WPPO Tuscany Pizza Oven

The Tuscany kit arrives as modular refractory cement pieces that you assemble yourself. While it is designed to be a simplified process compared to building an oven from scratch, you will need to prepare a solid, level base and have basic masonry skills to assemble, seal, and finish the structure.

Yes, the refractory cement shell is designed to be a blank canvas. You can apply stone veneer, stucco, tile, or brick to match your existing outdoor kitchen aesthetic, provided you use heat-resistant mortars and adhesives appropriate for the application.

It is a versatile wood-fired unit capable of more than just pizza. Because of the excellent heat retention of the refractory cement, it functions effectively as a grill for meats and vegetables, or as a smoker for slow-cooking dishes once the fire has died down.

These ovens are substantial, ranging from 396 lbs for the AD70 model up to 995 lbs for the AD100. You must build a reinforced concrete slab or a heavy-duty masonry stand capable of supporting the oven's weight plus the weight of your chosen exterior finish.

The refractory cement construction is designed for superior heat retention inside the cooking chamber, which helps keep the exterior significantly cooler than a metal oven. However, it will still become warm during extended use, so standard caution is advised.

Wood-fired cooking relies on visual cues and experience rather than digital gauges. You can gauge the temperature by observing the color of the firebrick—when the soot burns off the interior walls and they turn white, the oven is typically at the optimal temperature for pizza.
