A specialized cooking appliance, commonly constructed from heavy-gauge steel, designed for high-temperature baking of pizzas. These ovens are known for their robust construction and ability to reach and maintain temperatures ideal for achieving a crisp crust and thoroughly cooked toppings. They are frequently found in both residential and commercial settings where authentic, wood-fired style pizza is desired.
These ovens offer significant advantages, including superior heat retention and distribution, resulting in consistent cooking performance. This leads to efficiently baked pizzas with a characteristic texture and flavor profile difficult to replicate with conventional ovens. Historically, these ovens draw inspiration from traditional Italian wood-fired ovens, adapted with modern engineering for enhanced control and durability.
