Fontana Forni Roma Oven

Yes, the hybrid system is designed for flexibility. You can use the gas burner for consistent temperature control during the initial bake or for convenience, and then add wood for that authentic smoky flavor and aroma.

The oven features a spacious 32-inch by 32-inch cooking surface, which comfortably accommodates four 12-inch pizzas simultaneously.

While it is a substantial piece of equipment weighing 330 lbs, it is designed as a freestanding outdoor appliance. You do not need to build it into a masonry structure, though you will need a sturdy, heat-resistant surface to support its weight.

Thanks to the fully insulated dome and high-performance burner, the oven reaches 750 degrees Fahrenheit in under 30 minutes, allowing you to start cooking relatively quickly.

The oven is constructed with durable steel and advanced insulation to retain heat inside the cooking chamber. However, the exterior can still become hot to the touch during operation, so it should be placed in a safe, clear area away from foot traffic.

The refractory stone is durable, but you should avoid using water or cleaning chemicals on it. Simply scrape off any burnt food residue with a wire brush once the oven has completely cooled down.
