizza ovens of various designs and types, including classic pizza ovens, stone ovens, wood-fired ovens, garden pizza ovens, and dome ovens. Each model offers unique functionality, delivering efficient performance for the perfect pizza flavor. Among these, you’ll find wood-fired ovens, with either direct or indirect firing, depending on the model.
Indirect Firing: Modern Technology for Consistent Oven Temperatures
The indirect variant, such as the Valoriani Indirect, is a more recent method. These ovens have two separate chambers, with the fire in the lower chamber heating the walls and floor of the upper one, where the baking occurs. Indirectly heated ovens allow easy temperature control, making them perfect for dishes with longer cooking times, like large meat cuts or certain types of bread.
Delicate Roast Flavor in Direct-fired Pizza Ovens
Direct firing, on the other hand, is the traditional method used since the earliest clay ovens. In direct-fired ovens, the fire and the pizza share the same chamber. The fire is placed in the back, with the food in front of it, benefiting from both direct and indirect heat. The hallmark of a direct-fired pizza oven is the fine crust combined with the rich roast flavor from this heat distribution.
The Wood-fired Oven: Crispy, Authentic Italian Flavor
Originally, all pizzas were baked in stone or wood-fired ovens, giving them a unique flavor. This smoky element cannot be achieved with gas or electric ovens and is often considered the hallmark of authentic Italian pizza. Wood-fired ovens are usually set up in the garden and preheated with wood logs. After reaching the desired temperature, the pizzas are baked within minutes, achieving a crispy texture and smoky taste that pizza lovers adore.
The Pizza Stone: A Key Flavor Enhancer in Pizza Ovens
Pizza baked on a grill or tray cannot compare to the crispy crust of one baked on a stone. That's why the phrase "stone-baked" is considered a mark of quality for pizza. All our pizza ovens come with a fireclay stone. Thicker stones, typically used in professional settings, take longer to heat but retain and distribute heat more evenly, ideal for baking. Thinner stones heat up faster but lose heat quicker. All the stones we sell are food-safe fireclay stones.
Gas Ovens: Practical and Easy-to-use Pizza Ovens
In addition to wood-fired pizza ovens, you will also find gas pizza ovens in various models. Gas-fired ovens have clear advantages over wood-fired models, especially indoors where wood-burning is more challenging due to ventilation requirements. Gas ovens are easier to maintain and clean, making them more convenient for everyday use.
Pizza Ovens in Various Models – Our Selection
Looking for a pizza oven that delivers the best flavor? Our shop offers models that are either traditionally built or feature easy-care designs in various shapes. Classic ovens use fireclay to retain heat and can be fired with wood or gas. These include the Valoriani pizza ovens such as Hobby, Top, or FVR. If you prefer indirect firing, models like the Fontana Gusto or the Valoriani Indirect dome ovens are ideal. We also offer gas and wood ovens that can be built into kitchens, such as the Fontana Cast and Inc V models.
In addition to pizza ovens, our shop offers a range of accessories to assist in building, using, or cleaning your ovens. If you need a new pizza stone for your Valoriani oven, we provide pre-mixed, air-setting mortar and fireclay sets of 135 pieces, as well as chimney pipes and bends for different ovens. You’ll also find pizza peels and protective covers for your grill. Browse our extensive range of accessories!
